The Raelian Movement

As far as I know, the Raelian Movement is the only religion that demystifies everything around us. Everything has a rational explanation. For those who never heard of the Raelian Movement here's a brief explanation: All life was created by scientists from another planet, including us. The universe is infinite in time and space. Rael, the last prophet, was given the responsibility by the Elohim (term used by Raelians for those scientists from another planet) to spread the final message to all humanity. To learn more, go to http://www.rael.org and download a free e-book starting with "Intelligent Design: Message from the Designers".

Great. Now just explain where these scientists came from and you'll have me convinced.

Re: The Raelian Movement

So saying god made some scientists, who then made us, demystifies everything? OK, I'm convinced.

By the way, where did god come from? If we can't exsist without a creator (god) how can he?

I wonder if raelian1 will ever be back.

From the FAQ section of the Raelian Movement web site

Q. Who Created the Elohim?

A. If we believed in God, we might ask "Who created God". If we believed in evolution and the "Big Bang" we might ask "where did this matter and energy come from that created the big-bang?". For the Elohim, it is the same - they were created by people coming from the sky as were their creators. It's an infinite cycle of life. One day scientists from earth will also go to another planet and populate it.

This and many more questions can be answered from http://www.rael.org by reading the summary, checking out the FAQ section and downloading the free e-book "Intelligent design: Message from the Designers".

Actually, Elohim is a hebrew word in the Bible that means "those that came from the sky" but was mistranslated as God. The IM at the end is actually a plural.

Although I have little but contempt for Raelians, this sounds no more far-fetched to me than the Book of Genesis
(and the entire old Testament for that matter)

Re: The Raelian Movement

So, should I bring Kool-Aid?

White Nikes or some sort of sandal -- is there a preference?

While certainly possible, this circular argument does not answer the question posed, nor does it give an explanation for where the original, first scientists came from.

You shouldn't come to a battle of wits unarmed.
