Touched by His Noodly Appendage
President Bush has recently endorsed so-called “Intelligent Design” theory and has stated that he thinks it should be taught alongside evolution in our schools. No matter that Intelligent Design is not science. Science, as most people besides Intelligent Design proponents know, starts with a hypothesis, continues with an experiment, and ends with a conclusion. Intelligent Design, on the other hand, starts with a conclusion and then goes and looks for ways to prove the conclusion.
This means it is not science. End. Of. Debate.
But science isn’t my main concern. My main concern, like President Bush’s, is that alternative theories be taught to the children of the United States (SAVE THE CHILDREN!!!!). My own particular religion, the First Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, represents yet another way to describe the creation of the universe, and the scientific establishment has just been shutting us out! The Flying Spaghetti Monster of course created the Universe by using His Noodly Appendage. I’m asking you all to support Him by forwarding this Open Letter to the Kansas School Board to make sure that all competing theories of the creation of the Universe are taught alongside evolution in our schools. And buy a t-shirt while you’re at it.
