No I get that - what i meant that the DNA was a 100% match not a partial match - humanity had evolved/'mutated' from their initial seeding. So human DNA would only have elements of the Space Jockeys' DNA and would not be excalty the same.

I presumed the ship laden with bioweapons was on its way to destroy Earth. Thats why Shaw wanted to sacrifice the Prometheus.

I have to disagree with this. I thing the opening sequence was a flashback to the Space Jockey who was allocated to seed Earth. I think it was a reference to religion and a God that died for his creations. (I think Poser said something similar)
I'll post some of my more nitpicky things later.
