Re: Pastafarian Theology Doctoral Theses
This Doctorate thing all seems a bit too involved. Why don't you just focus on becoming a Saint or Prophet or Messiah or something?

I'll focus on my thesis, but thank you for the generous offer.

So the majestic baldy takes his opportunity, swoops down from on high and wires the adolescent aguila's beak shut, much to the relief of the entire forum.

Also, muzzling a bird is generally considered cruel.

Slate and chalk, sheer luxury! We had to draw in the sand with a stick.

Re: Pastafarian Theology Doctoral Theses
Apparently we can't afford normal, white paper, but we can afford to give every high/middle school student a (shat though it is) laptop of their own, about 5 less than a teacher per subject per grade, a projector in every classroom, and laptops for both elementary schools.Cardinal Fang wrote:StayThirstyMyAguila wrote:EDIT: Revised thesis is en route, ETA Monday morning, it's on my school laptop.

"Why is the school so underfunded?", they ask. "How come we can't afford regular paper?", they ask.

Re: Pastafarian Theology Doctoral Theses (Revised)
You know what they say:
The Creation Implication Version 2.0
Anonymous wrote:If at first you don't succeed; call it version 1.0.
The Creation Implication Version 2.0
- We all know the argument against a creator, intelligent or otherwise: The creator must have had a creator, and that creator a creator, et cetera. This even applies to the Big Bang, because where did the Big Bang come from?
If you have yet to read The Gospel Of The Flying Spaghetti Monster by Bobby Henderson, then I strongly suggest you do so, or at least that you read the passage on pages 164-169 if you need clarification on the 'infinite creators' idea. If you do not have access to a copy of The Gospel, or are simply too lazy to check the passage, it reads, in part, "The basic argument is that the complexity of the known universe implies the existence of a creator. The union of the creator and creation is a set that is more complex than just the universe and thus implies a creator of the larger set. An induction hypothesis follows readily from this approach." (Henderson, page 164).
The source of our apparent problem, at least, as mine eyes see it, is that any creator implies a mightier creator from whence they came. The answer to this conundrum, my dear boys, girls, and others, is the Greeks.
As usual, the Greeks (and through them, the thieving warlords we call, "Romans") were right. The evidence and its inherent logic, at least, suggests they were correct in their assumption that everything in existence started as Chaos.
Consider the nature of Chaos: chaos, by definition, follows no patterns and no laws, not those of physics, morality, federal government, states, provinces, religion, nor even those of time itself. Therefore, chaos would follow no timeline¹, and would also assume every form and no form all at once.
Of course, some may question the validity of this statement and demand proof for it, but remember that this is a theory only, and thus does not need to be proven. Demanding evidence is much more reasonable. Nevertheless, I will assume myself correct until someone conducts a proper, scientific study on the nature of chaos and finds evidence that disproves my hypothesis.²
Where were we? Oh yes: logically, one of these 'forms' must be one that has the characteristic of rules, and would be subject to those rules (there would be other forms as well, but these are irrelevant). This form would take no time at all (since time cannot exist in pure chaos) to become dominant, because it would immediately denature itself, a.k.a. the chaos and take on that shape until some external influence forced it to do otherwise.³
Some may argue that this theory does not mention the Flying Spaghetti Monster, but this is not necessarily so. I direct your attention to The Gospel Of The Flying Spaghetti Monster by Bobby Henderson, specifically pages 199-202. This passage, in case you don't have access to it or are simply too lazy to check, uses Kolmogorov complexity to provide proof and a greater understanding of His noodly goodness. It also illustrates how a creator complex enough to create life could have come from something as simple as a box of straight lines (or a box of, "simple carbohydrates", as some would say).
See what I did there?
I now propose my theorem: I propose that the origin-chaos-of-many-forms-all-at-once became a single form that followed certain rules, forcing itself to degenerate to a state of a rule-driven reality, and immediately created a box of spaghetti, along with some way to quickly increase the complexity of that spaghetti, giving us the FSM and, in turn, the world as we taste it now.
Unfortunately, if you count the rules of logical conjecture as rules, then chaos does not necessarily have to conform to this logic, and the entire theorem is null and void.
Of course, if chaos is unbound by the rules of logic, and we consider the previous sentence [the last sentence of the theory] to be based on logical conjecture (which, of course, involves the use of logic), then chaos would be unbound by the last sentence. This train of thought creates an infinite spiral of logical statements proving the previous statement false by way of said previous statement, and so on and so forth, and the only way to get out of this infinite loop is to follow a more illogical path, which I present to you presently.
Ahem:
"Once upon a non-time, Chaos decided that it dɑmn well felt like following the rules of logic."
If we assume that the chaos in question did NOT have feelings, the statement previous to this was illogical (a.k.a. not logical). We can therefore NOT apply the rule of, "chaos doesn't follow the rules of logic, so any logical statement about it is false" to it as we did with the other statements.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- ¹The immediately obvious counterargument is that Chaos counts as a creator, too. While this point is valid, chaos does not, as we have already concluded, follow a timeline. Since a 'before' phase is part of a timeline and necessary for there to have been a creator for the chaos, then we can conclude that if there IS no 'before' phase, then chaos cannot have had a creator. We already concluded that chaos follows no timeline, so there cannot have been a 'before' phase, as that would imply the existence of a timeline within the chaos. As such, chaos must have been point (0, 0, 0, 0) in the universe (that's x, y, z, and T coords for anyone who got confuzzled).
²This has become perfectly acceptable 'scientific' practice in Kansas schools.
³In response to an apparent confusion of ideas, this theory, while a theory involving chaos, has absolutely nothing to do with chaos theory.

There's a difference between Piratespeak and Nefyoospeak - it's quite profound really. I think you may have attempted the latter.
