Someone should propose an atheistic ID theory -- aliens seeded the earth or humans will discover time travel and will go back to start life.

Just to see heads explode on both sides of the debate. 8>)

The Raelians keep making noises that they're going to enter the fray in the schools with exactly that argument.

More power to them. I figure if I can handle my kids being exposed to environmentalism in their day-to-day life, I can handle just about anything they're exposed to.

Here's what I was looking for:

Scientific creation recognized officially
as a scientific theory for the origin of life

Raelian Theory about the creation of all life on earth by intelligent beings has long been dismissed as unscientific despite the great number of scientists who have joined the Raelian Movement after having carefully reviewed the other available theories.

This "Raelian Theory" is also gaining more and more interest in the scientific community as a similar theory is being developed called the "Intelligent Design theory", which hypothesizes that no new living entity can happen by chance.

On August 4th, 2004 an article by Dr. Stephen C. Meyer, Director of Discovery Institute's Center for Science & Culture appeared in a peer-reviewed biology journal published at the National Museum of Natural History at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C., the Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington (volume 117, no. 2, pp. 213-239).

In this article, entitled “The Origin of Biological Information and the Higher Taxonomic Categories”, Dr. Meyer argues that no current theory of evolution can account for the origin of the information necessary to build novel animal forms. He proposes intelligent design as an alternative explanation.

This article represents a major breakthrough as being published in a peer reviewed journal, it can be used as a reference and free the numerous scientists who were obligated to refer to evolution in explaining their discoveries.

Raelians are rejoicing over this event and will make sure that more articles are published in that domain so that biologists can look at living entities not as the result of random mutations but more as sophisticated creations in which every detail has been thought of and has a reason to exist.

"Biology will go so fast once biologists stop being blinded by the evolution theory and I am sure that in ten years from now scientists will look back and wonder why they accepted evolution for so long" said Dr. Boisselier, spokesperson of the Raelian Movement
