Oh that's right, I forgot... well basically it's a site that pokes fun at the whole idea of creationism being used in the scientific community. They're argument is that creationism is just as possible as us being created by the "Flying Spaghetti Monster" (thus the reference to "noodly appendage")
a quote from the site:
"Letting the religious right teach ID in schools is like letting the Marines teach poetry in advanced combat training. As a scientist, I see these the relevancy between the two sets to be equal. If Kansas is going to mess up like this, the least it can do is not be hypocritical and allow equal time for other alternative "theories" like FSMism, which is by far the tastier choice." -- J. Simon, PhD
I need to make that into a shirt: "I was touched by His Noodly Appendage!" It's the ultimate sign of being atheist! But then again, "Pastafarian" or "Pasta is my homeboy" works really well too...
This is also very good quotage: 4. Are you an atheist/heathen/etc.?
I don't have a problem with religion. What I have a problem with is religion posing as science. Teach creationism in school, fine, but DON'T teach it in a science classroom. Science = the study of repeatable, observable, natural phenomena. Accepting a supernatural explanation is a cop-out. It's faith, NOT science.
Religious nuts: please stop emailing me about that. No I can't "repeat" evolution for you, so stop asking. But if you doubt the science that allows us to guess the age of the earth, then please stop using your computer, cell phones, and TV. The same methods of science that brought you those are the same methods we use for these evil evolution theories. Science is NOT truth, it's the search for truth, fact.
5. You are making God angry.
I doubt it. If there's a god, and he's intelligent, then I would guess he has a sense of humor. And how do you know He is NOT a Flying Spaghetti Monster?
