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! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - RAmen, brother.This is a hilarious bit of satire regarding the intelligent design controversy in public schools. I'm almost a convert to Pastafarianism after reading the book. I'd recommend this to anyone with an open mind and a sense of humor. Rating: - Humor With a Serious PointBehind this religious parody, there's a serious point that can be stated quite briefly: "Science always looks for NATURAL explanations of phenomena; if you start calling SUPERNATURAL explanations 'science,' you expand the definition of science and throw the door wide open to any and every explanation." The invisible Flying Spaghetti Monster serves as an exaggerated example of just how you can twist facts to fit with a non-scientific explanation and sell it as scientifically proven. Read More Rating: - Genius!This book is just way too much fun to read. It's very cleverly written and I highly recommend it! Rating: - Get Touched!If there is anything that is true it is that fundamental religion will destroy us all...that and a lack of pirates to thwart global warming. The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is quite possibly some of the greatest satire of religion since Johnathan Swift. While I am a religious person, the many ludacrious things that the church and other congregations have proposed have bordered on that of hypocracy and stupidity. There is no denying of Charles Darwin's ... Read More Rating: - Wow... Great readTrue enlightenment. What makes this book so special? It has indeed been touched by his holy appendage.
