LONDON (Reuters) - Italians are known for them and theories suggest they may have originated in the Middle East but scientists said Wednesday the world's oldest known noodles, dating back 4,000 years, were made in China.
Houyuan Lu, of the Chinese Academy of Science in Beijing and his colleagues found the ancient noodles preserved in an overturned, sealed bowl at an archaeological site near the Yellow River in northwestern China.
"Our discovery indicates that noodles were first produced in China about 4,000 years ago," Lu said in an interview.
Until the discovery, reported in the science journal Nature, the oldest written account of noodles was in a book written during the East Han Dynasty in China sometime between 25 and 220.
But there have been other suggestions that noodles were first made in the Middle East and introduced to Italy by the Arabs during the Middle Ages.
"This is the earliest empirical evidence of noodles ever found," said Lu.
...
Ah empirical evidence. The eternal bane of the oligophrenichristians.
So lets look at the score:
Proof of a Biblical Creation Cartoon Story (either one) 6,000 years ago: Zero.
Proof of a Great Deluge that eliminated all life on Earth: Zero.
Proof of antediluvian human life spans that ran for centuries: Zero.
Proof of the Earth being halted in its orbit to score a debating point: Zero.
Proof of any other miraculous assertion from raining frogs to virgin births to combusting, hectoring shrubs to bodily ascents to Heaven: Zero.
However, proof of pre-historic pasta? Bingo!
I’m not a convert to the church of the FSM yet, but with evidence of the existence of His Semolinaness mounting up on one side of the scale, and Jerry Falwell’s fat, loathsome ass on the other, the decision is getting easier.
Besides, the FSM communion ceremonies come with fresh pesto and lightly sautéed garlic and are, in a word, fabulous.

So, when I, like, eat a bowl of ramen, am taking communion or something?
Just curious.
Lime shrimp is best, by the way.
LOL - His Magnificent Noodliness is now in the fossil record! Take that, unbelievers! :-D
So I guess this means you're also ruling out intelligent design. Well, they tried by using the word "intelligent" but it didn't play well in any major city, as far as I know.
So what does intelligent design really mean? Are they saying that their god had a degree from an ivy league school or something like that? Or maybe their god is out of the picture now and they're worshiping some magical professor?
Intelligent Design, as one perspicacious professor in Kansas recently put it, is "creationism in a cheap tuxedo."
Now, I'm all for debate between two different factions and schools of thought, like Relativity v. String Theory, is homosexuality situational or inherent, & so forth.
But this Creationism/Intelligent Design v. Evolution... C'mon, guys, this shouldn't even be a debate and entering into such a debate immediately begins to subtract from the intelligence quotient of both sides.
Let Scoscia eat it!!!!!......MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Jp, I was allowing my pet snark to write that comment about ID. Personally I think the whole idea is insane.
Hey, it was a pretty morning and the snark wanted to come out of its cage and play with the keyboard.
Chautaugua,
Do NOT remain ignorant of the way of the Flying Spaghetti Monster! Consult the original prophet, Bobby Henderson. Then get your pirate regalia together and enjoy the flimsy moral standards!
