“Eugenics is the way to correct this error.”Īlthough Mr Siegel is not active on social media and has not spoken about his connection to the Urantia Foundation publicly, he has published articles which show his support for the idea of eugenics.Ĭo-authoring a piece titled ‘The Twenty Most-Asked Questions’ – which appeared on the group’s website in 2015 – he stated that “ignoring genetics” was one of the factors preventing a “disease-free world”. “Per the text, evil, in the form of illness and disease, exists because ‘unfit’ peoples like ‘Australian natives and the Bushmen and Pygmies of Africa … these miserable remnants of the nonsocial peoples of ancient times’ haven’t been eliminated,” Giller wrote, quoting The Urantia Book. The Urantia Book’s references to specific races is also explicit.
It further states that Adam and Eve were fair-skinned, blue-eyed aliens who were sent to Earth to eliminate the inferior races and create “one purified race, one language, and one religion”, wrote Martin Gardner in Urantia: The Great Cult Mystery.

The prominent physician was known to promote eugenics and believed that the Nordic race was superior to others.Īccording to a 2016 expose by Megan Giller in the now-defunct publication Van Winkle, Mr Siegel and his another founder John Hay were greatly influenced by the book and incorporated elements of it into the running of his company.
Mr Siegel first read The Urantia Book – which was first released in 1955 – the same year he founded Celestial Seasonings.Īlthough the identity of the book’s author is unclear – it’s said they wrote it after being placed in a trance by extra-terrestrial beings – it’s believed to be William Sadler.
