Intelligent Spaghetti

from NY Times article, "In perfect deadpan he wrote that although he agreed that science students should "hear multiple viewpoints" of how the universe came to be, he was worried that they would be hearing only one theory of intelligent design"

Bobby Henderson, a 25-year-old with a physics degree from Oregon State University has presented us with that alternative, the Flying Spaghetti Monster. (venganza.org)

The site above includes many responses Bobby has received. Here's one:

"As both a minister and a scientist, I agree with you that there is no place in the science curriculum for ID or related pseudo-scientific theories of how humans came to be. Evolution is the scientific explanation for life on earth. If schools are going to include "alternative theories" in the curriculum that are not based upon the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment, then FSMism is as good ID, so I support efforts 100%."
