Claude Vorilhon who now calls himself “Rael” is the founder of the “Raelians,” a strange group based largely upon the supernatural claims made by its leader.
Rael seems to also have a supernatural appetite for publicity.
Press releases have become something of a religious ritual for the Raelians. They have engaged in often sensational behavior, which apparently is designed to attract attention. This has included and embassy to receive outer space visitors, a cross burning campaign and now it seems cloning claims.
When Rael created “Clonaid,” a company supposedly focused upon producing human clones, it was considered by many to be little more than a mail drop used as a fund-raising ploy.
But now it looks like this strange “cult” is about to produce what it says is the first “human clone,” reports the Canadian Press.
Scientists have dismissed the announced birth date as unlikely.
Certainly, whatever Rael/Vorilhon says must be taken with more than a little skepticism. The “cult” leader claims he once met little green space aliens that took him to another planet where he was introduced personally to Jesus.
Right.
And one Raelian told the Canadian press that “The Virgin Mary was impregnated by extraterrestrials.”
Uh huh.
This much is for sure, Rael’s devoted followers will believe anything he says. However, the rest of the world should objectively test and verify any claim made by this supposed space traveler or the company he funds. Rael has previously refused to provide proofto substantiate his cloning claims.
no comment untill now
