Temple atmosphere and decorations designed to mimic whatever species enter it?

When i write a long topic.....before i hit the post it button i always highlight and copy the text so if it does go tits up i can just paste it all.....saves a years wasted work lol. I posted a few days ago about the ship being organic and being able to copy life and also repair itself. Its around here somewhere

@ wirn..........well how many churches and temples do we have on earth? Its only fair to say that the temples could also be spread out the galaxy or even that the Promo planet has more than one.

like it...a lot...I like anything to do with levetation or holographics. just sayin'. lol.

Mark, Yeah, I just learned that lesson the hard way!

I love that idea!

That's a pretty good idea man. Could be the SJ race really are benign, maybe it's another, different species who have also recieved an "invitation" and just so happen to be visiting at the same time as us and we just can't seem to get along.

@Wirrn......youve obviously never been to Birmingham lol

I like it!! the temples are like roach motels for whatever intelligent species happens along to get stuck in them....I guess it's true, somewhere...sometime, we are all just ants. lol

"Birmingham"...I liked the song by Amanda something...forget what it was now...

theres tons of different churches all stacked on top of each other where i live too. so much so, that i was tinkering with starting my own, so i can get in on this money-grab. lol. maybe a church that looks like a pyramidic temple and all the pastors are bald and paint themselves blue!! lol

wait.....isn't that a vegas show??? my bad.. hahaha

Got to say an awesome speculation. I agree with this hands down. It is certainly some kind of a trap. And as you imply, maybe something much more unexpected than what they only see. Definitely, all in the trailer declare clearly..."we were so wrong"...so what remains? " if we don't stop it now...there will be no home to go back too" so...."it's not a map...it's an invitation".So they were wrong about thinking of it as an invitation. So what could be the reason for a higher inteligence to trap other species? leave them homeless? without their mother planets? So in this case the pictograms were planted for that reason in those home planets.That means that the higher intelligence had vistied these home planets. Why then didn't it destroy them then? Why let them evolve? Hmmm.....broad horizons here. The classic version: they let them evolve until as you imply they realize and answer that invitation. At this stage of evolution, they could start becoming a threat. So that would be the time for them to move in and destroy the home planet of the adequately evolved species.What still puzzles me, is why we get throughout the trailer, the feeling of genetic material mixing, alien DNA mixing with human that is? Maybe this is how the higher intelligence is going to destroy the home planet of each species. Two option here: First, they use the visitors to mimic their DNA and move to their respective home planets undetected to execute a destruction plan.Second: they don't just mimic the visitor's DNA to go undetected to their respective home planets...they use this mixed DNA to polute the entire home planet population. And now my last question: polute to just kill them? or mabye polute to trasnform each home planet resident into an alien being same as the engineers? and of course totally under control?(this, in case the mixed DNA cannot make the inhabitants of the home planets as higher beings as the engineers themshelves, but something like lower-intelligence creatures totally controlled by them due to the mixed DNA).Why didn't they just blow up the home planets from the beginning? Before the invitation?I say why bother? or ...creatures at that time would not mix well with the alien DNA if they hadn't yet gone into an advanced stage of evolution (the one that would allow them to accept and fulfill the invitation). Do they want just smart (efficient that is) slaves?Wow man. This could go on forever and not stop till we actually get to see the movie.Thanks for your inspiring thoughts. I will also post this theory indepentendly.I will be glad to hear your thoughts.

is interesting the -morphing according to visitor dna- idea. this image for the probably location of the ampule room, and theres no head yet in the 3d projection.. http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=42688.0;attach=579;image

Whiskuz- if that's not this movie... You should write the next one.

>>You see something like this in the preview when Shaw says the walls are changing and you can get a glimpse of it happening. You have a great idea here. What if the temple knows something about Shaw? Or perhaps the temple is showing the guest their possible transformations if they so choose to create new life? I can't wait to see this movie.

The question for me is why did "god"/Engineers leave us with religion and to be afraid of "god" . Logically, if you are able to create life from nothing you cease the need for "god" or a god we can have to be afraid of. Most scientists and people in government that I know don't believe in god. It is back to the evolution vs god question. Would intelligent life that could create man need to be believed to be a god? Or is it man who needs a god to behave and do the right thing until the animal instinct is bred out of us. Look around at people at the next football game you attend. Many of them need god and society because they would be like animals.

Great responses guys! Here's some other thoughts concerning this plot and some comments I've got rolling around in my head. Clymene: Good questions. The question that pops into my head after reading your post is this: Relations between different life on a planet is hierarchical and the same is probably true in the universe. I think Ridley would agree with that. That being the case, if there are life forms out there that are equal in capabilities, appearance, and intelligence to our gods, what are the gods of those life forms capable of, what do they look like, how intelligent are they, and what roles do these gods play in the creation myths of the life forms that are god-like to us? Now if life in the universe truly is hierarchical well beyond our comprehension, then it doesn't stop there. Their gods may be based on actual encounters those life forms have had with flesh and blood creatures. We may end up seeing two layers of god-like creatures in this film. Or, as I said in the original post, we may meet creatures that are god-like to us while getting a glimpse of creatures that are god-like to them. Maybe that's the explanation behind the two types of ships, derelict and saucer. I really have no clue though.

Cosign. Intriguing concept.

Well hi guys. This is a test, cause I have already posted (here included) some rather lenghtly posts that seem to have vanished. So I write this as a test to see if the text will be kept. Sorry about this.

ok here it goes: It is certainly some kind of a trap. And as you imply, maybe something much more unexpected than what they only see.
