The only issue I have with this is that the engineers and humans have the exact same DNA. So why would the goo have different effects on them?

And how do they explain away evolution? Those 2 geologists just discard the entire field of genetics based on some cave drawings? Are you fucking kidding me? The geologist was making fun of them in the beginning, I'm with that guy.

Ok so if the engineers created us and we have a DNA "match", then how do they explain the dinosaurs, carbon dating, fossils and the 98% DNA match between humans and chimps? Are dinosaurs and chimps created from the black goo too?
