11. The pastalogical argument.
1. God is too complex, orderly, adaptive, apparently purposeful, or beautiful to have occurred randomly or accidentally.
2. Therefore, God must have been created by an even more sentient, more intelligent, wiser, or more purposeful being.
3. The Flying Spaghetti Monster is that being.
4. Therefore, the FSM exists.

I await your conversion to Pastafarianism with my air-tight proof. After all, it's just as sound as yours.
