Raëlism is a naturalist<1> UFO religion promoted by the Raëlian Movement, which was founded by former auto racing journalist Claude Vorhilon. The origin of this belief system purportedly was completed on the date of the sixth encounter with an humanoid extraterrestrial, Yahweh Elohim, on December 18, 1973. Raëlians believe that the word Elohim, as said by primitive people of the past, refers to "those who came from the sky", or more accurately, humanoid extraterrestrials. Raëlism espouses belief that through mastery several sciences including solar astronomy, terraformation, nanotechnology, and genetic engineering, the Elohim were able to synthesize a novel ecological system with organisms adapted to the chemical and thermal make up of the Earth.
Followers, the Raëlians, believe in the rights of individualism, sexual self-determination, distributive economy, and accountability, claiming that this will be fostered by greater intelligences and will bring a new age of wealth and peace, or Golden Age, as predicted by the "main" religions.
In December 26, 2002, Brigitte Boisselier, a Raelian Bishop and CEO of a biotechnology company called Clonaid, announced the birth of baby Eve, a human clone, which at that point ignited much media attention, ethical debate, doubt, critics, and claims of a hoax. Spokespeople for the movement, such as Claude Vorhilon, have suggested that this is only first step in achiveing a more important agenda, saying that that "accelerated growth process" and mind transfer, in combination with cloning are mechanisms by which eternal life may be achieved. Raëlians believe that cloning will serve as the basis for a resurrection of the dead from previous human generations into a intelligently governed paradise which they believe will be created on Earth after the technological singularity<2><3> and the coming of Elohim as well as the prophets of the main religions.
