We were created to be used as carriers for the black vial- for the Xeno-Bio-Weapons at the facility.
And that destroy earth is more like, harvest time.
When David and Shaw's Hubby discussed creation over a game of pool and pinky-dipped poisonings: "Made because we could..."
"Could you imagine how disappointing it would be..."
Combine this with another curious insight.
Point 1:
A. LV 223
= B.? Leviticus 2.23
New American Standard Bible (©1995)
"Say to them, 'If any man among all your descendants throughout your generations approaches the holy gifts which the sons of Israel dedicate to the LORD, while he has an uncleanness, that person shall be cut off from before Me; I am the LORD."
+ or - C. Damon Lindelhof
"You look at a cave wall, there’s somebody pointing at some distant planets, and one interpretation is “This is where we come from” another is “We want you to come here.” Where are we drawing that from? I think another thing that’s interesting about the system that they visit is that the moon the land on in Prometheus is LV 223. And we know LV 426 is where the action takes place in Alien, so are they even in the right place? And how close are they to the place that these aliens on cave walls were directing them. Were they just extrapolating “This is the system that has the sun with the sustainable life.” So there’s a lot of guesswork. There’s a small line in the movie where David and Holloway are talking about David’s deconstruction of the language based on Holloway’s thesis, and he says “If your thesis is correct” and Holloway says “If it’s correct?” and David says “That’s why they call it a thesis Doctor.” And the reason we threw that in there is that we’re dealing with a highly hypothetical area in terms of who these beings are, what, if any invitation they issued, and who is responsible for making those cave paintings. And did something happen in between when those cave paintings were made - tens of thousands of years ago - and our arrival now, in 2093, 2,000 years after these things have perished. Did something happen in the intermediate period that we should be thinking about?"-Writer- Prometheus- Damon Lindelof

MemberOvomorphSep-17-2012 7:27 AMSo yea, Does Lindelof's statement that the cave paintings may have been a warning relate a strong likelihood that LV 223 is Leviticus 223? if so, are bible references now tenable?

MemberOvomorphSep-17-2012 7:33 AMNo, it doesn't.
The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent

MemberOvomorphSep-17-2012 7:33 AMLet's not mix leviticus in this one. Since it's Lindelof it can mean anything to him, like the size of his nose or his grandma's pants.

MemberOvomorphSep-17-2012 8:30 AMAlso seeing how Lindelof may not being joining Scott on "Paradise", we probably should leave him out on this one

MemberOvomorphSep-17-2012 8:33 AMAs an atheist, I am just putting these ideas out there.
Any thoughts on the first idea? That the Engineer's were either meaning to use us as bio-weapon hosts, like Weyland-Yutani in Alien-Aliens-Etc
Or Even that the intent may just be subjugation. To re-assert dominance, as we would over David or Bishop, or a Mob of Synthetics for example?

MemberOvomorphSep-22-2012 5:04 PMPossibly. Or perhaps we were meant to be lab rats to test their weapon on a much more potent species that was attacking their homeworld.
Yes, no?

MemberOvomorphSep-24-2012 9:30 PMWell it seems that Lindelof is hinting that they wanted us to go there for sure, but maybe it's not as straight forward as an invitation or a warning to take caution and it's more of a deception. Maybe we should consider what he's saying about something happening in between their arrival and our arrival at the outpost world, and everything that perished. That things can be highly speculative and we might think things are one way or another and end up with something completely different: an invitation or a warning when really it's kind of neither.
It's more like a trick or a deception if they do wish to use us in some way or punish us at some time when we're ready.
Leading us to the light and truth about the creators, only to use us in their war against the creators like Lucifer does with his fallen angels.

MemberOvomorphSep-24-2012 9:44 PMIt's not about Christ being an Engineer, it's about David eventually becoming more of an anti-hero, and coming to represent the anti-christ for a while after his rebirth. The opposite of all the Christmas/religious connections and what one might expect. The opposite of what some people think the story is about based on the 2000 years ago thing. It's about the formation of Empires, and the disintegration of empires, but mainly formations with the Weyland-Yutani Empire being the crumbling remnants of the Weyland kingdom + the Yutani kingdom.
The Engineers were mad at the Roman Empire, but not only for the Jesus thing.
They were also mad about their expansionism, and other things, and Jesus was not an Engineer.
It's kind of a part of their value system now to not be dominated by an Empire.. They also can't have too many of us joining together under powerful/influential rulers.
But it's also about: chaotic kings, the disintegration/reforming//reshaping/assimilation/conquering/dominance/combination of cultures which is sometimes associated with the death of a king. The kingdom could be affected in many different ways depending on the circumstances surrounding the kings death.
