Im letting my thoughts run wild so bear with me:

Did anyone else get the impression that the species that got wiped out by the black goo bombs on "paradise" actually wasnt the engineer species themselves, but rather a subspecies that perhaps the engineers created?
I think by the look of the city, the behaviours of the inhabitants as well as their look made me think this was not the same species as the Engineer in Prometheus. Maybe this was a more primitive form of the engineers and that the engineers on LV-223 were more advanced biomechanically enhanced form, or maybe simply the creators of these species like they created humanity.
Thoughts?

Maybe there is even a space jockey race that the engineers themselves worshiped (by for example mimicking their technology and aestethics by making their suits look like them) that we get to see later? I know this sounds far fetched but it think anything of this kind is possible in this universe.
Im also having this weird vision of David fusing himself with some of the alien pathogen to create this "biomechanoid" superior and perfect entity. This will probably not be the case but im pretty sure he will evolve the xenomorph by making it more "biomechanical" by probably merging some of his own parts in a way.

If we Tackle what PARADISE is then it becomes more clearer...

Ridley seems to be hinting at Biblical References more than others in the TWO movies, and Prometheus 2 was to be Paradise Lost and then Pandemonium prior to John Logans Re-writes to change it to a Alieny Movie.

Paradise in context of Paradise Lost and the Bible is... The Cradle of Civilization, its where Mankind was Created.

*Paradise is not where God comes from.

*Paradise is not where the Angels come from.

*Paradise is a place where Mankind was Created (Adam and Eve)

*Paradise was guarded by Watchers/Cherubim (Angels) who was tasked at watching over Gods Creation and making sure they obey Gods Will and that no one is allowed into Paradise, without Authorization of God.

If they are loosely going this route... then we can clearly see Paradise in AC fits this Perfectly, it explains all those confusing things and Questions..

I've been thinking more on this subject and looking back to the events of AC. I'm coming around to the idea that perhaps this planet was the birthplace of the black goo— in AC we find out that the Neomorph is created from the fungi/ spores found on the planet. My assumption is that this fungi is native to the planet and it could be possible that this was harvested and manufactured into the goo. In reference to the biblical definition of Paradise (as Big Dave had posted); Paradise is where mankind was created. This planet was the genesis of the black goo and the population here are it's protectors. It could also explain why the planet was hidden from scanners and why the population seems confined to the one city. I've started a separate thread about this if anyone is interested.
