Heh. You know the new Electronic Arts game SPORE, which has Creationists screeching "foul" because its digital creations - gasp! - evolve throughout the levels of the game?
Among the Customer Reviews for the game at Apple's iPhone/iPod App Store, someone named Lost in Iceland asks:
Will they offer a Creationist version that only has one level, already finished??

Ganesha thinks you would like these scrolls too.
It is not hardness of heart or evil passions that drive certain individuals to atheism, but rather a scrupulous intellectual honesty.

This game is awesome, haha I like the iceland quote
I went and bought SPORE Origins for iPhone. Nicelely done, and a harmless distraction. (Grrr, those missile-shooting centipede critters really mess me up!)
The evolution-vs-creation debates over SPORE seem way overblown too me - a case of reading way too much into a silly game. After all, SPORE Origins seems to me like any action game, but this time with a bio-inspired "skin"; change the skin to, say, an asteroid mining ship pursued by aliens while searching for "energy crystals", which are used to purchase tech upgrades... and you've got the same game, really.
But that's only Origins; the full SPORE game is clearly something more. I haven't played that, so will have to remain curious over whether it really delves into such important themes.
