I'm expecting this thread to be as popular as the other two. No really!

I voted all three. Because I could, and because logic recedes before subject like this.

Seriously, I much preferred Russell's teapot.
"I have a post-Armageddon vision. We and all other large animals are gone. Rodents emerge as the ultimate post-human scavengers. They gnaw their way through New York, London and Tokyo... within 5 million years, a whole range of new species replace the ones we know. Herds of giant grazing rats are stalked by sabre-toothed predatory rats. Given enough time, will a species of intelligent, cultivated rats emerge?"

Yup, I believe. I will not argue to defend my stance, since it's existence is so self-evident to anyone of any intelligence that it should be beyond any need for explanation.

Follow the link in a later reply.

Basically, the flying spaghetti monster is a joke meant to combat the attempts to teach intelligent design/creationism in science classes in American schools.

The reasoning goes like this.

ID says: these and these and these things mean evolution is wrong/just a theory and shouldn't be taught as the exclusive truth in science class.

Therefore, ID should be taught as an alternative.

The FSM 'religion' replies that if ID should be taught as an alternative even though no actual evidence -for- ID is presented, just (worthless) arguments against evolution, then all other alternate explanations should be taught also. So they demand the religion of Pastafarianism be taught in science class.

Basic tenets are: All life was created by the Flying Spaghetti Monster some time ago. All scientific evidence is false, just placed there to confuse us. Global warming is caused directly by the decline of the world-wide pirate population. Therefore, people should wear pirate regalia on religious hollidays. (or something like this. I may well have gotten it wrong, but you get the gist.)

It's meant to show how illogical it is to state "If A is false, then completely unrelated explanation B MUST be true." It's also meant to illustrate the failing of the argument "You can't prove God doesn't exist, so you have to at least admit the possibility." You can't prove the flying spaghetti monster doesn't exist either. Or Russell's teapot. Or the invisible pink unicorn.

They gnaw their way through New York, London and Tokyo... within 5 million years, a whole range of new species replace the ones we know. Herds of giant grazing rats are stalked by sabre-toothed predatory rats. Given enough time, will a species of intelligent, cultivated rats emerge?"

Is the onus on the person to prove that God doesn't exist, or to prove that God does exist? As I can't prove that Skaskrit Venomclaw does exist (all I have is circumstantial evidence of UE account details), should I discount the possibility? Or, as I can't prove that Skaskrit Venomclaw does not exist, should I at least admit the possibility that he does? :lol:

A difficult conundrum indeed Scriv, but lets go further. Lets consider the possibility that the UE itself doesn't exist, but were all a demented hullicination of the Machine[aka Vinz] and all symbols for the events currently happening in his life. Or maybe Skaskrit is in a coma and we're just part of the elaborate maze of symbollic images in his mind. OR! We're all just in the Matrix and there is no spoon.

I just don't know. I just hope somebody works it out soon so I can eat my soup. :(

Hmm. Though I can't prove that this is a hallucination from Vinz and will therefore admit the possibility that it is, I will put forward an alternative hypothesis that, calculating the levels of weirdness in the UE, it is more likely instead to be a hallucination from Snkeep. But if the levels were higher, then the odds would indicate that it were likelier that it is a hallucination from Ratphink.

If you put your soup in the freezer, then you can eat it with a knife and fork. ;)

The Underempire does exist, but it was created at 6.30AM this morning by the flying spaghetti monster, who wrote all the posts.

He then implanted memories of us reading and writing them earlier.
