This is exactly what I've been trying to get at when I've mentioned paradoxes and the ultimate mysteries of life and the universe.
This is what I think the puzzle is that Ridley Scott was attempting.
It's the unsolvable puzzle:

[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_regress]Link about 'infinite regress'[/url]
Distinction is made between infinite regresses that are "vicious" and those that are not. One definition given is that a vicious regress is "an attempt to solve a problem which re-introduced the same problem in the proposed solution. If one continues along the same lines, the initial problem will recur infinitely and will never be solved. Not all regresses, however, are vicious."

chase one's tail. var. tail chasing. To run in circles, to chase one's own shadow: a pointless pursuit of a nonexistent object, probably a glimpse of one's self or one's imagination.
As a metaphor, to chase one's tail is to travel in circles, to follow one's self instead of the thing being tracked.
It can speak of futility or a failure to see crucial evidence. When employed thoughtfully, it suggests that the one doing the chasing cannot distinguish self from others, and is unaware that [b]the very action that is of interest is his own doing.[/b]

If this doesn't make my theory of the movie loud and clear, and FINALLY answer what I've been trying to get across, than nothing ever will.
VERY IMPORTANT:
This goes the same for every theory posted on here:
J U S T B E C A U S E, some of you don't agree with one theory or another, doesn't mean that it wasn't the intention of the director.
So alot of people on here, and on many forums for that matter, need to STOP.
And think about the differences between what the director intended to be the secret behind everything, and what you personally decide SHOULD HAVE been the outcome.
Personally I would have liked to see the original Alien tie-in script turned into the movie. But Ridley must have been going for something grander here, and I actually think it's very enjoyable, and a direct Alien tie in would have just wound up making us want more and more, until we got tired of it again like we did with Resurrection.
Get it?
Got it?
Good!!

Enjoy!
