@Young:
I spent some time with the Raelians who believe all life on earth including humans was created by extra terrestrials using genetic manipulation.
they claim…
-the garden of eden was a laboratory
-when they created man, they needed genetic DNA from that man to create a woman (Adams rib)
-one of the ETs unlawfully explained to Eve the secrets of their scientific creation (the snake and the apple)
-due to fear of their new knowledge, they banished Adam and Eve to be primitive in a hostile environment
-some ETs were genetically engineering monsters (dinosaurs) so they destroyed the earth with fire
-later they destroyed the earth with a flood, but not before they saved DNA samples of all spices on a space ship
-they abducted men, took them to their planet, showed them their science secrets, and returned them as prophets
-the burning bush that was not consumed by flames was a light from a space ship during the Jesus abduction
-Jonah was swallowed by a submarine like space ship (not a whale) where he stayed for X days learning science
-the resurrection of jesus was made possible by cloning, and eternal life can be rewarded in heaven (their planet)
As outrageous as it seems, why not consider the possibility if we can talk about a bearded man on a cloud, a horned devil with hooves, talking snakes, evil apples, elephants, rhinos, and giraffes on a wooden boat, or a magical life after death even if you physically explode into a billion pieces?
This is all nonesense, though the description of God landing on Mt Sinai is remarkably like a spaceship coming down.
Jesus did not die on the cross, he was drugged. Read the book.
