ok, i'm getting really confused.  it's been forever since my sunday school 
days, but i thought the real story had something to do with klingons and 
uranus. . . .

no, no Mike, the real truth about origins can be found in the following:

  TO KANSAS SCHOOL BOARD

I am writing you with much concern after having read of your hearing to 
decide whether the alternative theory of Intelligent Design should be 
taught along with the theory of Evolution. I think we can all agree that 
it is important for students to hear multiple viewpoints so they can 
choose for themselves the theory that makes the most sense to them. I am 
concerned, however, that students will only hear one theory of 
Intelligent Design.

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.

Some find that hard to believe, so it may be helpful to tell you a 
little more about our beliefs. We have evidence that a Flying Spaghetti 
Monster created the universe. None of us, of course, were around to see 
it, but we have written accounts of it. We have several lengthy volumes 
explaining all details of His power. Also, you may be surprised to hear 
that there are over 10 million of us, and growing. We tend to be very 
secretive, as many people claim our beliefs are not substantiated by 
observable evidence. What these people don’t understand is that He built 
the world to make us think the earth is older than it really is. For 
example, a scientist may perform a carbon-dating process on an artifact. 
He finds that approximately 75% of the Carbon-14 has decayed by electron 
emission to Nitrogen-14, and infers that this artifact is approximately 
10,000 years old, as the half-life of Carbon-14 appears to be 5,730 
years. But what our scientist does not realize is that every time he 
makes a measurement, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is there changing the 
results with His Noodly Appendage. We have numerous texts that describe 
in detail how this can be possible and the reasons why He does this. He 
is of course invisible and can pass through normal matter with ease.

I’m sure you now realize how important it is that your students are 
taught this alternate theory. It is absolutely imperative that they 
realize that observable evidence is at the discretion of a Flying 
Spaghetti Monster. Furthermore, it is disrespectful to teach our beliefs 
without wearing His chosen outfit, which of course is full pirate 
regalia. I cannot stress the importance of this enough, and 
unfortunately cannot describe in detail why this must be done as I fear 
this letter is already becoming too long. The concise explanation is 
that He becomes angry if we don’t.

You may be interested to know that global warming, earthquakes, 
hurricanes, and other natural disasters are a direct effect of the 
shrinking numbers of Pirates since the 1800s. For your interest, I have 
included a graph of the approximate number of pirates versus the average 
global temperature over the last 200 years. As you can see, there is a 
statistically significant inverse relationship between pirates and 
global temperature.

In conclusion, thank you for taking the time to hear our views and 
beliefs. I hope I was able to convey the importance of teaching this 
theory to your students. We will of course be able to train the teachers 
in this alternate theory. I am eagerly awaiting your response, and hope 
dearly that no legal action will need to be taken. I think we can all 
look forward to the time when these three theories are given equal time 
in our science classrooms across the country, and eventually the world; 
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.

Bob, Bob, Bob.

You poor deluded fool.  I think everyone knows the world exists on a 
Great White Handkerchief, and will end when The Great Sneeze comes.
If you don't change your thinking, you, and all unbelievers, will be 
cast into everlasting snot. 

The Flying Spaghetti Monster is a false idol.  You have tricked by the forces 
of darkness into believing that there is free marinara for everyone, we will 
never run out of parmasean, and that the noodle goes on forever.  Not true.

I will pray for you.  More importantly, YOU can help spread the work by 
sending your contribution to Committee to Advance Spiritual 
Handkerchiefism, or to make is easier, just make it out to CASH and 
forward to me.

Bless you.
