While we're talking about pirates....

While talking to friends, I discovered something that has changed my life for the better. I found the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

The state of Kansas recently mandated that the theory of Intelligent Design be taught along with evolution in public schools. The Church of the FSM is seeking to get their theory of Intelligent Design taught in public schools in Kansas too.

The basic idea is that the earth is not really as old as scientists tell us it is. There are writings that describe how the universe was created by the Flying Spaghetti Monster instead of through evolution or creationism.

That's just crazy talk, you say. Look at all the evidence that we have that tells us how old the earth is! Here's what the FSWians have as an answer...

A scientist may perform a carbon-dating process on an artifact. He finds that approximately 75% of the Carbon-14 has decayed by electron emission to Nitrogen-14, and infers that this artifact is approximately 10,000 years old, as the half-life of Carbon-14 appears to be 5,730 years. But what our scientist does not realize is that every time he makes a measurement, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is there changing the results with His Noodly Appendage. We have numerous texts that describe in detail how this can be possible and the reasons why He does this. He is of course invisible and can pass through normal matter with ease.

What is more important is the need to teach these truths while wearing appropriate clothing. Members of the Church of the FSM dress as pirates. This is done for a very important reason. As you can see from this graph, global warming has increased in the same proportion as the decline of the pirate population of the earth. Dressing and behaving like pirates is thought to be one of the best ways that we can slow the increase in average temperatures that is happening all over the world.

I know it is difficult to take these facts at face value. I've included a bit of visual evidence in this post to help you see what is true and right.

Thanks for reading.
