.... inventors of evil things.... Romans 1:30
"Spore, a computer game released in September 2008, allows
players to replicate the evolution of a creature from a single-celled
organism to space-travelling civilization.
Designer Will Wright, best known for creating the Sims
series of games, claims that the game is a ‘philosophical toy’ intended
to change the way people think, and cites
science fiction, SETI, and ‘astrobiology’ as sources of inspiration for
the game, and admitted certain aspects of the game are ‘very Darwinian’.
In a New York Times article, scientists praised the game for
getting 
evolutionary ideas across, but criticized the simplistic and in
some cases misguided way that evolution is
presented.
For one thing, players can ‘intelligently design’ their
creatures to some extent.
However, Dr Thomas Near hopes that the game will cause people to
accept evolution: ‘This may be totally off about how evolution works,
but I’d much rather be dealing with a
student who says, “O.K., I have no problem with evolution; I think about
it the same way I think about gravity.”
*He is not the first
to condone deceiving students as long as they end up accepting the
evolutionary worldview." CMI
