I've been thinking a lot about the concept of free will a lot lately which they talk about in the article. I've been thinking about it because I've been listening to the Tool song "Right In Two" over and over again. Great song and I wanted to post the lyrics because if you replace the term "angels" with "engineers" it really could apply to Prometheus and the Engineer's view of their creation... [i][b]Angels on the sideline, Puzzled and amused. Why did Father give these humans free will? Now they're all confused. Don't these talking monkeys know that Eden has enough to go around? Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys Where there's one you're bound to divide it right in two. Angels on the sideline, Baffled and confused. Father blessed them all with reason, And this is what they choose? Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over pieces of the ground. Silly monkeys. Give them thumbs, they forge a blade, And where there's one they're bound to divide it right in two. Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over pieces of the ground. Silly monkeys. Give them thumbs, they make a club to beat their brother down. How they've survived so misguided is a mystery. Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here. Gotta divide it all right in two. Fight till they die over sun, over sky, They fight till they die over sea, over air, They fight till they die over blood, over love, They fight till they die over words, polarizing. Angels on the sideline again, Benched along with patience and reason. Angels on the sideline again, Wondering where this tug of war will end. Gotta divide it all right in two. [/b][/i] Great song.

Link to the song with captioned lyrics... [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBsZbL-Akms]Right in Two[/url] There's actually a line in there that references 2001 pretty obviously.

Great find, Engineering. That one was captivating. Thank you! I've never seen a film generate such a wealth of stimulating information. That was kinda chilling, the Frankenstein parallels, which have been around for a while, being so neatly defined.

that 2001 reference could also be a Prometheus reference, now here me out when fifield returned to the Prometheus he attacked 2 guys on the ramp, most notably the second one he tossed a guy off a vehicle and jumped and did a 1-2 slam punch on the guys head...now most gorilla's have been known to use that technique, and as for the man...who are we supposedly evolved from???? eh...

Engineering Thanks for the article link..it was a worthwhile link. If the Bio Engineering works out for the good no complaints for anybody.. But as failures occur..and cannot be contained in the labs,,then the human outcry to stop testing would occur. THe real question is should Bio-engineering contnue,,is sort of rhetorical,,,of course but will because of a natural curiosity. That reminds me of David and his curiousity..leading to harmful decisions to crew members. Maybe we are more Android David,,than human..
