Answer 1

Raëlism is a naturalist[1] UFO religion promoted by the Raëlian Movement, which was founded by former auto racing journalist Claude Vorhilon. 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, as predicted by the main religions.[2]

In December 26, 2002, Brigitte Boisselier, a Raëlian 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 achieving 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 an intelligently governed paradise which they believe will be created on Earth after the technological singularity[3][4] and the coming of Elohim as well as the prophets of the main religions.

Answer 3

Well, if you ever wanted to rile the Intelligent Design people, put aliens on equal footing with their deity.

Although frankly I'd believe in super intelligent aliens who messed with our uneducated tribal heads before I'd believe in a deity.
