Pastafarianism
From Cultwiki - Whole Lotta Cult
Pastafarianism is a cult whose members are followers of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Founded by Bobby Henderson in around 2005, its followers consider its beliefs to be as valid as Intelligent Design saying
- "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."[1]Template:Citation/core{{#if:|}}</ref>
The central belief is that there is an invisible and undetectable Flying Spaghetti Monster, who created the entire universe "after drinking heavily." The Monster's intoxication was supposedly the cause for a flawed Earth. All "evidence" for evolution was planted by the Flying Spaghetti Monster, in an effort to test Pastafarians' faith — a form of the Omphalos hypothesis. When scientific measurements, such as radiocarbon dating, are made, the Flying Spaghetti Monster "is there changing the results with His Noodly Appendage."[1]
