Welcome to Litsy!

CAN I GET A �RAMEN� FROM THE CONGREGATION?! Behold the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM), today�s fastest growing carbohydrate-based religion. According to church founder Bobby Henderson, the universe and all life within it were created by a mystical and divine being: the Flying Spaghetti Monster. What drives the FSM�s devout followers, a.k.a. Pastafarians? Some say it�s the assuring touch from the FSM�s �noodly appendage.� Then there are those who love the worship service, which is conducted in pirate talk and attended by congregants in dashing buccaneer garb. Still others are drawn to the Church�s flimsy moral standards, religious holidays every Friday, or the fact that Pastafarian heaven is way cooler: Does your heaven have a Stripper Factory and a Beer Volcano? Intelligent Design has finally met its match�and it has nothing to do with apes or the Olive Garden of Eden. Within these pages, Bobby Henderson outlines the true facts� dispelling such malicious myths as evolution (�only a theory�), science (�only a lot of theories�), and whether we�re really descended from apes (fact: Humans share 95 percent of their DNA with chimpanzees, but they share 99.9 percent with pirates!) See what impressively credentialed top scientists have to say: �If Intelligent Design is taught in schools, equal time should be given to the FSM theory and the non-FSM theory.� �Professor Douglas Shaw, Ph.D. �Do not be hypocritical. Allow equal time for other alternative �theories� like FSMism, which is by far the tastier choice.� �J. Simon, Ph.D. �In my scientific opinion, when comparing the two theories, FSM theory seems to be more valid than classic ID theory.� �Afshin Beheshti, Ph.D. Read the book and decide for yourself!
