If you need proof that numbers can be twisted to represent absolutely anything, then Will Wright has you covered. His basic argument goes like this: In the span of 18 days,
Spore Creature Creator users were able to top 1,589,000 species in about 18 days, a feat that took God 7 days to accomplish. So, by his math, users of
Spore at operating at 38 percent of God's capacity, or .38G. A closer look at his math is right after the break.
The blaspheme-o-rama continued as Wright said he suspected that by
Spore's official launch users will be at 1,589,000 species a week or 1G. Which left us wondering ... just how long would it have taken God to make
Spore?

Except that God or Gods(Depending on your religion or none if you are an effing non-believer scientologist)desings aren't all penis like creatures.
I think only 1,000 of Spore creatures aren't based on penises and they aren't very good either.
mr nimblewick @ Jul 14th 2008 10:21PM
How do you know that God's penis isn't shaped like a human?
Mr.ESC @ Jul 14th 2008 10:29PM
Then God is a Boss from Cho Anki?
Well it could also be a Flying Spaghetti monster for all that we know.
B @ Jul 14th 2008 10:44PM
Everyone that doesn't believe in god is a scientologist?

Yes I'm a Sith and I only believe in Absolutes.
*facepalm.
You are supposed to laugh.
Veko @ Jul 16th 2008 12:19PM
I agree with B. You're an idiot, Mr. Esc. As an atheist myself, I can assure you I'm not a scientologist. Just because you don't believe in Jesus doesn't mean you do believe in Tom Cruise.

---Wow. I'm an atheist and I can't believe that EA let him use that graphic. Is he basing this off total number of species on the planet?
Mr.ESC @ Jul 14th 2008 9:25PM
At least 150 or more to see!
Gotta catch'em all.
I want to be the best that ever was,beating the rest that's my cause.

Mr. Esc, as someone who believes in biology I am OFFENDED that you would imply that anyone who is not a religious fundamentalist believes that Pokemon are real. OFFENDED SIR. TAKE YOUR "JOKES" AND YOUR "SENSE OF HUMOR SOMEWHERE ELSE SIR".
Lone Starr @ Jul 14th 2008 9:22PM
Cue religious flamewar.
tommy @ Jul 14th 2008 9:24PM
lol i agree this is going to get very bad very fast

I'll start it off for the atheists:
"The only difference is that Spore fans are real! Hardy fracking har har!"
Sihylm @ Jul 14th 2008 9:23PM
What happens if we do it in less than 7 days?
Do we become better than God?
Autopsy15 @ Jul 14th 2008 9:29PM
No, you turn into a pillar of salt.
Mr.ESC @ Jul 14th 2008 9:30PM
I'm curious about how a world of Penis like creatures would be like.
Guy1-Damn it a penisfly just stung me
guy2-With his dick
guy1-No it was with its dick. Of course with it’s dick.
Boy-Oh look mom that penis lion is eating that other lion
Mother-No,what they are doing is...Well I'm not sure what they are doing they have penises everywhere.
Grey Acumen @ Jul 14th 2008 11:37PM

Rauten @ Jul 14th 2008 9:25PM
Holy effing sweet blasphemous hell. They just secured another purchase, yessire.
orangesrhyme @ Jul 14th 2008 9:26PM
I'm pretty sure all of the days but 2 were used on plant/animal creation (if you count humans).
Bryan @ Jul 14th 2008 9:29PM
Dammit. Only .07G.
Aaron @ Jul 14th 2008 9:34PM
Yup. One of the livebloggers should bring that up.
Bucket @ Jul 15th 2008 10:51AM
I was about to say this. God created the entire universe in 6 days; earth species was only a fraction of that.
ChooChooCharlie @ Jul 14th 2008 9:30PM
Wouldn't it be great if he was electrocuted right then?
"He did a Jesus joke and he was electrocuted. It was the best show I've ever seen! And it really helped my faith."
Koopaknight29 - (Nintendo Loyalist) @ Jul 14th 2008 9:33PM
If this is blasphemy, then I never want to stop burning...
But seriously, that's quite a lot of species for Spore. I can't wait for the full game and take the creator for a spin.
P.S. Roman Catholic w/sense of humor. Rare, I know.
(Oh, and I'm finally back from hiatus, not that anyone cares, heh.)
Mr.ESC @ Jul 14th 2008 9:59PM
THIS IS SPAR...Oh wait you didn't say madness,oh "Well".
Koopaknight29 - (Nintendo Loyalist) @ Jul 15th 2008 7:40AM
Wright: My species shall blot out the sun!
Gamers: Then we shall blog in the shade!
kenvsryu @ Jul 14th 2008 9:35PM
Yeah, well technically God made all the creatures of the earth and sea the 4th and 5th day. So using Wright's calculations, they're really only at .11G.
Obie @ Jul 14th 2008 10:32PM
Technically there is no God, so epic win for non-believers!
Fargmot @ Jul 14th 2008 9:41PM
Yeah, read the Bible noobs. God made all land creatures in one day, not 7. Owned retards.
Phantom @ Jul 14th 2008 9:57PM
ROFLMAO
Mr.ESC @ Jul 14th 2008 10:02PM
Bible noobs?
Now that's a good one.
Ignatius @ Jul 14th 2008 10:51PM
Because everyone here's a Bible thumper, amirite?
bill51 @ Jul 14th 2008 11:21PM
I would be an owned retard if I thought all life on earth was created in one day. Good point.
mcatrage @ Jul 14th 2008 9:44PM
Developer of a game based on evolution quoting creationism. Irony?
Lianne @ Jul 14th 2008 9:51PM
LOL that's too funny. :P
Lorben @ Jul 14th 2008 9:56PM
You're assuming you know what God's penis looks like. We might be all shaped like his penis as some giant cosmic joke.
We are made in his image, but he didn't specify which part of his image.
Phantom @ Jul 14th 2008 9:58PM

I don't want to start any blasphemous rumors, but I think Will Wright is loco.
ae @ Jul 14th 2008 10:34PM
kudos for dm reference and ma name
Ridgecity @ Jul 14th 2008 10:25PM
The Beatles said something similar a while ago, and people pulled out their torches at the airport...
Me @ Jul 14th 2008 10:34PM
That makes you wonder: What if we're all just creatures made by some alien using a highly advance version of spore?
Mr.ESC @ Jul 14th 2008 10:37PM
Then that alien either sucks at the game or is one of those guys that like to put their sims on fire.
fred @ Jul 14th 2008 11:41PM
dude our alien creators are DICKS
Toasty @ Jul 15th 2008 12:02AM
This only checks out if you're a strict creationist. Nice try, Will, but you theologically ph4il.
ogvor @ Jul 15th 2008 12:04AM
Hilarious post! Will Wright is awesome!
