Yup. It was humorous and absurd but the point was it shouldn't really be considered any more humorous and absurd than any other religion because in reality, it isn't...so if they're going to teach creationism like you said - they'd have just as equally valid (or rather, invalid) reasons to teach pastafarianism too.
