RE: "But what was the Black Goo?" It symbolizes technology and empiricism

Posted by geoffkait on August 19, 2013 at 11:10:34:
I think it probably makes more sense to interpret the opening scene as a religious ceremony in which the white dude, part of some sort of religious order, was sacrificing himself so that others might live. Yes, it might be a stretch to say it was analogous to the blood of Christ, nevertheless....Recall the DNA of the dead Engineer on the planet on which Prometheus landed was found to be nearly identical to human DNA. So, it makes sense that the opening scene was intending to show that life on Earth was started by these alien beings. The opening scene was Earth millions of years ago. Engineers might not have showed up until millions of years later.
