If you mean it just randomly popped up out of the blue, then sorry to say but you can give the same argument for Christianity. A long, long time ago, someone or a group of someones created the idea of it, hence, it just came up also.
My take on scientology is that it seems much like a pyramid-scheme that is not very well disguised. I'd say it is both a religion and possibly a cult, but then again, I'd say the exact same thing for Christianity (minus the pyramid-scheme, unless a certain church or some sub-group is one).

We believe we have a savior. Scientology doesn't. It's a way of life, not so much as a belief in the afterlife.
Geek? Nerd? More like intellectual badass.
