C'est une lettre envoyée en 2005 par Bobby Henderson, un diplômé en physique de l’université d’État de l’Oregon, suite à la décision du comité d'éducation de Kansas School d’intégrer des dessins basées sur le créationnisme d’être enseignés dans
les cours de science au même titre que la théorie de l’évolution.

I am writing you with much concern after having read of your hearing to decide whether the alternative theory of Intelligent Design should be taught along with the theory of Evolution. I think we can all agree that it is important for students to hear multiple viewpoints so they can choose for themselves the theory that makes the most sense to them. I am concerned, however, that students will only hear one theory of Intelligent Design.
I am writing you with much concern after having read of your hearing to decide whether the alternative theory of Intelligent Design should be taught along with the theory of Evolution. I think we can all agree that it is important for students to hear multiple viewpoints so they can choose for themselves the theory that makes the most sense to them. I am concerned, however, that students will only hear one theory of Intelligent Design.
Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent
Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief
that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. It was He
who created all that we see and all that we feel. We feel strongly that
the overwhelming scientific evidence pointing towards evolutionary
processes is nothing but a coincidence, put in place by Him.
It is for this reason that I’m writing you today, to formally request
that this alternative theory be taught in your schools, along with the
other two theories. In fact, I will go so far as to say, if you do not
agree to do this, we will be forced to proceed with legal action. I’m
sure you see where we are coming from. If the Intelligent Design theory
is not based on faith, but instead another scientific theory, as is
claimed, then you must also allow our theory to be taught, as it is also
based on science, not on faith.
