Engineer gods inferior to humans.

The Engineers have Spacecraft that can traverse Galaxies, so do we. Holograms, us too, spacesuits, us too. They manipulate DNA, we manipulate DNA. They terraform Planets, we terraform planets. I know we have weapons, we can only speculate what or if they posses weapons once we watch prometheus, as I have not seen these guys use any. I realize that our weapons used by the merks didn't seem to affect their suits, but I'm sure Weyland or Yutani has bulletproof armor. The Chair rising in the Orrey is impresssive, and looks pretty cool, but as of yet we know not it's function. I'm sure we could build a chair to accomodate Janek in the same fashion, spiraling out of the deck, no problem. I don't know if the creatures seen such as the Vagisnake or, Space Cobra are bio weapons they created as of yet or not. They are scary, I would not want to get infectedby their particular form of "Jock Itch" as it seems to mutate you, if the creatures are controlled by the Engineers, which I honestly don't know, if a flamethrower wont work, I'm sure a nuke will. And common sense tells me that a guy that muscular, prying open space craft doors will beat me in hand to hand. But it appears that for some reason inn the Alien universe they havn't "Occupied" earth as of yet, being it takes place 30 some odd years after the original Alien. These beings are doing uncivilized things, have been around a while, and maybe like all Empires, Rome, etc, rested on their laurels and get their asses handed to them by us. I'm sure the movie will answer questions and hopefully have Prometheus II. Maybe this race is dying and can't compete with the new kids on the block. Or they might just decide to stop playing games and put out our sun or something of that magnitude, or just decide that the lost of one space ship or station isn't worth bothering us about. The thing is, I'm hoping for another great Bladerunner, Gladiator type Epic movie and hope to understand the Engineers strenghts, intelect and weaknesses. I do think there will be a home for us to go back to, anyone think not?
