Touched By His Noodly Appendage

More on the Flying Spaghetti Monster from the Prophet Bobby Henderson:

GM: Do you feel that those who support Intelligent Design are merely copying your religion's theories or are their concerns legitimately similar to yours?

BH: There are a lot of similarities between ID and FSM, that is true. However, I think FSM does a better job of explaining what would motivate the creator to go to so much trouble to change our scientific results in order to make the universe appear older than it truly is. Tampering with our radioisotope measurements, geographic observations and, perhaps most impressive, placing individual photons enroute to earth, suitably redshifted, in an effort to mislead us is not only an act of an intelligent maker, but also an anarchistic, mischevious one. It is for this reason that we believe pirates must be His Chosen subjects, as their personality perfectly embodies the mischevious spirit of the FSM. Virtually no field of science goes untouched by His Noodly Appendage.

The Prophet's words can be read in their full glory here.
