$250,000 Intelligent Design Contest

Earlier Xeni posted that BoingBoing is willing to pay any individual *$250,000 if they can produce empirical evidence which proves that Jesus is not the son of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I told her that was amazing and that I'd meet that as well. Apparently I wasn't the only one to make that offer and the pot is now up to *$750,000. If we can get someone else to offer up another *$250,000 that will be a cool million. This is some high stakes philosophizing.

* Prize to be awarded with Intelligently Designed currency; void where prohibited by logic.

If you don't invite Flying Spaghetti Monster into your heart and become born again, then you will burn in hell-fire for all eternity. -- The Bible.

I accept the challenge. It's going to be an Inspector Gadget weekend.

I have decided to add another 250,000 USD to the Intelligent Design Contest prize money making it to a "cool million".

Now lets see who takes up the offer :)

Oh Crap. Bill and Melinda Gates are funding the Discovery Institute's efforts to push Intelligent Design.

see the second page -

Makes perfect sense. Gates used science and technology to make his billions. Now he's destroying science to kill all future competition.

I for one would have taken the "ho's 'n' blow" for a prize.
