Bobby Henderson needs your help in his crusade to get Flying Spaghetti
Monsterism in the curriculum of Kansas’ public schools.
The Kansas State Board of Education is considering inclusion of the George W. Bush endorsed theory of life known as “Intelligent Design” along side the teaching of evolution in science classes. Henderson has written an open letter to the Kansas Board proposing to broaden the number of “alternative theories” Kansas students will learn to include Flying Spaghetti Monsterism.
“Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. It was He who created all that we see and all that we feel. We feel strongly that the overwhelming scientific evidence pointing towards evolutionary processes is nothing but a coincidence, put in place by Him.
It is for this reason that I’m writing you today, to formally request that this alternative theory be taught in your schools, along with the other two theories. In fact, I will go so far as to say, if you do not agree to do this, we will be forced to proceed with legal action. I’m sure you see where we are coming from. If the Intelligent Design theory is not based on faith, but instead another scientific theory, as is claimed, then you must also allow our theory to be taught, as it is also based on science, not on faith.”
In short he wants one third time for Intelligent Design, one third time for Flying Spaghetti Monsterism, and one third time for logical conjecture based on overwhelming observable evidence.
If the non-scientific, faith-based concept known as ID – which says Darwin’s Theory of Evolution cannot explain the complexity of creation and instead posits the existence of a supernatural intelligence – can be made part of a science class, then why not demand that Flying Spaghetti Monsterism’s concept of creation be taught as well? Who could argue with that?
