[MD] Flying Spaghetti Monsters

[Micah]

Gene,

So if I can't disprove a hypothesis, it becomes a theory? Is Santa Clause a
scientific theory? You can't disprove Santa. Do you know how a hypothesis
becomes a theory? How a theory becomes a law? Disproof is not in the
equation.

Succint. I like that.

Ideas are. All ideas are essentially hypothesis, true until proven false.
And all hypothesis need to be falsifiable. It is our duty as Good thinkers
to attempt to destroy our own ideas. We Must come up with hypothertical
situations in which our ideas start to break down, or that cause them
difficulties and then see how they hold up under them.

If your ideas aren't fit for fiction, how can I accept them to deal with
Reality?
