It was very interesting that Shaw's crucifix was removed just in time for her "abortion" scene and there was tons of intense symbolism that explored faith as deeply as the original Alien film explored psychoanalysis of "the other", as symbolized by nonhumans (alien, cat, android) racial differences, gender differences, mother, reproductive organs, etc.But even having seen the film only once (I guarantee I missed 90% of the visual and audio cues--that's how rich it was in the direction and production quality), it's obvious that this was no ordinary sci-fi film where the scientists are portrayed as geniuses and moral saviors. Here the biologist and geologist, and even the paleantologist were portrayed as self-serving, petty idiots who quickly succumbed to the evil they encountered. Shaw, in contrast, was pure in her pursuit of the answer to her question, and she never lost her belief or her focus. Her faith totally carried her.
