Anotations

Scope note:

An atheistic religion established in the 1970s by Claude Vorilhon, known as Raël, who is held by his followers to be a prophet along with Buddha, Mohammed, Moses, and Jesus Christ. Among its basic tenets are that life on Earth was created through genetic engineering by extra-terrestrials and that life may be continued after death through cloning, citing as proof an interpretation of certain scientific material, the Bible, and other religious texts.
