Clueless.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster has stretched its noodles to Polk County.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster, or FSM, is a satirical group that pokes fun at intelligent design. It first emerged in 2005 during the debate in Kansas over whether the belief should be taught in science classes.

The group has sent dozens of e-mails to Polk County School Board members demanding that the idea of a Flying Spaghetti Monster creating the world receive classroom equal time with other views. The e-mail campaign began after four of seven board members said in November that they supported teaching intelligent design in addition to evolution.

PING!

"...a satirical group that pokes fun at intelligent design..."

I always thought that it was meant to specifically mock people who had a belief in God....

Here we go again ping

No. It mocks those who would debase their religious beliefs by disguising them as science.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Yeah, the FSM has almost as much credibility as macro evolution.

Nope. Just cdesign proponentsists.

Typical evolution post. Strange thing that a rock can suddenly come to life and that’s irrefutable scientific fact but if one thinks an intelligence had something to do with it it’s nonsense.

[GulfBreeze]

na ahh

[js1138]

Phooey on your monster. Cthulhu is the designer. Teach the controversy.

[GulfBreeze]

Good job!

[ontap]

As opposed to those who debase science by presenting theories as fact.

[ASA Vet]

The TOE doesn’t address origin.

You are here: Science >> Darwin's Theory Of Evolution Darwin's Theory of Evolution - The Premise Darwin's Theory of Evolution is the widely held notion that all life is related and has descended from a common ancestor: the birds and the bananas, the fishes and the flowers -- all related. Darwin's general theory presumes the development of life from non-life and stresses a purely naturalistic (undirected) "descent with modification". That is, complex creatures evolve from more simplistic ancestors naturally over time. In a nutshell, as random genetic mutations occur within an organism's genetic code, the beneficial mutations are preserved because they aid survival -- a process known as "natural selection." These beneficial mutations are passed on to the next generation. Over time, beneficial mutations accumulate and the result is an entirely different organism (not just a variation of the original, but an entirely different creature).

You might want to read up on that!

Phooey on Cthulhu (a gun-grabbing abortionist gay rights gun-grabber). Zombgasmic Origins of Discovery Theory has it goin’ ON.

[Citizen Tom Paine]

The flying spaghetti monster believers are clearly wrong in there beliefs. Life in the Universe was clearly originated by a giant white Rabbit which hopped from solar system to solar system leaving eggs on each planet from which all life developed.

Proof of this exists in our legend of an egg laying Easter Rabbit. I have avoided publishing this until now to avoid upsetting the general public.

It all seems so harmless until you read the hateful comments from the proponents of FSM.
