	Raelians (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Raelians are connected to post-war era sightings such as Fry's because, according to the Official Homepage of the Raelian Religion, Rael claims he was chosen as a prophet of the Elohim partly because he was born the year after Hiroshima.
		In Raelianism, the belief in transmission of DNA is based on faith in the technologically advanced society of the Elohim.
		Although the Raelians claim the Swastika is one of the oldest symbols of infinity, it was abandoned as a symbol for the Raelian Religion in February of 1991 due to the bitter feelings it facilitated in the Jewish people because of its association with the Nazi holocaust.

		National members must give the Raelian church a financial contribution: the recommended amount is 3% of their income after payment of taxes but they remain in control of the choice of the amount.
		The Raelian worship includes some religious ceremonies: baptism, prayer, attempts of telepathic contact on Sunday at 11 o'clock, marriage, divorce, funerals (recommendation to give his/her body to science or to be incinerated, but after having removed a piece of their frontal bone to be stored until the arrival of the Elohim).

	The Watchman Expositor: Raelian Profile
		Since the "Raelians believe that the ancient Israelites had a special covenant with Earth's creator" and since they "believe that the destruction of the world is near," the Raelians also believe that "the state of Israel must grant Raelians land in Jerusalem on which to build an embassy to welcome the aliens" (Gazette, p.
		The Raelian Movement states that "All the great prophets, including Buddha, Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed were messengers of the extra-terrestrials" (section "The Messages of the Elohim: Book One - First half," at ).

		Besides her two degrees in chemistry, Boisselier is a bishop of the Raelian movement, which teaches that humans were created by extraterrestrials called Elohim.
		In the Raelians’ case, the person was Claude Vorilhon, known as The Prophet by his followers.
		Following the news in 1997 that a sheep had been cloned, the Raelians founded a company in the Bahamas to carry out their own cloning research, but the island nation canceled the permit.

	It's the Rael thing - smh.com.au
		Raelians believe - at least, they say they believe - in flying saucers, that mankind was created in an alien laboratory, and that a nuclear Armageddon will destroy the world by 2035, with only 144,000 true believers to be saved by being reconstructed (with their memory and personality intact) from their DNA.
		To this end, Raelians are supposed to give up to 11 per cent of their net income to the cult, and to gift their estates before death (to avoid challenges to the will) to local Raelian leaders.
		Aymonier, the Raelian Bishop of Oceania for the past decade, is a tall, handsome, well-built French engineer with nipple-length fl hair who appears on stage dressed in white and with the Raelian symbol dangling around his neck.

	Raelians
		The Raelians, who claim some 60,000 followers worldwide, believe life on Earth was established by extraterrestrials who arrived in flying saucers 25,000 years ago and produced the first humans through cloning as a result of their knowledge of DNA.
		The Raelian movement may or may not prove it produced the first cloned human, but the sect can already claim another distinction: It is virtually the only religious group that says this type of reproduction is a good idea.
		Raelian sect member Brigitte Boisselier, who heads Clonaid, said the second baby was born in northern Europe late Friday to a lesbian couple from the Netherlands.

	Raelians : Clone Ranger : The Rael World Comes to New York
		Boissellier is currently leading a three-person Raelian research team, including a geneticist, a biochemist, and a gynecologist, that has been experimenting with cattle cloning and "is making progress toward human cell cloning." She says five more scientists will be joining her lab this fall.
		Also, Rael [the Raelians' leader; see first sidebar] advises not having children until you're totally self-realized (and if you want to be cloned eventually, then you have to make the choice between the two forms of reproduction).
		And Raelianism is the first creation story to make sense to me." She says that an estimated 20 percent of the religion's membership comes from the scientific community.

		It looks like the Raelians' cloning claims, like their founder's revelatory 1973 encounter with extraterrestrials, will have to be taken on faith.
		Part of the Raelian mission is to emulate the Elohim by cloning themselves, thereby achieving "eternal life." Producing a baby through nuclear transfer -- the replacement of an ovum's genetic information with that of an adult donor -- is only the first step.
		That is why the Raelian scenario is abhorrent as well as implausible: The fact that someone else has the same genes as you does not give you a right to treat him as a means to an end, as a tool in your quest for immortality or an empty vessel for your consciousness.

	Human clone born: Raelians - theage.com.au
		As the effort by the Raelians to achieve the first human birth by cloning was carried out in the secrecy, it was not immediately possible to obtain any independent scientific confirmation that the baby was in fact a clone.
		The baby born Thursday was the first of five the Raelians have said were due.
		The Raelians, who claim 55,000 followers worldwide, believe that life on Earth was established by extra-terrestrials who arrived in flying saucers 25,000 years ago, and that humans themselves were created by cloning.

		A religious group who claims that human beings were cloned from aliens many millenniums ago, a spokesman for the Raelians said that they had traveled to South America's largest nation with the intent of establishing the world's first cloning center.
		Raelian representatives -- bedecked in their trademark, sci-fi ensemble -- said that the father of the cloned child discussed Monday would travel to Brazil this week to provide skeptics with substantial evidence that supports their claim to have successfully cloned a human being.

		The Raelians are a UFO cult that believe alien scientists created life on earth.
		I admit it was funny watching the Raelians capture the world's attention with an empty assertion of a successful human cloning procedure; however, it was the public's reaction to the cloning claim, or more specifically the reaction to the Raelians, I found especially enjoyable.
		The Raelian and Christian cults represent essentially identical "ways of knowing." Extraordinary claims are made, which are not able to be disproved.

		In France, the Raelians were among the principal targets of the anti-seven movement, but they reacted with firmness, obtaining even some considerable success in the courts.
		From a spiritual point of view, from a Catholic perspective, the Raelian doctrine reminds one of the "machine-man" of certain philosophers of the Enlightenment, and represents modernity in all that it has that is brutally anti-Catholic.
		Among the Raelians, there are individuals with scientific capacities, although not of a very high level, and there are also scientists who do not tolerate any ethical or legal limit to experimentation, who help them.

		The space-age religious group the Raelians, which claims alien parentage and, lately, to have cloned a human baby, is capitalizing on its recent fame to try to recruit new members in Seattle.
		The Raelians, who believe life on Earth was created by alien visitors in the distant past, shocked the world with their Dec. 27 declaration that members of the religious organization had successfully cloned a baby girl.
		Still, the Raelians may have a hard sell if even UFO and paranormal enthusiasts worry that the alien-origin-of-life group is a bit wacky.

		The Raelians' strong support ofhuman cloning, which is in agreement with their religious convictions, is opposed by other embers of society for ethical reasons.

	Rael (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		But dismissive as the reports were, the unknowing journalists were only assisting Rael, his Raelian Movement, and his aliens in ushering in the "Age of Apocalypse." Raelians take attention of any kind from the media as a sign that they are dutifully fulfilling their heaven-sent mission.
		The Raelians have two divinely-appointed aims: first, to "spread the message" (the glad tidings that humanity was created from the DNA of superior extraterrestrial alien scientists, or "Elohim"); and second, to "build the Embassy" (welcome Our Creators to earth in around 2035).
		Raelians were stigmatized by the French media as fascists, satanists, pedophiles, and even as anti-Semites (although Rael clearly states that Jews are more intelligent with superior DNA because they are a cross-breed of Elohim and mortal women).

	The Raelians and non falsifiability
		The Raelians radically reinterpret the Bible, God, Jesus, His message, and so many other things that once you are done listening to the Raelians interpretation, it has nothing to do with what the Bible originally said.
		But the Raelians simply tell us that light does not move at the same speed and all areas of the universe and that light takes about four light-years along a curved path but only about one light-year if traveled in a straight line.
		No matter what is said to the Raelians they simply reinterpret science, evidence, the Bible, and other ancient documents in such a way that they agree with their belief system.

		In the word according to Vorilhon, who goes by the name of Rael, the aliens gave him a special mission: to prepare humans for the second coming of their extraterrestrial creators by teaching a message of sexual freedom, sensual pleasure and love of science.
		"Raelians are seen by people here as harmless eccentrics, and viewed with a tongue-in-cheek tolerance," said Susan Palmer, a Montreal sociologist and college professor who studies new religions and has written two books about Raelism.
		In Raelism, she found a religion that rejects pure faith in favor of proven science, sees immortality as a natural outgrowth of genetic engineering and preaches sensual pleasure, not suffering, as the cornerstone of life on earth.

		The Raelians also plan marches - Sunday in Montreal and Oct. 12 in Quebec City - during which those who choose to renounce their Catholic faith will be invited to burn a cross "as a collective, pacifist gesture of protest" to make their apostasy official, the statement said.
		The Raelian Church of Canada is an officially recognized religion in Quebec.

		Soon, he promises, people will be able to make exact genetic copies of themselves, grow them instantaneously to the prime of life and then download all their accumulated memories and traits into the new bodies—the ideal solution for people who want to live forever but find Christianity so...
		But by the end of last week, Rael himself implied the testing might be abandoned out of concern for the unnamed family’s “privacy.” After a brief appearance at Boisselier’s press conference, Guillen disappeared from public view—and as of last Friday, associates said, he still hadn’t seen any cell samples.
		Raelian gatherings are sometimes conducted in the nude, says Palmer, and it is believed that the aliens want to see humans enjoying themselves.
