CAN I GET A &#8220;RAMEN&#8221; FROM THE CONGREGATION?!<br><br>Behold the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM), today&#8217;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&#8217;s devout followers, a.k.a. Pastafarians? Some say it&#8217;s the assuring touch from the FSM&#8217;s &#8220;noodly appendage.&#8221; 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&#8217;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&#8211;and it has nothing to do with apes or the Olive Garden of Eden.<br><br>Within these pages, Bobby Henderson outlines the true facts&#8211; dispelling such malicious myths as evolution (&#8220;only a theory&#8221;), science (&#8220;only a lot of theories&#8221;), and whether we&#8217;re really descended from apes (fact: Humans share 95 percent of their DNA with chimpanzees, but they share 99.9 percent with pirates!)<br>See what impressively credentialed top scientists have to say:<br><br><i>&#8220;If Intelligent Design is taught in schools, equal time should be given to the FSM theory and the non-FSM theory.&#8221;</i><br>&#8211;Professor Douglas Shaw, Ph.D.<br> <br><i>&#8220;Do not be hypocritical. Allow equal time for other alternative &#8216;theories&#8217; like FSMism, which is by far the tastier choice.&#8221;</i><br>&#8211;J. Simon, Ph.D.<br><br><i>&#8220;In my scientific opinion, when comparing the two theories, FSM theory seems to be more valid than classic ID theory.&#8221;</i><br>&#8211;Afshin Beheshti, Ph.D.<br><br>Read the book and decide for yourself!
