My problem with the whole concept is just the complete illogical nonsense of it. Like I said above, it totally takes being immersed in the story away. So to kind of lay it out, the Engineers plot is as follows:
- Engineers came to Earth tens of thousands of years ago.
- They found this planet full of life that just coincidentally matched their own genetic makeup.
- They created a new creature (humans) based on themselves but are also genetically almost identical to other primates on this planet anyway.
- Humans spread all over the world and develop various civilizations and and genetic variation among themselves.
- Engineers decide they don't like humans two thousand years ago for some reason.
So when did they introduce humans? And was it in Africa before the earliest records of humans? It doesn't make any sense. If anything it makes more sense that the Engineers came from Earth and were created BY humans.
-Engineers visited a planet, probably Earth.
-Added their dna to the water. Where's water, there's life. So it's fair to assume there were already micro-organisms or small lifeforms around.
-Evolution happened and something evolved into humans.
-They weren't happy with the result so they decide to wipe the slate clean.
Where do you get the idea they created us a whole? And what does the location have anything to do with this?
It all makes sense if you're willing to look beyond your personal opinion.
And there's a theory it's not Earth.
So it's possible we're an indirect result of them seeding life somewhere else. Meaning were a mistake.
