I like the new flawed imperfect injurable Engineers...

Imagine if then yes the Race who created the Engineers are GOD And they are upset with us and commanded the Engineers to destroy us... why. If Ridley went for the idea that we was created by a Race of True Gods or a Race created by God to teach us stuff then wipe us out, then why are Humans around in the Alien Universe. If we was created by Gods and they wanted us dead, then we would be dead would we not.... Unless who we interpret as Gods are not Gods or that GOD is not even real, then yes that would explain while these pesky Humans are around. I mean take out GOD, he is so displeased with the un believers etc then how come he dont beam me up Scotty the Believers to Heaven or where ever, then destroy the Earth then hey it only took him 6 days before so whats another week to remake Earth then plant back the believers on Earth. Maybe he will one day, or maybe he dont exist. Prometheus is not trying to play the God is Real Game, it is trying to play the who we think are God/Gods are just a Ancient and Advanced Race who have flaws as they are not truly Immortal at all.

I've never really like the idea of Personality God(s) -- they don't make sense, they're too ANTHROPOMORPHISED, too petty/beardy. Ya know? We're just talking about more advanced races, we're not talking about ACTUAL GODS capable of making A Universe in six days (what a ridiculous fireside story that is anyways).

@ JoeyJoe - yes I think we're on the same wavelength - I just think that they have much more experience, and that's time to perfect - but the massive tech leaps made by man are astonishing and have happened in the blink of an eye. We're a threat and challenging the 'Gods'. @ FreePlanet - I think the whole premise is that we're all playing god, but the shock is that these supposed gods are as flawed and brutal as humanity. Not divine at all. They are literally our own reflection - a future one perhaps. The most humane/godlike of all was DAVID. I think it's a social commentary on the perils of where we're heading, and it's also commenting on the ridiculousness of religion/prayer and hope in heaven..or Paradise.

interesting mind you're driving there, karlosfunkster.

Errrm, thanks?! :-D

@FreePlanet Yes thats what i mean, that the idea is we was created by a advanced and ancient race and not by some Father Xmas Lookalike with a Magic Wand ;) And if you are a taller more advanced race and can do many create things that Ancient Man could not then they would perseave you as Gods.
