i think you three never considered that god could be even a woman?
ps: i don't care that you are "hating" erich von däniken & his theorie's. but you should be more tolerant, cos this movie will be so full of it...
and that's all what my post with the resembled pictures was about. and not: do i, or do i not believe this shit.
Kol, first of let me offer an apology for a post that I made under the influence of more then a few Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPAs. While I do not back off the comments I made regarding Von Daniken and his ilk, I should have never have brought up religion/faith in my post, and specifically my personal spirtual beliefs. That has no place here, and I do not intend on, nor will I get into a discussion as to how I can reconcile my Faith with my Scientific worldview, without inconsistency or internal contradiction.
I will say, simply this...of all the wonderful, thought provoking and (in terms of horror) disturbing narrative paths that Ridley could have chosen for Prometheus, I am dissapointed that it
appears that the story arc involves a race of ancient aliens (perhaps of humanoid morphology) as the explanatory force behind our human origins. We end up with an infinite regression that is, to me, very unsatisfactory. If they created us...who created them...and who created those before them, and so on and so on. More importantly, I feel this very much diminishes the entire wonder (and mystery) of the orign of Life on Earth, and the subsequent "miracle" of contingent evolutionary processes that have resulted in Homo sapiens becoming self-aware, conscious, technological beings.
