What exactly does it mean to seed life in the Prometheus universe?
Here is one possibility;
- Ancient engineers seeded life by planting single celled organisms on habitable planets
- Single cells are based on "engineer" home world life supporting a single body plan and a limited set of evolutionarily stable species (human/engineer life being the inevitable goal of that evolution)
- Sacrifice is required for seeding to pass on the soul (assumed some kind of extradimensional property/process of nature)
[- 4 billion years later the old and pragmatic Engineers decide to abort the universal project of their predecessors before it gets out of hand (it threatens the "god head")
- Earth life was targeted for destruction (along with all other sites) - perhaps there was another planet that had already spiralled out of control, and they weren't willing to take second chances
- Some remaining zealots try to warn the humans of LV223 and attempt to accelerate their social evolution
- There is perhaps some final war "in heaven" in which forbidden atomics were used, and in which the angels lost interest In their biological weapons programme]
