In Reply to: You're gonna argue about the genre now? It's sci fi. More specifically, it's the prequel of Alien posted by Jazz Inmate on August 20, 2013 at 18:41:20:

That makes no sense. Why would the Engineers be repulsed at their own creation? Do you think it's human nature for parents to be repulsed by their children? Besides, as I already pointed out, humans were not created by Engineers, they were created by the beings depicted during the opening scene - the sacrificial dude and the beings in the Mothership.

"The engineers clearly were repulsed by theirs, and when that creation itself began its own creations, technologically manifest as David, the engineer was driven to violence. I have already discussed this in previous threads on the forum."
David said something to the effect that everyone wants to kill his parents. So, it's more like the children revolt against their creators, not the other way around. And David was certainly planning to rebel against his creator, Weyland. If humans were revolting to their creators, their creators had plenty of opportunity to destroy them over the thousands and thousands of years of evolution.
I suspect the last Engineer, upon being awaked suddenly from a long sleep, reacted out of confusion more than anything else. I'm not sure he knew these were even humans in front of him. I think the evidence is that humans were a project, an ongoing project, and the Engineers were simply carrying out orders (given by the beings that were in the Mothership in the opening scene). But the orders were not to destroy Earth. Besides, we have seen Engineers were not the brightest bulbs in the galaxy, although they were well suited for dangerous assignments and long tedious assignments such as space travel.
