Evolution vs. spaghetti

Well, you have probably heard that our dear leader has endored Intelligent Design, saying "I think that part of education is to expose people to different schools of thought."

Well, I think he's not going far enough. There are many other theories that should really be taught. My current favorite is The Flying Spaghetti Monster. Please go to that link and read the whole letter- it's really worth it. Just to entice you, I'll quote a couple paragraphs:

"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 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."

And that's not all-- there's also mention of pirates! Really worth the read. Check it out.
