Raelian Movement

The Raelian Movement is a spiritual organization founded in 1974 by Claude Vorilhon, who claims to have had encounters with extraterrestrial beings called Elohim. They believe these aliens created life on Earth through advanced scientific means and that humans were designed as biological entities by these beings. The movement promotes scientific progress, world peace, and individual enlightenment, often emphasizing the importance of science and rationality. They also support the idea that humanity’s future includes space exploration and the potential for human immortality through technological means. Their teachings combine elements of science fiction, spirituality, and a belief in extraterrestrial influence on human origins.
