Everything that exists has an explanation of its existence (either in the necessity of its own nature or in an external cause).Ģ. But is it actually true that we can know nothing about the Designer? Let us put God and the Flying Spaghetti Monster to a few tests.Ĭonsider the Argument from Contigency (thanks Dr Craig for the videos herein)ġ. Even the Theory of Panspermia is compatible with Intelligent Design.īobby obviously thinks that we can know nothing about the Designer, and his Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is predicated on nothing more than the imagination as a result, a lame caricature of theistic belief. Nor does he understand Intelligent Design for that matter, which doesn’t go into ‘who’ the Designer is at all. Ancient History scholars at top universities have been studying one man for the last 2000 years, and it’s not Thor or the Tooth Fairy! To read more about the distinction I highly recommend this book by John Lennox.īobby has jumped to conclusions about the Christian faith without actually examining it in the first place. To suggest they belong on the same category together is just silly. That is because there is a vast distinction in created gods vs the Uncreated God. When we become adults, we don’t persist in believing in Santa Clause or the Tooth Fairy, but many of us do go on to believe in God, sometimes only arriving at His feet much later on in life. The God of the bible is uncreated and exists necessarily, Who is the God of the WHOLE show. Obviously neither of them investigated the other side of the coin (Christianity) before putting their foot in their mouth. Notice that Bobby shares the same false assumption that Richard Dawkins (a famous atheist who wrote the book ‘The God Delusion’) holds to: that God is a created god, which on their view begs the question “Who created God?”.
So he made up the Flying Spaghetti Monster. He thinks that believing in God is like believing in Santa Clause or the Tooth Fairy. Now first of all, it is important to realise that Bobby forwarded that creative piece of imagination to the State Board because he thinks the bible is just a piece of fiction. You can read more about his ‘church’ here. He thinks Christians invented Intelligent Design to push Creationism into schools. He runs the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. The ‘legendary’ Flying Spaghetti Monster was put together by Bobby Henderson, and forwarded in a satirical letter to the State Board of Education of Kansas to protest against Intelligent Design way back in 2005. We tend to be very secretive, as many people claim our beliefs are not substantiated by observable evidence…”
Also, you may be surprised to hear that there are o ver 10 million of us, and growing.
We have several lengthy volumes explaining all details of His power. None of us, of course, were around to see it, but we have written accounts of it. We have evidence that a Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe. “…Some find that hard to believe, so it may be helpful to tell you a little more about our beliefs.
