Nevertheless, the future he related has already begun!

Indeed, Rael’s original French text refers to discoveries that seem fresh off the pages of today’s most prestigious scientific journals. Yet there’s no disputing the fact that Rael wrote that text 35 years ago – when only a few science fiction writers were even mentioning such ideas. Rael wrote with confidence that the wonders he detailed would soon become reality – and the proof is now at hand!

Here are just a few of the seemingly improbable marvels he described over three decades ago that are now well on their way to becoming reality:

Biological robots composed of organic materials, which will one day be capable of reproducing themselves. Such machines, along with the ever-faster and more powerful computers that will handle all tasks now done by humans, will eliminate the need to work once and for all. Such robots and computers will provide the basic necessities of life – and much more – for every person on the planet. People will then be able to lead lives of fulfillment rather than lives of drudgery.

Human clones – genetic duplicates of our young adult selves – to which we will be able to transfer the accumulated memories of our lifetimes, thereby bypassing the infirmities of old age and eventually allowing us to achieve immortality. “Dolly,” a sheep, was successfully cloned in 1997, and where a sheep had led, humans couldn’t be far behind. The possibility of human reproductive cloning is now reality.

Nanotechnology: Lilliputian machines will soon be capable of synthesizing any needed product, and in any quantity. Such machines will also be able to repair body parts from within, eliminating the need to subject patients to intrusive surgery from without. Amazingly, the first prototypes are already here!
