It's not about faith so much as it's about beliefs, religious and otherwise. In Prometheus, Elizabeth believes David, and Janek, the pilot of Prometheus, believes Elizabeth, unquestioning belief, you could say. And the crew believes Janek. But David has his own agenda and is not beholding to anyone, although he certainly can act subservient when it suits him. Like the movie, Chinatown, especially the Nicholson character Geddes, things are not what they appear in Prometheus. The old coot tells Geddes at the restaurant in Chinatown, "You may think you know what's going on but you don't." Chinatown was another movie that used eyes a lot as symbolic devices, as in you can't trust what you see. Geddes, of course, is a confident, but unreliable narrator. As did Blade Runner. A fleck in Faye Dunaway's eye, the eye of the fish, Faye Dunaway gets shot in the eye by the old coot, etc. In Prometheus, Holloway's eye has a tiny wriggling thing in it as he begins to mutate. The Deacon version of the Xenmorph at the very end of Prometheus has no eyes! You see what you want to see. Along those lines.
