Here's a better question.

The introduction to Prometheus shows several Engineers engaged in some kind of ceremonial "seeding of life" event on an Earth that appears to be more primordial.
One can assume that Ridley Scott and the writers room that wrote the script for Prometheus are intellectual dimwits without the slightest understanding of geological time.

This might be a long post, but it is necessary.

Let's begin with what we understand as the origins of life on Earth. Billions of years ago, approximately 2.5-3 billion years ago, after Earth formed in the early solar system, the moon formed likely from a collision event with another large planetoid, and the Earth cooled down enough such that the surface wasn't molten, and oceans began to form as comet ice was deposited on the surface, in the oceans various chemical processes led to the formation of the first simple single celled life forms. Life would remain very simple and non-complex for billions of years, over time the life did evolve slightly, into the first bacteria and algaes which would have created the oxygen in the atmosphere and deposited banded iron formations globally from the oxygenation events oxidizing iron in the ocean and depositing it on the seafloor. We have a lot of evidence of banded iron formations around the world from this time. Stromatolites also soon appeared, these are concretions of sedimentation from cyanobacteria mats that we can still find today on Earth in places such as Shark Bay, Australia. We have evidence of stromatolites that are billions of years old, showing that life did exist on Earth billions of years ago.

However, it wasn't until around 600 million years ago that life began to change. Multicellular lifeforms began to appear in the Ediacaran, known as the Ediacaran fauna. These were the first multicellular life forms on Earth, and were sessile, tubular organisms. For millions of years life was like this, until the Cambrian era.

During the Cambrian, life on Earth, in geological terms, meaning over millions of years, "suddenly" exploded and most of the various phyla of organisms began to evolve and diversify. This was around 540 million years ago. This wasn't a sudden, singular event, but took place over tens of millions of years as an evolutionary arms race between organisms raged in the oceans, life rapidly evolving into new niches, exploiting new food sources, those food sources rapidly adapting to avoid predation, predators rapidly evolving to compete with each other and exploit new niches. It was a time of vast change as the life as we know it today emerged and started a cycle that continues to this day. Things such as trilobites were among the most common organisms in the oceans and are well preserved in the fossil record.

Ok this is pretty long winded but trust me, I have a point here. So, in Prometheus, again it is shown that the Engineers at some unknown time were seeding life on Earth using the black goo to basically ritually sacrifice an engineer into his primary organic structures into the ocean, his body essentially being the building blocks that formed life on Earth. This is explicitly shown in the movie, Ridley wants us to believe that the engineers are the source of life on Earth and the ritual and decomposition of his body in the primordial Earth led to the formation of the first DNA and multicellular life. They show dividing cells, DNA double helixes forming, etc.

So, to get back to why the writers of this movie are such hacks, they are implying that the Engineers have been around for BILLIONS of years! Even if we're generous and say that this event with the Engineers took place in the Cambrian, that was still 540 million years ago! 540!
>>
Ok, now this is where this movie gets even more fucking stupid. Shaw discovered the petroglyphs in the cave, showing the Engineers came back to Earth eventually, hundreds of millions of years later, and met with primitive humans, showing them where they came from, which is how Shaw and company learn about the place to search for their "creators" that ends up being the planet they travel to in the movie.

So, somehow, the Engineers remembered Earth and decided to just show up to it over 540+ million years later (billions if we're talking about the origin of life on Earth being that event)? They jump started an evolutionary process that didn't even see humans form until just over 1 MILLION years before present? So the Engineers plan was for the Earth to go through five mass extinction events which killed off almost all life on Earth over hundreds of millions of years before something that looked like them, hominids, evolved from earlier primates that just happened to evolve from earlier ancestors around 24 million years ago? Make any of this make sense. The Engineers planned on all the previous dominant life forms on Earth to go extinct and eventually lead to humans?

It just makes no fucking sense. Nothing in this movie makes any goddamn sense. Ah yes, the engineers were so desperate to check up on their science experiment on Earth from 540+ million years ago a couple of thousand of years ago to find some primitive retard apes that somehow evolved from other life after 5 mass extinctions over the last 500 million years, and it just so happens that the Engineers evolution was completely stagnant in that time and they appear with the exact same physiology in the past as they do in the present with the black goo ones at the research station on that moon. Makes perfect sense!

The entire plot of Prometheus is centered around this seeding of life with the Engineers and none of it makes any fucking sense!

Thanks for reading my TED talk

Tech not biologically based is a cultural taboo to the Engineers.
Also, they thought themselves Gods and made the humans as a servitor race, but these asshole made their own artificial species. Little monke playing at being Gods and creating an abomination.

Nothing ever said that it was billions nor millions of years ago. Nothing ever said there was zero life at all on the planet nor that they created it all. It's a planet in the habitable zone with good conditions for long term life, and they want to make a species there with problem solving intelligence then observe it as it grows up. The idea for the engineers was that they live hundreds of thousands of years. Therefore not in any rush and fine with taking eons for plans to play out. Shaw says they were there on Earth talking to early humans 35,000 years ago. So likely, they were just on earth and nurturing the intelligent life there for less than a million years, up until 2,000 years ago when they decided the experiment failed. No, it's not perfect, and yeah, it could use a hell of a lot more thought and fleshing out. But you're headcanoning a lot of shit into there that's not in the movie. May as well start applying hard physics to it too and saying that them traveling at the speed of light passes millions of years as they go between planets.
>and it just so happens that the Engineers evolution was completely stagnant in that time and they appear with the exact same physiology in the past as they do in the present with the black goo ones at the research station on that moon.
And that's not true either. The engineers that made humans had "normal" bodies with sex organs they cover up. The engineers the humans encounter 100,000 years later are merged with biotechnology, have no gender nor sex organs, and are barely "human" anymore. The idea was that in their experiments they lost the ability to naturally reproduce and need the xeno blood to do so.

well yes, yes they did. Literally right after the scene where Prometheus sacrifices himself, they show Shaw and her husband breaking into the caves and finding the wall paintings. And they discuss how many they've seen and how it's the same star pattern, so they should go there.

Did David not expect this? Or was he victim of his programming? I would think that some genocidal giants who are autistic about muh biological purity, not reacting well to him or his dad's request would be known with some proper research.
>>
>>214696257
No, it's not like that at all. You're that jeet's grandfather and you abandoned the family because of something his dad did. But you left very detailed instructions and maps on how to travel around the world and find your house some day. Then you get pissed when he actually shows up at your door expecting you to be happy to see him and thrilled he followed your notes. Then chimp out and beat him to death with zero explanation and blame it on him. You retards always reach extremely far to try and make Prometheus appear in the right, and you always fail so hard. He's an idiotic hypocrite and completely in the wrong.

>>214692605
>Why did Prometheus attack David?

It's exactly like that, like if the Aryan invaders of India saw a Jeet from 3 generations down the line, claiming to be "them"
