Elliott C. Back: In Aere Aedificare

FSM and Evolution

Posted in Politics, Science, Law by Elliott Back on August 22nd, 2005.

What does FSM mean to you? For some, it’s a finite state machine, for others, a flying spaghetti monster:

flying-spaghetti-monster

What is this flying spaghetti monster all about? Well, read the Wikipedia entry, for one. Basically, it revolves around the absurdity of the teach all positions rule that is entering into high school science curriculum by creating a new “religious” position which is equally probable as conservative christianity.

The truly unfortunate thing is that this is another argument based from a scientific view which unlikely to convince “the other side.” To convince Christian America that they’re wrong about “creation science” and “intelligent design” you would need to embrace their framework and sincerely show it internally inconsistent.

    I’m doing a research paper on low education. So I was just wondering do you know anything about it. If so please share because I think FSM and low education have some similiarity. Do you.

    If not so.

    Please replay anyway
    Thanks, KendraHorton
