However, I believe that this may not be the correct history of the "flying spaghetti monster" (FSM). I believe the FSM was originally offered as a counter-example against the epistemology of Alvin Plantinga (philosopher at the university of notre dahm) regarding his externalist epistemological view of proper functioning according to a design plan. I know that this was an offered counter-example, however, I am not positive that it was first. -Thanks -Paul Johnson Dear Dakota,

I've heard the Flying Spaghetti Monster term quite often but didn't know where it came from. This is a priceless argument re: the intelligent design theory. This is great!
