Just because a FSM doesn't exist that wouldn't rule out a higher conscious in the universe. Humans cannot tell how limited their perception is. Who knows what we will come to understand a million years from now?

The point of the FSM movement is
if you are going to teach creationism in the schools, at the expense of the Taxpayer, which creation story is to be used?
There are many creation stories, and the cretins always shouting that creationism should be taught in schools mean their version, not their neighbors.
People like that never should have been allowed to invade Turtle Island.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster has as much supporting evidence as Intelligent design, so any arguments that ID must be given equal time in the classroom require FSM have equal time. That is the point.

There may indeed be a higher consciousness directing the proper functioning of the universe. But its operation is so subtle, its actions so consistent, that we simply cannot tell. A difference that makes no difference can be regarded as no difference, until such time as there demonstrably is one. A million years from now, we may BE the "God" we seek now. There's simply no way to predict what we will understand. For now, we have an understanding of the univese that works well enough with or without God. If God refuses to provide any incontrovertible evidence for his existence, what is our obligation to believe it?

The point of FSM is to promote individual thinking and thinking out of the box. If you do this, you can realize that the probablility of us spontaneously existing in a crazy universe is more likely that a perfect being spontaneously being created only to later create us.

The only one missing the point of the argument is you. The point being that we have as much evidence for FSM as we do for Yahweh, Allah or any other god, so what gives you the reason to believe one instead of another?

i have no idea what you are talking about, or where the FSM comes from, but I have to agree that no one knows what we will come to understand a million years from now - or even if we will be here (not us, personally, but humans in general) a million years from now. or how we will have evolved by then.

The point is that there is no more proof for the existence of the FSM than there is for any other god.
The idea that a spaghetti monster created the Universe is just as valid as the idea of the Christian god.

The FSM deserves to be worshiped and feared, just like God, Zeus, Allah, Thor or Oden.

But who has seen the face of Divinity? If they want to be Pastafarians, so be it. It doesn't hurt me a bit, does it hurt you? And you're right, who does know what we will come to understand a million years from now. It won't be anything new if we keep closed minds, now will it?
