I’ve got another post brewing on the game Spore itself, but today brings you a creationist site dedicated to declaring Spore to be against God and pro-evolution:

Yesterday I found out about a new game called Spore when my son asked me to buy it for him. It looked innocent enough at first and has “E for Everyone” ESRB rating. But don’t be mislead, apparently “everyone” means everyone they want to teach evolution to.

This entire game is propaganda aimed directly at our children to teach them evolution instead of creationism, or “intelligent design”

…

I decided that Electronic Arts needs to hear from concerned people such as myself that this sort of game is not acceptable, and created this blog to find support and share information and progress with anyone who feels the same as I do.

Wait! I can hear you saying. How is that site supposed to fit in with your Full of Fun Fridays? That doesn’t sound like fun at all! My answer is to say just keep reading…

Over at Game Politics, they were suspicious about the site, and said it may be a hoax. Turns out they were right! From the most recent entry yesterday, the author starts out with a long diatribe on her religious views:

I think part of the problem that is going on here is that the bulk of you are ignorant as to the word of God. I don’t have these beliefs just because I want to, I have them because they are the beliefs that I was raised in. I understand that everyone didn’t have the chance to be taught these things, and learn about God as my family did so if I am going to have this kind of attention I should use it to help teach others about the words of God that helped to shape me into the woman I am today.

Then she begins quoting Genesis:

But the Bible teaches us that God was not done with man. For we were His creation and He then spoke to Noah in Genesis 8:21-27 after the flood.
“21. The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never gonna give you up. 22. “Never gonna let you down.” 23.”Never gonna run around and desert you.” 24. “Never gonna make you cry.” 25. “Never gonna say goodbye.” 26. “Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.” 27.”Never truly believe anything you read on the Internet. There will always be cases of Poe’s Law.”

Oh. Your. God. It was all a Rickroll!!!! That was genius. And so many people fell for it (with a lot who just didn’t get the joke). Note that the Wiki has already been updated, too. I’m still laughing!
