What is the Church of the Flying Spaghetti?

In 2005, Hansas State Board of Education voted to require public schools to include the theory of "intelligent design" as a viable alternative to the Darwino theory of evolution. This decision made a student of physics postgraduate studio on behalf of Bobby Henderson to propose a somewhat satirical protest letter. Henderson argued that no legitimate theory of "intelligent design" could be presented as scientific fact without recognizing God who would violate the department of religion and science in public schools. He introduced an argument that logically attributed to the all -powerful flying spaghetti monster with the creation of a famous universe.

This letter became the basis of a parodic religion known as Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. The "faith" adherents claim "spaghedeity", the flying spaghetti monster, actually used their boring pendants and other forces to create everything on the planet after heavy drinking. If the scientist is used by techniques like jE dating carbon-14 to refute this theory, invisible flying spaghetti monster would actively distort the results in its advantage.

Henderson continued to create mostly satirical "sacred text", which further outlined the principles of the church of the flying spaghetti monster. Many of these principles are freely based on or proposed by a Jewish-Christian script, such as ten commandments. For example, the Henderson version of the commandments is portrayed as "eight, which I would not really do". The followers of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti are called Pastafarians, a game of Jamaican religion Rastafarianism.

Although many of the church of the flying spaghetti Monster's texts and faith are a little more than exercising in the university satire, there is a basic point to move. The theory of intelligent design is Very is difficult to explain on a purely scientific level because theory inevitably leads to questions about “intelligent rushRhaři ”responsible for creating.

The Church of the Flying Spaghetti monster is best described as a parodic religion, along the line of "Bob" Dobbs' church of subgenia or against religion, somewhat similar to scientology or scientific agnosticism. It is still popular on many university campuses, especially for those who feel liberated from ordinary religions or are attracted by an anti -cultural lifestyle in general. The Flying Spaghetti Monster Church has its own website and its literature is available in many bookstores and libraries.
