A Pinocchio Plot?

[i]I'm sat here, unable to sleep and have spent the last hour considering the potential plot for Prometheus. Suddenly, from putting all of the information and conjecture that we have so far together; I had a "bingo" moment! Before continuing, I want to make it absolutely clear that this is purely a theory and further conjecture on my part...
Okay, so we've seen Holloway being subjected to an acidic substance and seemingly transforming / mutating. What if his DNA is altered in the process. Maybe he ends up becoming a human and Jockey hybrid.
We've also seen a shot of a man looking ashamed with a bruised woman in bed, next to him. What if Holloway, now experiencing unsettling feelings of overwhelming sexual desire and aggression, rapes Shaw due to a shift in his DNA and subsequently, his mindset.
Due to his altered and not truly human DNA, Holloway impregnates Shaw, whilst also dramatically affecting the speed of the unborn child's development. We've heard of a test trailer which included a scene involving David talking to a young boy; this is what leads me to believe that a growth accelerated child will be born. The process of a growth accelerated child within Shaw is also backed up by the shot of a woman's belly inflating at an incredible rate in the test trailer.
Very soon, Shaw gives birth to Holloway's son, who continues to grow at an exponentially fast rate. The Space Jockeys may have a vastly different life expectancy to our own, accounting for the speedy growth rate (also this may explain the accelerated growth of the xenomorpth seen in the later Alien films... an inherited trait). The boy (whom due to the rumour over at AICN of Prometheus being very thematicly similar to a Disney film, I'll name Pinocchio) is also incredibly smart due to the his inherited Space Jockey DNA, whom are presumably highly intelligent creatures.
Unfortunately, Pinocchio grows up so fast the he quickly ages to the stage of being a fragile old man. Remember that shot of Shaw screaming "please" and the further shot of her dropping to her knees, blooded up? Well, the Weyland scientists conduct brutal experiments on Shaw, Holloway and Pinocchio in order to learn more of this new and bizzare evolution of humanity. In the shot with Shaw, you can see David comforting a bald man in a wheelchair; I believe this to be Holloway's son, Pinocchio.
As Pinocchio continues to age and wither, a small number of the Prometheus' crew decide to act in defiance of the Weyland Corp and try to help him by bringing him to the Jockey's base, in the hope that the creatures there may be able to save him somehow by utilising their advanced technology. Remember that shot of the crew pointing their guns at someone, in confrontation. We see an old bald man (who I believe to be Pinocchio) behind them, being supported by others (he had to leave his wheelchair behind).
Now we've all seen the shot of the blue, bald man in the trailer. I propose that this is not "the real Space Jockey" but in fact, Pinocchio (having been further altered and ultimately saved by the Jockey's technology). Furthermore, I propose that it is this higher being who will steal something from the Jockeys, possibly at the request of a human in exchange for saving Pinocchio's life (hence Pinocchio acts as the mythological "Prometheus").
Naturally, the Jockeys are not best pleased by this and Pinocchio is punished by having an engineered creature burst from within him. A creature born of human and Jockey DNA. This creature chases the humans until a terrifying confrontation ensues during the final 8 minutes of the film.[/i]
