Its now agreed that most of the things in Prometheus does draw its symbols from Christianity. There are so many other religions like Islam,Hinduism,Buddhism, etc which have not been explicitly mentioned here. To consider Jesus as an Engineer is in itself a point that is controversial, since this may mean others like Prophet Muhammad, Buddha , etc are not so important and considered less than Engineers . Is Ridley really that narrow minded to not consider other religions as equal to Christianity? Hope that Ridley gives a satisfactory explanation in the sequels .

Everything in the movie is symbolic after all it is a worldwide movie. Since I only know what I have experienced it would be useful to have other interpertations of the images that probably escaped my eyes and mind. Two people can look at the same thing and understand it in different ways, To a good example is the use of the flamethrower, It may be a practical tool for this voyage,but with the story of Prometheus and Fire RS may have select this item because of the base story. Please post some more symbolic references religious or otherwise.

It's funny because the movie has clear religious values, good and evil, heaven and hell, God and Satan. Symbols such as the cross and the Satanic pentagram sign. Analyzing these facts, first at aLL, the common roots to the Hebrew hell, to the Christian and to the Muslim, in the Persian formulations, and in I make concrete in the mazdaism and the over-simplification. Taking a look at these Iranian elaborations illustrates wide and surprisingly than Western Christianity has believed for so many centuries. Secondly, the Christian hell, as it has been effective in the Western world, and it comes mainly from Augustinian manufacturing. it is necessary to place them spatially. Because geography and cosmology have had always something that to say on beyond (farther). Do not the modern geography and the cosmology allow that topic of Hell and Paradise, because of it in the modernity there is outlined the traffic of the cosmological conception to the anthropologic conception of hell and heaven.
