28th April





I want to take this oppurtunity to study the theory of Genesis most extreme album.
It is yes: "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway"

It is a story of a man named Rael who is walking down broadway, minding his own buisness
as suddenly, down an alley, forms a black cloud and a wall rises up and suckes in the biggest
part of Manhattan.
Entering this wall, Rael finds him self in a different world.

This world is something that we would call "Exogenesis".
Exogenesis is a belief saying life was put on earth a long time ago by extra terrestrials.
Rael faces all kinds of odd un-earthly creatures but yet simular to our speices.

Now here is what is so unteresting.
This album was released in 1974.
In that same year an UFO religion by the name of "Raëlian Movement" was founded,
(also known as "Raëlism")

Here follows an article from Wikipedia:

"Raëlians believe that Raël (Claude Vorilhon) received special knowledge and instruction for mankind from the creators of life on Earth, advanced extra terrestrials called Elohim.
Raëlians are cited as one of the largest and fastest growing
UFO religions and have worldwide representation.
Raëlians believe that previous contacts from Elohim have also been made and that they understand that they have been confused as Gods
but that they no longer wish for mankind to believe this way.

They would like to make themselves known to all mankind however desire an awakening to this knowledge to minimize disruption. Raëlians are charged with preparing the world for this event by spreading this message.
Raëlians accept the teachings that include acceptance of the universal ethic, and while the group is non-theistic, hedonistic, and supports human cloning, Raëlians believe that God exists only in the form of Elohim, our advanced extra-terrestrial creators."


So my question is?
Was the Lamb lies down on broadway Genesis biggest attempt to prove its beliefs in extra-terrestrials?
Didnt we get it the first time when Peter Gabriel dressed up as Elohim in "Watcher of the skies"?
Does Raelism and Genesis have anything in common?
Is it a co-incidence that both groups believe in exo-genesis?
