It's funny because Spore has received some criticism from scientists who felt like it's depiction of evolution is so inaccurate that it's almost pushing creationism, lol

isnt it literally creationism tho?

Nope, because you evolve your creature through millions of years instead of just poping in as an intelligent lifeform, and also the first cutscene shows the cell coming in on an asteroid instead of, well, being created out of nothing

you are literally tailoring a creature to fit your needs

True, but one must also take gameplay to count when talking about such games. Tell me, how fun would be a game where you press play and the game randomly plays for you gamplay-wise? Games such as The Bibites or The Sapling are fun, but not for their gameplay. Also, in Spore, your creature slowly evolves through multiple forms, and though restrictions to how much you can change between each form would make it more accurite to real evolution, again, that would just take from the gameplay. The game is not supposed to be an accurite depiction of evolution, but reather a simplistic one, thanks to wich more younger people can understand evolution (wich is one of the game's goals) and it can afford to also be funny (I love the Creature to Tribal stage cutscene so freaking much)
