    The fact that black goo “eats” other life to “grow” implies that this Engineer on, according to the article, ancient planet Earth wasn’t just planting life. Also, there was almost no lava on Earth so it would be some recent geological time. I can only accept that he was planting human-like Intelligent life, perhaps our species itself. I liked it because it seemed to align with creationist myth and that’s a huge cultural mashup to me.

    Anyway, I tend to overthink…

    There’s another ‘fact’ taken for granted by this article that I can’t quite follow. They say the Engineer was acting on its own and this was a negative behavior in their species, a bit of a paria. What sustains such claim?

    PS. I only saw Aliens (1986) and Prometheus. Not a fan of horror, but SciFi.
