A Creation Story

Or it's just a film about some Aliens.

Not really sure how I feel about this "suit approach" to the plot. The big shock would then be, that we are all just suits...or? It´s an interesting theory, but a motivation to create Man, based on the need to experience a new type of consciousness doesn´t really seem strong or edgy enough. Sorry to be the devil's advocate, I really don´t have any theories myself, so who am I to criticise.

BRAVO! This would make a great SciFi short story! I don't think that Android David is a good story vehicle to cause destruction of mankind. As much later Ash (from original Alien) was Glitchy, David really can't be a character that could challenge Gods himself. Unless David is cyborg, made from Peter Weylands brains and synthetic human body? This way the "Android" wouldnt be glitchy. Peter Weyland did have a bit similar posture (stiff) as Michael Fassbender has said he aimed with David...

I like the concept itself ;-) Charlize Theron described her character Vickers as, "a suit, that slowly sheds her skin." Good effort Biomechanic :-D

Bio, Did you read my post about the Fake script-off? Are you are trying to get a head start? lol... I love it! But I'm curious about why you are hiding that fact that the "being" would be from another universe that does not abide by the same physics of our universe? And I have a little problem with the "being" being jealous.. I'll post later why I can't buy that.. over and out

opppss totally thought something wrong.. you never said jealous.. lol.. I'm at work and trying to do 3 things at once.. my humble appologies..

cool story, bro!

You should get published Biomechanic! Be sure to include a glossary at the back, just like 'A Clockwork Orange' did for that idiom, so we can all follow along.

What would peak my interest is if the SJ "God" was not a singular race, but part of a hierarchy whose failure gets exposed to an adversary. We're their dirty lil secret, until we venture pass our solar system.

@Biomechanic. Wow, I want what your smoking ! I think you are half way there. The Space Jockey as we know it from Alien is actually a suit. The tall blue guy activating the chair is the real Space Jockey. Hence the giant Humanoid head, and also the SJ space helmet seen in the lab scene.

Quotoes... But I'm curious about why you are hiding that fact that the "being" would be from another universe that does not abide by the same physics of our universe?" "I don't see where I am hiding that." End Quotoes.. Well, did you hyperlink flatland after I wrote a response to you? I did not notice that is was hyperlinked on the first reading... A reference to "flatland" as a reality is very abstract.. whereas, "universe" is much more concrete. "Reality" is a very loose interpretation of "whatever it is". Which would indicate to me.. you just did not want to say "universe" for whatever reason.. lol... or you wanted to leave the interpretation up to the reader.. which is again... odd. Regardless, you are talking about a being, that does not belong to this universe.. But if you hyperlinked.. well then, I guess you were not hiding it.. lol On a further note, when the Weyland guy said, "M-therory".. this was a freak'n tip off. But I've teeter tottered on how it was to be incorperated.. But I think you have a blaze'n idea of how it could be used.. But no one ever said the BB came from a single tier. Quotoes.. "And I have a little problem with the "being" being jealous.. I'll post later why I can't buy that.." I will be looking forward to your post..... "...there has to be something in the story that creates tension. It's what writers do.".... "I know giving God human characteristics seems absurd " End Quotoes.. You pointed it out directly as to why I don't buy God being jealous.. lol. It seems that it is just fudged that "God" gets jealous, just to create tension. If I'm the reader or viewer.. I'm going to be in the crews shoes.. and if I'm going to be the crew, I'm going to have to know that I've done something wrong to make God jealous. Or I'm going to have to know why God is not going to under stand my android, before he meets him. As far as giving God jealousy characterisitcs.. I think it's fine, as long as the viewer can identify.. Did any of that make sense.. or do I just sound like an asshole? lol.. I think you have one of the best Science Feligion (yes I just made that up, here on Prometheus movie.com, check it out on the inerweb, it's not there) ideas that I have ever heard.. Ok , I don't know anymore.. my brain just stopped...

P.S. Ok, one more thing.. it's very peculiar how one thing brings up another. For some reason your post brought me to think of something I have not thought of since I was a child... [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmSbdvzbOzY]Thought[/url]

Biomechanic - The best thing I have read on this site so far, simple as. Just one question - where the hell do you get your acid from?

You just blew my mind Biomechanic. That story would take 4 films to make the viewer understand . I like it! But I have a strong feeling that Prometheus is going to revolve around a "less is more" theory. But like I said, I found your excerpt extremely, extremely fascinating.

LOVE IT BIO BUT DON'T THINK WE'RE GONNA SEE IT, BUT WHO CARES I LOVE IT AND YOU AND ME AN EVERYONE ELSE ON THIS FORUM CAN FILM IT OURSELVES...WHADDAY SAY TO THAT IDEA?

You'll have my support and my proposal for financing model of the Film. [url=http://www.kickstarter.com/]Kickstarter - Fund & Follow Creativity[/url]

I am so In Biomechanic...I can provide the professional camera equipment for pro rated filming. We'll have to chip in for the film itself !!! LOL. it ain't cheap !!!

It's an interesting theory... I think that the only reason to create somthing is to be able to use it or have some kind of purpose so what would have been the reasons for our subsequent creation... I feel that the Space Jockey race are trying to create the ultimate lifeform to infuse themselves with to eveolve themselves or different strands of themselves onto other planets or different environments it's a quick way to adapt whilst still have enough similarities to reproduce also perhaps. But I cannot help but feel that your theory falls over at that etherial being or sentient being created man to experience Earth or the universe... Because I think they would have already had their own physical form and experienced much before going onto create other physical life forms... The story that is told again and again is that GOD WAS ALONE and created others to cure the lonliness... But this would have been others like him / it and then go on to create somthing like Mankind for whatever the purpose was.... Ancient gods are different from modern religeon as we are all told now by and large there is only one god but in ancient times there were many gods for different purposes or to represent possesion of different unique skills... So that would correlate more to a race that works together to do these experiments for a purpose but it could have been to create the ultimate lifeform and mix themselves with this creature... And then repeat

yet another in a long line of brilliant posts by Biomechanic I suggest everyone check out, because it is fabulously creative and highly original.

Biomechanic, this is cool stuff. It reminds me of the Carl Sagan quote: "We are a way for the universe to know itself." Also, the fibonacci spiral face illustration is fantastic.
