My first original topic.
I know it has been discussed before in various threads and posts.
I would like to give my opinion and asking few questions you guys my contribute and try answer to.
Its obviously my lose findings and thougts that might not have any meaning in the movie.
Some argue that there is myths and religions included in the story of Prometheus, I believe so too and this is my findings:
Is it plausible that christian religion is actually first and foremost the story behind Prometheus script?
1. Engineers could be mythical Angels. They could be beings that "god" created to help him with his work. They would be kind of fully biological robots, manufactured on cellular level but still "slave like" creatures with inbuild lack of free will.
That would explain engineer being slightly sentimental towards David just before he ripped his head off. He have seen similar being wanting to be free but struggling with his limitation imposed by the creator and jelous of free will equiped humans being, favoured darlings of creator.
(Could engineers even be jelous ?)
They could do their jobs as executors of god's will of creating life on planets including Earth and then apearing in our history as acient revelations trying to keep our developement on track.
Them being just kind of slaves or workers would explain mythical or religious tendencies to making altars and sacrifices , despite being higher , older species than man, therefore unlikely mixof advanced so much technologically when being startraveling , using advanced technology and extremally religious at the same time.
2. Perhaps god has an opponent being (Satan ) that either was his rebelled previous creation or other species that is using god's design of angels (enginieers) as his pawns in the game. They would be either swapping sides or coppies of god's creation that have been aditionaly enginieered to have negative feelings ?>
3. Shaw's "virgin birth" could be a suggestion of new being, Deacon that would be Jesus like "saviour the world" or perhaps being that has higher rank than engineers and Xenos, as having both qualities, strenght and inteligence of both, it could be a start of god's plan to turn faiths in to his favour.
Those things would explain mystical Xenomorph mural (enginieers clearly worshiped it) as being their "master" or maybe just higher being.
If christian myths are clear on the god - human - angels relation, their all basicly the same kind of species so Xenomorphs would have to be something completely diferent or something that went tragically wrong.
Maybe god is just trying to create a being worth his attention ?
