:Soul of Society

Spore’s getting a lot of attention on the web and in the wider world. Neil Winton made clear its addictive nature and commented on its educational potential, and it’s being discussed on the Consolarium on Glow. Neil made the point that it could be said to deal both with evolution and ‘intelligent design’ models of life, and as with anything touching on these areas, it’s dividing opinions. There are Christian bloggers applauding it for its God-centred approach, but at the same time there are sites like Antispore calling for it to be boycotted for teaching children evolution.

 My friend Kenny, a filmmaker and editor, took himself off to a well-known Glasgow tourist attraction to film a response to Antispore – I found it entertaining, and I thought others might too.

edit: Thanks to Neil for pointing out that Antispore is, in fact, a Rickroll cover site (see comments). Don’t know whether to be proud or ashamed – heh. I’ll leave the link so you can investigate yourself. Nonetheless, watch Kenny’s video, because ’tis cool.
