Proof!
A while back, I wrote about my conversion to Pastafarianism. Not being a religious person by nature, the transition to a faith-based reality has been awkward. But now I am happy to announce that my new religion has been validated by science!
First, the facts:
Penne Rigate will spontaneously insert itself into Rigatoni (order pasta) under liquid to gas transition conditions of H2O to create the previously unobserved species Noodleous doubleous. The estimated probability of this spontaneous generation event is too low to be explained by thermodynamics and therefore apparently represents intelligent design.
And who is this intelligent designer? Top scientists give us the name:
A viable hypothesis is that a divine Noodly Appendage of the Flying Spaghetti Monster was responsible for the effect. These results are therefore strong empirical in support of Flying Spaghetti Monsterism.
Now, this isn't definitive, but science should always leave room for faith. However, there is another piece of evidence that has come to my attention that casts doubt on an alternative account of creation. I mean, how can the Christians claim intelligence when so many of them are doing this this weekend?
