Given the dates provided by the film, the events took place in the 2090's. Looking back in history, particularly Roman history, it is interesting to note that the Book of Revelation was written exactly around 2000 yrs earlier. Is this an accidental coincidence or a deliberate reference to something the film has to offer. Or maybe the sequel.

It's Ridley's hamfisted attempt to imply that Jesus was an Engineer. Yeah, that was his idea. Mercifully it got cut from the movie.

I thought that at first that was the case until I did a little bit of research into the matter, What was surprising was the fact that the name Marcus Aurelius came up, when looking at that period in history. Forget Christ on this one because, believe me I was surprised at some of the events that took place between 89ad and 120 ad. The more I have delved deeper into this from a number of angles, I have begun to realise that some of the so-called plot holes are not holes at all. The big problem is working out where it is leading and it is leading somewhere.

Wait, so you tell me that you got this movie that not only explains (suggests a theory which if right - explains) creation itself but also explains why sumerian mythology is the way it is, explains why and what greek mythology borrowed from it, then what christian religion took from that (the flood concept, Moses going on top of that mountain and speaking with God, who tells him about heaven's heights and how, looking down upon earth, it looks ROUND... like a GLOBE... how would they know the earth is round?)... So you got all that and you mean to to tell me that space-jesus is too far-fetched, assuming that you've already taken the things before that as a plausible theory? By the way I don't think they implied that it's exactly 2000 years, to the year. I'm sure they meant 'around' 2000 years. Also, if you assume (just because you ARE watching sci fi) that the engineer thing really is true, while in the movie I'm way more inclined to believe the engineer's data instead of human history and data, which renders our 'precise' understandings of when exactly jesus was crucified obsolete. That and why the hell are they supposed to do it imedeately? I mean if jesus was crucified 1-2 centuries before they decided to bomb earth there's a lot of stuff that could've happened that would've taken them a century or two.
