Intelligent Design

The widely accepted scientific explanation for the origins of life on Earth is the theory of abiogenesis, which suggests that life emerged from simple organic compounds through a series of natural chemical processes.

The idea that extraterrestrial beings created life on Earth is certainly a departure from traditional scientific and also religious explanations.

While it would be generally considered to be fringe belief or even pseudoscience, Raëlism’s concept of Intelligent Design raises thought-provoking questions about what constitutes life and intelligence, and the role these factors play in the development of species.
