According to  church founder Bobby Henderson, the universe and all life within it were created  by a mystical and divine being: the Flying Spaghetti Monster. What drives the FSM’ s devout followers, a.k.a. Pastafarians? Some say it’s the assuring touch from the  FSM’s “noodly appendage.” Then there are those who love the worship service, which  is conducted in pirate talk and attended by congregants in dashing buccaneer garb.  Still others are drawn to the Church’s flimsy moral standards, religious holidays  every Friday, or the fact that Pastafarian heaven is way cooler: Does your heaven  have a Stripper Factory and a Beer Volcano? Intelligent Design has finally met its  match—and it has nothing to do with apes or the Olive Garden of Eden.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Within these  pages, Bobby Henderson outlines the true facts– dispelling such malicious myths as  evolution (“only a theory”), science (“only a lot of theories”), and whether we’re  really descended from apes (fact: Humans share 95 percent of their DNA with chimpanzees,  but they share 99.9 percent with pirates!)\u003cbr\u003e See what impressively credentialed top  scientists have to say:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e“If Intelligent Design is taught in schools, equal time  should be given to the FSM theory and the non-FSM theory.”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e –Professor Douglas Shaw,  Ph.D.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e“Do not be hypocritical.
