Flying Spaghetti Monster debunked

Kevin is dead to the world, wearing his flying spaghetti monster shirt. Carter and Archie are talking to him and using him as a jungle gym.

Carter: What does a flying spaghetti monster do?

Kevin: (groggily) It exposes the fallacies in so-called intelligent design.

Carter: (as though talking to an insane baby) Dad, you’re talking work again.

Me: (instantly panicked, remembering the Noah controversy last time we had a creation discussion, I launch into an overly lengthy explanation of FSM and intelligent design, including a creationist timeline,, some blathering about dinosaurs and histories of the world that are limited to 6,000 years.)

Carter: Well, we know a Flying Spaghetti Monster didn’t do it (cause the extinction of dinosaurs, or create mankind) because Spaghetti didn’t exist when there were dinosaurs, so it couldn’t make them extinct.

It’s that kind of thinking that brings clarity to the larger intellectual debates of today.
