    Employment of a bit of logic will answer your questions, Dale.

    Now, we know that creation was a process of transforming from the
    simple to the complex. And we know that spaghetti, from it's simple
    arrangement in the box, proceeds to a complex pattern when cooked, and
    even more so after adding tomato sauce. We know, therefore, that only
    the FSM possesses the qualities necessary to have created the universe.

    Hahahahahaha, you are so naughty Ted.  My wife makes a nice spaghetti.

    yes, I have heard of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) and the book

    what created the FSM? FSM is no answer to the first cause argument ...

    the last effect is the first cause makes most sense to me

    Don't expect many great thinkers in alt.atheism, they prefer the keep it
    simple stupid (KISS) principle with emphasis on the stupid. :-).

    My friend's mother used to start the spaghetti sauce for Sunday lunch
    Saturday morning and boil and boil and boil and boil the sauce for what
    seemed all day and into the night.

    Yet when she had spaghetti she just had it with butter. As I remember
    your manhood depended on how much you could eat; a little tongue in
    cheek there, but nevertheless.
