A very complicated way to let the world know that you are a sore loser...
Every once in a while, someone comes along and doesn't like the game that is being played and throws a wall-eyed temper tantrum...
...and then you've got guys like the 'Pastafarians' who take it to the next level of stupidity...
Who are the Pastafarians?
According to Wikipedia (if you can believe an encyclopedia that ANYONE can change):
The Flying Spaghetti Monster (also known as the Spaghedeity) is the deity of a parody religion called The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and its system of beliefs, "Pastafarianism". The religion was founded in 2005 by Oregon State University physics graduate Bobby...to protest the decision by the Kansas State Board of Education to require the teaching of intelligent design as an alternative to biological evolution.
In an open letter sent to the education board, [Bobby] professes belief in a supernatural creator called the Flying Spaghetti Monster which resembles spaghetti and meatballs. He furthermore calls for the "Pastafarian" theory of creation to be taught in science classrooms.
Due to its recent popularity and media exposure, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is often used by atheists, agnostics (known by Pastafarians as "spagnostics"), and others as a modern version of Russell's teapot.

Ok, so little Bobby doesn't like the creation story. Guess what, Bobby, a lot of people don't like the creation story. A lot of people don't like the evolution fable either.
Ahem! Let me calm down and take the middle ground here before I launch into Bobby...
Neither evolution or creation are provable; therefore both require that you 'believe' in them. Now, people can 'believe' whatever they want. I have looked at both theories...have listened to debates on this subject until my ears bled...and I have read more crap on these two theories until I had to get laser surgery on my cornea.
Which one is true? Neither can be proven. So which one should get tax-funded? To be fair: both or neither.
FUND BOTH OF THEM! Let the student decide which one to take, and let both sets of courses (1 set for evolution and 1 set for creation) lead towards a degree with equal credit rating.
Which one do I believe? I believe creationism to be correct. Why? Because it makes more sense to me. God spoke and it happened which makes a whole lot more sense than to say that everything came from nothing. What? Yes, the evolutionist believes that everything came from nothing. They call it the "Big Bang".
Now, the next thing that will happen is that some knucklehead will say, "Rayburn believes in creation? Look at the stuff he writes. They're all about blah, blah, blazzy-blah. Har-har-har!" as they wipe the slobber from their shirt.
I have been in debates on this subject for many years, and do you know how many peoples minds that I have changed? Zero.
Debates are for those who want to argue. No one wins unless you have irrefutable proof that your argument is correct.
Back to the subject
So little Bobby didn't get his way. So what does he do? Made himself look like a brat is what he did. Although I can't give Bob all the credit. He just made up an idea and the rest of the atheists followed suit and are completing the fable of their zesty Italian-flavored icon. I don't really think little Bobby could have come up with this all by himself. Besides, misery loves company.
Here's what I figure happened. When little Bobby saw that they were actually going to teach creationism in his school, he FREAKED OUT. "What? You mean there are people who believe there is a God? What if it's true? I might be held accountable for what I do! AUGH!!!! SPAGHETTI MONSTER, PLEASE SAVE ME!!!!"
And then his brain got stuck on stupid as the rest of the atheists completed the idea of the spaghetti theory.
Little Bobby, I am sorry that the only course of action that you knew to take concerning creationism was to dive head first into doofyism. You could have handled this much more "intelligently".
Oh, and by the way, I do have another theory: Perhaps only the atheist came from monkeys? ...now that's a subject that is debatable.
I'm out,
Rayburn
