| Aug 4, 2015 at 20:09 | comment | added | Ixrec | Personally, I think the biggest piece of evidence that the xenomorph is a weapon is that, as a parasite, it always kills its host (unless there are aliens out there who can survive a chestbursting). Under normal evolutionary conditions, parasites try not to kill off their entire host population, since doing so would pretty much guarantee that both species go extinct. | |

| May 29, 2012 at 17:46 | comment | added | gnovice | @Xantec: I know one of the trailers alludes to humans being biologically engineered, but I don't know about xenomorphs. | |

| May 29, 2012 at 17:15 | comment | added | Xantec | I thought that it was actually mentioned in at least one of the trailers. Now I'll need to re-watch them. | |
