Alien/ Prometheus: Sorry if redundant

So, already I am having nightmares about this film. In the best way possible. The images of the Engineers, the strange creatures in the film (such as the one that crawls up the crewman's arm in the international trailer) and the return of Giger's art all lead to a lot of nights of zero sleep. In other words: I am a happy man. Prometheus to me seems like Ridley Scott's return to themes he wanted to explore in "Alien." I see many posts about chestbursters, facehuggers, xenomorphs, and the like. But I hope none of those are in the film. I hope we see how we get to them. The facehugger has to come from somewhere. Does the Prometheus cause the creation of the xenomorph? Does the presence of the Prometheus cause the engineers to either A). Create a new weapon to destroy humanity? or B). Resurrect and old blight they once used to clean a planet? B. is far from a new thought, but it is still interesting. Then there is C).... Does someone from Weyland, Weyland-Yutani, or the Prometheus create the path to the xenomorph, perhaps corrupting the Engineer's tech? All of this I feel will tie into a macro-theme of creation, which has been discussed. Bio-mechanical/synthetic creation (like David and perhaps like the Engineers) and natural creation (through sexual relations). But add to this the violent nature of birth as seen in Alien...Forced creation vs. natural creation/sexuality. I feel this film will stand on its own, but we will see a definite move to the nastiness of the creature in "Alien." Now, I am relying on all of those here because I will miss Prometheus this year. I have waited for many years for this film, but alas, no Prometheus for me. Help me to get as much Prometheus as I can. One more thing: Excuse me if this is a redundant post.

Here is a thought, why would you name the ship Prometheus? Given the TEDtalk and the fact that Weyland is so caught up in the story. He fully intends on taking some kind of technology from the "Gods" right? Well what if the Jockey is a Prometheus type figure. What if this Jockey was banished to earth for breaking the rules of the "creators" and is left to be tortured on this rock day after day. Now I can't begin to guess how long the life span of a Jockey is, but what if this creature is slowly plotting its revenge on the Gods who "overreacted". This jockey, or now fire/technology giver, helps manipulate mankind to where they will enventaully have the means to go to the Gods and reveal that the banished one has returned to take revenge on them. The engineers then realize the threat of this once thought imprisonment world and sets out to destroy them before they "become the Gods". The engineers see a threat in the android David and have realized earths true potential. The problem now is that once you become a god you tend to look down on your creations, you tend to belittle them and cast them off. Its is here when the creation rises up and gains its revenge. David will see himself as the next step or the perfect engineer..and what he creates or what he becomes will be monsterous. How its plays out I don't know. Weyland cleary has access to the Jockey's "knowledge" in some way. He however is being manipulated and the search for more knowledge and technology is really a revenge mission led by Vickers. Is she the jockey? She looks kinda pissed and driven in the trailer. Just a theory.
