http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_cosmology#Raelian_Cosmology<br /><br /><font color="yellow">The International Raelian Movement (IRM), a growing quasi-religious organization, also has its own version of cosmology (proposed in 1973). This cosmology is similar to the Jain cosmology in that it proposes that the observable universe has no creator and is infinite in time and finite in size and surrounded by infinite space. One particular difference between Jain cosmology and Raelian cosmology is that Raelian cosmology puts our observable universe within a context of a greater universe that has a fractal structure. IRM's founder, Claude Vorilhon, who later became known as Rael (Raël means "messenger"), wrote several books which favor the idea that the universe is fractal in nature with the property of self-similarity. In such a fractal, there is no smallest or largest object. Instead, our observable universe is said to constitute a subatomic particle of an atom of a much larger level of lifeform. It is also stated in Rael's books that subatomic particles in our body also possess universes like our own, but on a much smaller scale, and that on each level of life, there are atoms, molecules, people, stars, galaxies, and clouds of galaxies. The author of these messages says that human beings from an extrasolar planet created Earth's human beings in their image, and futhermore, the author says that these beings, who resemble us in many ways, were able to prove to members of their planet that the universe is fractal.<br /><br />The idea is similar to that of multiverses that propose that the contents of our observable universe were generated by a greater cause. However, cosmology described in the Raelian messages, founded in 1973, does not branch from the recent cosmological theories of multiverses such as the Ekpyrotic Universe or M-theory.
