What are the forms of salvation within the religion? The Raelians think that advanced supercomputers of the Elohim are right now recording the memories and DNA of human beings. When Elohim release this information for the coming resurrection, people would be brought back from the dead and the judgments upon them would be realized based on actions in their past life. People excluded from physical recreation would include those who achieved nothing positive but were not evil. When Raelians have cloned a human, it is for them a step toward eternal life. Raëlians do not believe in God, the soul, or salvation. However, Raelians do believe in an afterlife, they often pursue cloning a lot more. By doing this, they allow immortality through scientific breakthroughs. They also believe that the Elohim will occasionally clone exceptional human beings who live on another planet with the Elohim. It should be noted that Raelian actually claims to have successfully cloned a human being. They believe that the universe is infinite and therefore, we can’t imagine where our souls would go with us or not. They believe that the Elohim are using supercomputers as we speak and recording memories and the DNA of humans. This information will be released during the resurrection and used as judgment. Since Raëlians do not believe in reincarnation as suggested by mystical writings because Raelians do not believe that anyone can have an ethereal soul that exists free of one's own physical confinement. Instead, Raëlians think that advanced supercomputers of the Elohim are right now recording the memories and DNA of human beings as mentioned earlier. When Elohim release this information for the coming resurrection, people would be brought back from the dead and then the judgments upon them would be realized, and based on the actions of their past life. People excluded from physical recreation would include those who achieved nothing positive but were not evil, neutral nobodies. It was interesting that the Raelians had even wanted to express an interest in cloning Hitler at one point for his war trials and retroactive punishment. Raëlins also mentioned cloning as the solution to terrorism by suicide attacks as the perpetrators would not be able to escape punishment by killing themselves if the Elohim recreated them after their attacks. The Raëlians even have a baptism that they call the transmission of the cellular plan where "cellular" refers to the organic cells of the body and the "plan" refers to the genetic makeup of the individual. This Raëlian baptism involves a guide member laying water onto the forehead of the new member. This Raelian practice began on "the first Sunday in April" of 1976 when Raëlians baptized 40 Raëlians. They had the belief that their genetic information was recorded by a remote computer and would become recognized during their final hour of life when they will be judged by the extraterrestrial Elohim.
How does religion address the problem of evil? As far as Raelian’s combating evil, there is not very much on this particular topic. They do say that cloning combats terrorism and suicide. They believe that humans could create life on other planets if humans are peaceful enough to stop a war. But the Raëlian Movement emphasizes the need to interpret the Bible to resolve any “distortions” to the truth that have occurred over time. By replacing supernatural forces with scientific and technological realities, the conflict between the Bible and science in narratives such as the day-by-day narrative of creation may be resolved. This would help to resolve, almost to the date, this problem. The vast variety found across the earth in vegetation, animals, and humans is explained by the Eloha: different teams of Elohim scientists and artists worked in different parts of the world. The Raëlian Movement’s scientific representation of apparent contradictions or problems found in Genesis both resolves these contradictions and emphasizes science’s elevated position as the true sacred knowledge of the higher power. Furthering this idea, the Raëlian Movement’s website advertises the Movement as “intelligent design for atheists.” Here the term “intelligent design,” which is typically employed by those who make a case for a literal reading of the Judeo-Christian Bible, has been utilized for a seemingly opposing purpose. The general Judeo-Christian concept of intelligent design “holds that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection and call for seventeen literal reading of the supernatural narratives described in the Bible. Also, have the idea of creating life on another planet and goes for the topless women's rights.
