the only dogma is the rejection of dogma
may you be touched by His Noodly Appendage!
the creation of the world by the flying spaghetti monster
in the beginning was the word and the word was
"ARRRGH"
5,000 years ago*, the invisible, undetectable, and inebriated Flying Spaghetti Monster created all that there is. After separating water from the heavens and making the land, featuring beer volcanos, the omniscient and hungover Flying Spaghetti Monster created a mountain, trees, and small humans.
The small humans were called midgits, and it is said they were very short because the Spaghetti Monster pushed them too much to the ground. (Indeed, gravity is really FSM pushing us down in his invisible way with His noodley appendages.)
The midgits lived happily in the Olive Garden of Eden for some time until the Flying Spaghetti Monster caused a global flood in a cooking accident. Due to the increasingly whiney and bad attitude of the little people, FSM banished them to Antarctica and turned them into penguins. Pirates then became the chosen people.

*Many reasonable people question the idea that the world is only 5,000 years old. What they don't realize is that when the Flying Spaghetti Monster created the world, he also created the dinosaur bones, the troglodyte fossils, the gill slits/tails in gestating humans, the mid-Atlantic ridge, and all the other stuff that is offered up as "proof" that the earth is 4 or 5 billion years old. It isn't. FSM planted that stuff.
