what will happen on earth

This has been explored in many different SciFi stories. One of them that was most interesting to me involved the fact that after everyone got pretty upset for a while, we just got used to the "new normal" again and ignored the vastly superior alien presence. Ultimately the alien presence and the affect on our sun was going to bring the earth to an early doom, but the eventuality of that was still generation out, so just as with global climate change today, nobody really cared that much. Other than "taking over our sun" the aliens ignored us, so we eventually started ignoring them back. A similar thing happens in [i]True Blood[/i] with the Vampires. Human society at large just finds them somewhat annoying. And then some want to sleep with them and worship them [u]because[/u] they are superior... I think the only way that there would be TRUE upheaval on earth is that if an actual superior being were here among us, on CNN and FoxNews every day. Otherwise, we would want to believe that any "proof" that came back from outer space would have been fabricated. At the point in the future that these events take place, it will be possible to fabricate any "faux reality" at retina-display quality. The general public would not believe the footage of Cuddles being born on a foreign world any more than we will believe that it is TRULY real when we see it next month. They would have to witness it happening in their own hospitals or bedrooms for it to really make a difference. The existential threat would have to be in their living rooms. What "CORPORATIONS" like Weyland-Yutani might do, that's a different story; and that's the brilliance of the role of "The Company" in the original film and in this one.

I imagin the pope would say God made the blue guy to test our faith haha

In the "Book of Enki" the creators of mankind consider that they will have to answer to the "creater of all" for what they have done. The Anunnaki made us, who made them? Do our gods have gods? The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics suggests that nothing exists until in is observed by a sentient intelligence. Who is the prime observer?

re: Pope Absolutely. Immediately before issuing another encyclical on genetic engineering. Nothing as sinister out there as a stem cell.

@Jason8, Likely NOT the Engineers based on what I'm seeing in the trailers. There is nothing god-like about Prometheus being able to take them out with a kamikaze-style back-of-the-head tap. offtopic Am I the only one who finds it strange that the croissant flies "backwards"? /offtopic

maybe the engineer was DUI

@Windood, See! There's always a logical explanation. OH. I forgot to mention, all of those whose great grandparents were let down by the Mayan Doom will get to doom it up again when Shaw comes home. They can waste their children's college fund savings on bus-side advertising for the Engineeraclypse. ;•)

Umm....pssst!....*whispers*.......It's a fictional movie. lol

Ummm... pssst!... we know. It's a hypothetical scenario.

Ummm...pssst!... but isn't it fun to hypothesize about fictional stories?

@sukkal I think thats where they are going with that theory, that the Gods are indeed not God like anyway.... Weyland has become like a God for creating David 8 and i think mankind should be abble to create simular by the year 2100 for sure. But then would that make us Gods, not in the sence that we can click our fingers and create life, click our fingers and change the weather etc etc. But then again you have to ask, if there was a real God with his magic wand.... then why is their so much pain in the world, why does so much evil happen. Basically that equals to if there was a God as in all powerfull supernatural being, he either is 1) Not at all powerfull and all mighty! 2) Dead and gone! 3) Cant be bothered with us! As far as the OP goes if he means what if a Alien race landed and proclaimed they created us.... Well if they did, they would have to have some hard evidence to back that up. And even if they did. Those who use faith in their beleaf systems and thus Religious would either not except them and just brush it of as a Hoax by the Devil and his follows... like some do with Evolution and even exsistance of Dinosaurs etc. As bottom line is, the biggest fear of any relgious beleave in one God and indeed the Bible, is finding anything that casts doubt on their religon. Mind you many would not accept anything anyway, some dont even think we have ever been to space and never will, its all fake.

Hmmmm...Pssssst! I just wanted to say Hmmmm...Psssst:O)

Hahaha! of course it is! I have several theories about the film's direction on here. I just think it's a bit far fetched trying to mesh movie fiction into everyday religious beliefs and science-(my opinion only!) -When the engineers land on Earth and enslave and mutate all of us---I'll eat crow. (and brains, with my double-hinged, 2 jaw mouth) lmao.

haha...too funny @Dave_b

@BigDave YES! You and I have a lot in common. I very much appreciate your intellectual rigor.

It can be a person or an idea, whatever "seed" that threatens faith. Sadly, this is what prevents a lot of dialogue between religious and non-religious people. As soon as the person whose world view revolves around [url=http://bible.cc/hebrews/11-1.htm]faith[/url] labels another as a "Thief of Heaven" as a normal function of psychological self-defense mechanisms, the dialogue is essentially over.

"Imagine what would happen back on earth when there is a survivor who literally met God himself. And got (mayve) raped, beaten, attempts made on her life." Ushbuck would become emperor of man.
