Raelians are many things, but I don't think logical is one that commonly gets thrown at them.
They are Atheistic Creationists. The believe that a race of kindly, near immortal genetic engineers built life on Earth.
You know Raelians have one advantage over most other ID believers is that when an evolutionist asks "What's with the mistakes?" they can just shrug and say: "Well, they did their best, everyone makes mistakes."
(Still doesn't explain why the aliens built life to look like it evolved).
Raelian theology suffers from the same type of infinite regress as panspermia... Even if aliens did indeed engineer life on this planet, the aliens themselves would still necessarily have to have originated via some natural form of evolution on their home planet.
It seems that you've unmasked my obvious charade... that if there were some scientific flaw in evolution science would have posited an alternative theory. I designated atheists so as to remove religious views from the equation. It's true that there are atheists who reject evolution. But they don't believe in anything that science can or does also corroborate. This thread isn't pointless, it's purpose is to show how strong of a theory Evolution is by showing off that there's nothing in science that competes.I'm sorry but this thread is meaningless. Someone can be an atheist and also not accept evolution. As far as what they might believe instead... there's probably as many answers to that question as there are non-evolutionist atheists.
Personally I don't care what this or that atheist believes about life on this planet. I only care about what is most probably true; and all the evidence shows that, as far as we know, all life on this planet diversified by sharing inherited traits passed down through flowering lines of descent.
I've done that quite clearly, even to the point of alienating some people against me.This thread isn't pointless, it's purpose is to show how strong of a theory Evolution is by showing off that there's nothing in science that competes.
Atheistic creation.Otherwise I don't really care how absurd it is.
Evolution will be alive and well ... right through the Tribulation period.
Catholic's are also post trib and plan to go through the tribulation period.(including the entire Catholic faith) are "theistic evolutionists".
The evidence they have collected will be around for 1000 years.Evolution will be alive and well ... right through the Tribulation period.
I can imagine Theistic Evolutionists getting a ride back in time ... compliments of the One reigning on the throne during the Millennial Reign ... and actually seeing God speak the universe into existence; and hanging their heads in shame at all the time they wasted because they thought it went down differently.The evidence they have collected will be around for 1000 years.
I have thought about that for a while now. Somehow getting a chance to look into the past. Perhaps though stored memory. God remembers, but I am talking about something naturalistic like the fossils.I can imagine Theistic Evolutionists getting a ride back in time ...
Couldn't you pray to God and ask him what's what?I have thought about that for a while now. Somehow getting a chance to look into the past. Perhaps though stored memory. God remembers, but I am talking about something naturalistic like the fossils.

Because we were told to beware of doing that.Why would you suggest it shameful to accept that things are as they appear?
You were told to not accept reality? Weird religion you believe in.Because we were told to beware of doing that.
Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
In the case of evolution, it leads to blasphemy ... in my opinion.
For example, God created us in His image & likeness; but evolution says we are mutant copy-errors, made in the image & likeness of God, after the DNA of [whatever].*
* I say "whatever," because if you ask 10 different Internet scientists, you'll get about 4 different answers: chimps, monkeys, apes, bonobos.
I don't accept your reality in toto ... just like you don't accept ours.You were told to not accept reality? Weird religion you believe in.
