So I saw the film at a midnight showing in San Francisco last night and I wanted to see if anyone had similar thoughts. This discussion will have spoilers and be forewarned I loved the movie. So I want to start by tracing back the creation of the Aliens as we know them by analyzing the chain of creation. So the engineers created us. On purpose or on accident? I ask because if the opening scene is on earth then it could be interpreted that the engineer ingesting the goo and then falling into the primordial water supply could have blended the engineer dna with the alien goo and led to mankinds 'spontaneous evolution'. I am not sure if the the film was trying to say this explicitly or not. I would love to hear thoughts. Anyway... so the engineers created us and they created a biological wmd in the form of the goo that leaked out of the vases and became the acid worm semi face hugger looking thing. They created us and we created David. David decided (on his own or under instruction?) to experiment with our creators greatest wmd by forcing one of his creators (member of the species not hands on creator) to ingest this substance. Then they get it on. In participating in the natural act of human creation while infected with this bio-weapon a new species is created that is a combination of the bioweapon (the semi face hugging acid bleeding thing) and human. This new species is removed from Shaw and develops at the same rapid growth rate that the Aliens we are familiar with would. As we see in the end of the film this giant worm species grows into a gigantic face hugger that in the end impregnantes the engineer and from the engineer emerges a new species. We must assume that this is the first queen otherwise where do all the other Aliens come from? So the Alien, as we know it, is a product of our creation (David) manipulating our "Gods" greatest weapon by getting a human to ingest it and then impregnate another human and then the offspring of that pairing impregnates our "God" to create the Alien species. This to me is mind blowing. This movie will be well recieved initially but will grow in value over time as people watch it a second time and understand more of the big questions being dealt with. Is it always good to create life just because you can? At waht point does your creation turn on you or at what point do you lose control over the whole process. Prometheus is an outstanding sci-fi action film that dances around some extremely fascinating questions without getting bogged down in theology or forgetting what it is. I can't wait for a second viewing!

I like your perspective on The Engineers creation creation(David) creates the Xeno's. I mean essentially he caused the change reactions. Also i feel like the Black goo might be engineered for different species. For all we know the Engineers terareformed Earth and just wanted to create plant species and the humans/animals were a unforseen byproduct of the Engineers body/blood
