About us
Science Blog was started in August 2002. It lives, breathes and eats press releases from research organizations around the globe. Most of what you read here are press releases from the outfits named in the stories themselves. Got a news story you think belongs here?
Let's talk.
The other half of the equation is
blog posts from readers like you. So if you have an interest in science,

Hello,
thank you for your great comments.
To Fred:
You say:
"If you talk about the origin of life in general terms, not just Earth life, then there is no need for your "3rd possibility.""
That's exactly why I say that it is important to read the book for yourself and not rely on second hand opinions, even if it is wikipedia. I try to be brief: christianity was considered a "heretic dangerous cult" in the time of the romans. Same applies now to the Raelian Movement.
Truth is as follows: the people who created us scientifically in laboratory, a process discussed in the bible ("let's make men in our image..."), are called Elohim (meaning "Humans" in their own language"). This word was mistranslated as "God", the biggest mistranslation of all times. The bible is the oldest atheist book!
Now THIS is important: they themselves have been created by other beings (answer to Gkm by the way). They have NOT evolved by evolution or such. This is an eternal cylce in the infinite universe, where there is no beginning to and no end, like buddhist scriptures say for example. Being limited themselves (birth, death), humans tend to ask questions that contain limits, which is natural:)
To understand this whole thing, it could be helpful to understand the concept of infinity:
We say something exists if it complies to TWO conditions at the same time:
1) It is composed by something
2) It is part of something
It is then easy to extrapolate that each single subatomic particle in your skin cell of your nose contains infinite universes. Fact is that, infinity extends in all directions, not only to the big scale. Time flow velocity is proportional to the corresponding level. While at our scale one millisecond passes, at a lover scale millions of humanities are created and destroyed.
The main message the Raelian Movement brings is this one: Infinity and all it's implications.
Please consider reading the book to make up your OWN mind on this matter, not the one of wikipedia or the romans ;)
Love
Friend
