There are fundamentilists (hope I spelt it correctly) in every religion.

Or maybe this guy is seeking attention. It is only a game after all.



 

 

 

 

this a joke site people, it's really just intended to get people worked up which is an easy task when discussing religion.

I think that a Nintendo fanboy created this site, because the game is casual but isn't on the Wii.



OMG! This is almost as good as Conservapedia the conservative answer to the "way too liberal Wikipedia".

Surprising the site decides to rip into Will Wright now? I'm confused since games like Sim Earth are clearly promoting evolution far better than Spore. In fact Spore is more closely feeding into the Christian skewed idea of evolution anyways. I would think they would like this game to discredit evolution theory.



Spore makes a joke out of the evolutionary theory, if anything.

Honestly, playing the game made me more skeptical of the theory of evolution. I'm the player, and I have to decide what body parts will help my animal survive, and it makes me wonder how an unconscious... entity... like nature itself... can make decisions like that. It seems far fetched.

Maybe you should read a bit more on the theory of evolution... nature doesn't decide anything :

The strongest members of a species survive in greater number because of x attribute so that attribute is more likely to be passed on to the next generations while the members with useless attribute y don't survive as well so with time this attribute disapears.

Nothing conscious makes the decisions in evolution. Basically, as mutations happen and as species evolve, those with weaker genes (IE traits, such as not being able to run as fast to catch food) either die or produce fewer offspring. The stronger members of the species pass their genes to the next generation, and the cycle repeats. In Spore they chose to use the Intelligent Design method to give the player more customizabiltiy.

 Survival of the fittest is absolutely incorrect. If there were a human who was born with a complete immunity to diseases but was sterile he would not help advance the species despite being the fittest. It is reproduction of the reproducers. It is more influenced by who can get the most pregnant than any other fator.
