 Anyone else read about these raelian dudes that claim to  have cloned the first ever human? I don't know if that's  true or not but I really dig their ideology. 
 
  They claim that aliens came down and reproduced with us to  advance our evolutionary cycle. It explains that missing  link theory and makes a lot more sense than any other  religion I've heard of.
 
  I'm a raelian now.

there is overwhelming scietific evidence supporting  evolution... yeah, there are some gaps, but, to my knowledge  there is no theory that is nearly as strong.  Aliens seeded  the human race 25,000 years ago???  I'm pretty sure there is  evidence of intelligent civilizations that are older than  25,000 years.
 
  Plus,  They go out of their way to get as much publicity as  possible, but, then offer no evidence to support their  claims at all.  They claim that they are protecting the  parties involved from legal and other types of persecution,  but, if that was really true we wouldn't have heard about  any of this shit.

it also reiterates the question, who created the creator?  its proposed that we were made here cos cloning was outlawed  on the elohims own planet.
 
  questions! its an interesting tangent, if you dont find it  to be an offensive one, that is.

The only reason Raël started this sect is that he wanted to  buy expensive sport cars and create the RAËL RACING TEAM !

  By the way, I forgot, what is Raël real name ?

well, their beliefs are based on an experience that rael had  (in the 70s?).  i don't know the specifics but he was either  brought on board an alien ship or just communicateed with  them here on earth and they told him of this alien decent  theory.  now, it's not conclusive, but there is much  evidence that the aliens that have been abducting people are  psychological/spiritual beings and the abductions are not  explicit external physical experiences but are "internal."   dr. richard strauss (a friend of a friend) releases a book  detailing his study of the psychedelic DMT molecule that is  found in the human body.  one strong theory is that it is  produced in the pineal gland, the "third eye" lying at the  center of your brain.  countless experiements with fairly  heroic doses of DMT both legal/professional (under the  authority of dr. strauss) and illegal/amature have revealed  incredible experiences that involve contact and interaction  (sometimes very intense and intimate) with alien presences.   the resemblance between many DMT trip reports and many  abduction reports are undeniably profound.

Aliens this and aliens that.
  WE ARE ALL ALIENS!
  This is true because we are made of stuff that comes from  space. Just like aliens. We seeded ourself. Where's my  DMT-bag, it's tea time!
 
  For real, I heard that spores of the so called magic  mushrooms can stand both extreme heat and cold and is found  high up in the atmosphere and that one teory is that when  you trip on them, the things you see are actually telepatic  contact with extra-terrestrial beings.

aye the idea of us being made from stuff which comes from  space has scientific backing
 
  take the sun for example. it doesnt prouduce anything  heavier than iron, however theres a lot heavier matter to be  found on earth
 
  this points toward the possibilty of some cosmic event  resulting in the formation of the planets -> galaxies etc
 
  the fact that such heavier metals can be found in our own  bloodstreams leads us to the rather cool saying, 'we are  made of stars'
 
  or in other words, we are intrinsically related to the  universe beyond our own immediate system :)

how about the theory that the spores of the magic mushrroms  themselves, being able to withstand extremes, are alien  intellegences that came from another planet?  :)  the spore  shell is among the toughest biomaterial known.

now were talking jupitah
  and this is not just something that rael goes on about
  its a form of buddhist philosophy, and something which makes  an awful lot of sense to me.
 
  when i 'raise the screen and see the world', drop my  illusions, ill finally make it 100% as a person
 
  tantalising isnt it? im so close to being that way. the  'stupidest' things get in my way tho.

  its a goal.
  all stems from my worries (which are reasonably heavy shitz,  not as 'stupid' as ill make out)
 
  so i still have escapist urges. go out, drink some, chat up  girls. sound familiar? :]
 
  damn its a tough call. a mate of mine, hes real smart, and  is like me in this way of thinking. he rekns if he can just  keep escaping the concerns till hes gone, itll all be ok,  good times will be had
 
  in my heart tho i know im gonna have to face the heavy shit  soon. and i also know that when i do, ill be rewarded. 
 
  its gonna take a hell of a lot of balls. but theres nothing  worse than living in doubt. dont i know that too well.

to face the heavy shit you're going to need a lot of heart,  some bone marrow and nerve endings.  balls may come in handy  too.
 
  i don't know that you have to give up your attraction to  women in order to achieve the state of being that you want  though.  and a drink doesn't have to be an escape :)

Bunch of nutters if you ask me.
  Same goes for any religion really (raelly?), its another  excuse to bomb countries into oblivion.
 
  Oh, and if they've produced the first cloned child, I'll eat  my hat (and you can hold me to that)

i know it's quite possble that the raelians did not  successfully clone a child, but it is far from impossible so  i don't know why you're so certain.  all the scientists are  so arogant, "they don't have any scientific record, no  published papers, there's no way they could do it!"  with  the right determination, like the kind fuled by religion,  things can be done that you would not imagine.

As I said, if they HAVE cloned not just one, but 2 babies,  with more on the way, I'll eat my hat.
 
  This is an example of the people we are dealing with...
  "In 1990, the Raelians changed their symbol, originally a  Swastika inside a Star of David. . ."

what does a symbol change mean?  i don't think the idea of  alien decent is any further out than the idea that god  impregnated mary who then gave birth to god's son who is  also god himself made flesh.  i think it's silly to think  that you know something just by reading into these people.   the fact is we may never know now.

lots of scientists all over the world have offered to do  unbiased dna-testing.
 
  still they refuse.
  there was the leader of the dutch division of the Raelians  on tv a few nights ago and he said they don't even really  want to prove the existance of the cloned babies.

whether to test the cloned baby or not?
  doesnt seem to me that ethics are up to date with the new  technology
 
  that is something i find intriguing.

In all seriousness, I think that it is time that scientists  stopped thinking about what can be done and instead start  thinking more about what should be done.

thats not what science is about.
  thats where philosophy and more specific, ethics come in.
  I'm not saying scientists should just do everything they  think is interesting, but in principal its not their first  priority.
