As for the whole \\\"Jesus was an engineer\\\" bit, that\\\'s not in the movie... at all. It is really just the writer\\\'s interpretation of his own work (i.e. \\\"Word of God\\\"). It\\\'s not actually canon and I personally don\\\'t think it\\\'s a reasonable conclusion from the movie\\\'s internal evidence. Feel free to disregard it, I certainly do! :)
Now that I think about it, if Ridley Scott DID try to answer the deep questions he asks than he wouldn\\\'t be able to intelligently and would\\\'ve just made the \\\"Jesus was an engineer\\\" thing canon. So this might also be a case of \\\"choose your battles\\\". Either let the mystery remain and the questions go unanswered or else get the writer\\\'s stupid and offensive answer forever etched in the Alien canon. Not a tough call in my opinion, Ridley\\\'s just not up to the task.
