As an interesting follow up to my first posted video, Darwin and God walked into a bar, I thought I'd call attention to the ever present fight in the teaching of this kind of subject matter in the classroom. More specifically, as a founded scientific theory. Belief in a Creator God or not, a pressing issue still very common in public schools today is whether or not to include creation or intelligent design while teaching such theories as "big bang" and evolution.
One such argument against the teaching of Intelligent Design in a scientific classroom has come in the form of the following letter and then an ever growing website/pastafarian following.
I am writing you with much concern after having read of your hearing to decide whether the alternative theory of Intelligent Design should be taught along with the theory of Evolution. 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 us 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.
