If someone wishes to make up a fictitious name such as the above it will have no effect on the theory. It will neither qualify or disqualify it. It will, however, tend to lower the level of discussion. A flying spaghetti monster has no basis in reality. Intelligent designers do. Understand the difference?

The only difference is that you want to believe in an intelligent designer. Other than that, one does not have a greater "basis in reality" than the other.
