actually, reading about Hubbard, you are astounded about what a lying rascal this guy was, but always in a way that amuses... the minny tragedies he causes involve wiping out the finances of people dumb enough to get involved with him and causing them to declare bankrupcy.... also, he seems to lie about anything and everything -- and scientologists seems to have taken this to an even higher level for the sake of deifying him so that they can feel better about themselves (even the anglo-american-aryan-master-race-anglo-saxon-name-master-race-tokenist-media is better than this! although the liberal arts universities that produce them are not)
go ahead and read about Hubbard's life and lies, you'll get a good laugh out of it... still, whn extrapolating his view of the Cosmos, we find some of his reasoning very sound:
Hubbard expanded upon the basics of Dianetics to construct a spiritually oriented (though at this stage not religious) doctrine based on the concept that the true self of a person was a thetan—an immortal, omniscient and potentially omnipotent entity.[180] Hubbard taught that the thetans, having created the material universe, had forgotten their god-like powers and become trapped in physical bodies.[181] Scientology aimed to "rehabilitate" each person's thetan to restore its original capacities and become once again an "Operating Thetan".[179][180] Hubbard insisted humanity was imperiled by the forces of "aberration", which were the result of engrams carried by the immortal thetans for billions of years
