The Church of the Flying Spagetti Monster

After having read that many members of Alberta's new Wildrose Party believe that the alternative theory of Intelligent Design should be taught along with the theory of Evolution in Alberta's schools. 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's 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.

That's why this blog is appearing today, to request that this alternative theory also be taught in Alberta's schools, along with the other two theories. I think we can all look forward to the time when these three theories are given equal time in our science classrooms throughout Alberta, 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.
