The Flying Spaghetti Monster

Why not. I always wondered why the monkeys at the zoo were still there. Why didn't they evolve and escape?

I think its facinating that they would use creatures that we have only a vapor of to prove their point, much like their belief that God does not exist because we can't see him. We are all evolving, so are they, they are getting older (but not wiser) as well. They want to target kids with their brand of atheism, children are taught this stuff, why not make something up they can believe in over God.

I am not familiar with the concept of the flying spaghetti monster, but my husband will attest that the creeping crawling live spaghetti monster exists. As a young child he got up for a drink of water in the night. Someone had spilled some spaghetti pasta in the sink and to his eyes it writhed and crawled. To this day he does not eat pasta. I just had to throw that in to your discussion.

Now this was a cool post. I can't wait to read what others say. I say why not.... big lizard folks learning to fly and are now sweet little singers in the morning sun.... squiggly gooey jelly fish (ick) turning into a flying spaghetti like monster.. why not? Not sure I'd cover it is sauce and enjoy but hey.... that's just me.

I believe in God, myself. Belief in God is not a fallacy. The Flying Spaghetti Monster sounds kind of crazy to me. I don't respect their trip at all. It sounds more like a cartoon to me. I have been told that dinosaurs once eixted, though. Kathy.

If someone were to really investigate gow a cell works and what is really involved in cellular reproduction then I do not see how anyone could even thikn of themselves as an athiest. The cellular chemistry and mechanics of the cell is much too complicated to have occured naturally. (Remember, there had to be the first cell!)

I think it is absolutely hilarious!! EVEN the name. Anybody who is smart enough would not stoop to the level of believing in such NONSENSE. These people will do ANYTHING to deny the existense of the one and only true CREATOR!!

I really don't see why one belief should exclude the other. What is more of a miracle than evolution? And why not a God who is all? I really don't see a problem here at all. Spaghetti Monster or not.

I am convinced that H P Lovecraft was God's True Son, rather than the other guy.

I think your missing the whole point of this Flying Spaghetti Monster. This "being" is said to really just enact all of God's roles. These people use him to show how fairly easy it is to create an idea, and how many people can find it to be ridiculous (or not) depending on how it feels to them. If you ask a lot of people how they feel about God, they may bring up their religion and personal feelings about how great God is and how they feel about him. But, if you bring up the Flying Spaghetti Monster, these same individuals would likely look at you in stupidity. How could you believe in such a thing? The reality is that "God" and the "Flying Spaghetti Monster" are one in the same, just one is more acceptable. I think that is the whole basis for it's creation.

I am not sure aobut this, I have never heard their auguments before. I think it could be a possibilty that it could be true. I have no problem with the theory of evloution. However a belif in the God is simply a matter of fath and not science. Scince should be seprated from religion becase they are two seprate fields of study with there own pricapals.

While I don't really believe that there has to be a separation between creation and evolution, I do not myself believe that the flying spaghetti monster will ever let me down. Sure God could have used evolution to create life over millions of years, but who created the spaghetti? I think we know the answer to this one. We all know it deep down in our hearts. BTW I'm a scientist and believe wholly in evolution, I'm also an agnostic. I am a serious believer that there is a god out there. I just don't think it has any real interest in us. Intervention would take away from what most religions on the planet say god gifted us with, " free will ". I do however have the will to cover my pasta in tomato sauce and peppers and lots and lots of cheese. excellent post. everyone should look up "flying spaghetti monster" on the following link www.craftster.com I've seen it and these people have too.

That is new to me. The flying spaghetti monster. HMM.

Any pastafarian who heard atheists talking about the flying spaghetti monster in such a manner would call that blasphemy. xD *likes Pastafarians as much as Discordians, because it's difficult to tell if they're for real or just playing, if that's not an insulting thing to say* I always liked their idea for how the world came about though. In fact, I hope they're right and the rest of us are wrong...just for the irony.xD

There is no escaping his noodly appendages.

Just a small point, there is a theory that birds are dinosaurs, the dinos did not all die out. There a lots of similarities between the birds and dinos such as a crop to grind their food and other anatomical similarities, and I believe fossil records that show the evolution of birds from dinosaurs. Using the bible for science does not make any more sense than using it for medicine and health. People were incredibly ignorant about things we take for granted today in these areas.

To each his own, I believe in God and I believe in science, though they do not really mix, it's in the believer's mind, I just don't bother myself about it, lots of more important things to do.

Hmmm? Like all truth the real answer is more complicated. God has the sum of all knowledge. His IQ is really up there. With such knowledge of the complex, God creates the universe with a bang. If you were that smart, you would want the system to be automated.God creates the universe to unfold into what we have today. Evolution does fit into this. There are no flying spaghetti monsters because that was not in the design.

I don't think religion go against science. There is no use always arguing and arguing without knowing the exact truth--whether the god exists. Religion is faith for every follower of a religion, which give out power and courage. The belief in God isn't just a fallacy. People have no right to destroy the faith of others. And they surely will not succeed, whether they adhere to the science or not.
