Fake news.

To be fair Plato said that earth and water elements want to go down in order to be near the other earth and water. That’s his explanation for the phenomena of gravity. Newton’s explanation is rather less intuitive and requires an understanding of orbital mechanics.

A courgette isn’t a culinary vegetable.

I might as well argue I have direct physical evidence that Bigfoot exists, because my friend Steve has big feet so he’s clearly a sasquatch.

The only hard part is getting the atheists to actually believe in the FSM. You might have to ask them to keep a prayer journal.

Here’s an idea science has yet to explore:

Bring in a bunch of atheists and give them a placebo painkiller that they know is a placebo. Then put their hands in ice water and record the pain response. Send the control group home, but ask the experimental group to believe as hard as they can in the Flying Spaghetti Monster for the next week. A week later, give everyone another placebo painkiller and another pain test. Hypothesis: intentional religiosity increases the strength of the placebo effect.

Faith might be like a muscle. And it might be possible to deliberately cultivate faith for beneficial purposes.

We interact with botanical vegetables every day. We don’t interact with culinary vegetables, because there’s no such thing.

Yep. And I think it’s a useless word. There’s no point calling plants vegetables when it comes to cooking.

No, although that’s also true. I’m saying celery isn’t a culinary vegetable, because there’s no such thing as culinary vegetables. Nothing is a culinary vegetable.

Strip your Ms from your wikipedia links before you share them please. Also this article is garbage. It doesn’t cite any sources for its core ideas. The only 4 references are descriptions of particular plants. There’s no citations in the introduction.

Here’s the wikipedia page for list of cryptids. This page is better cited and has more evidence for what it says than your page. Does that mean cryptids are real? No, cryptids are fictional just like culinary vegetables.

There’s no such thing as a culinary vegetable.
