Not poking fun at you, but I am getting the sense of deja vu here. Do a little reading on DNA, specifically about the meaning and difference in phenotype and genotype, our DNA material, and how it is coded.
All life on Earth uses the same genetic material, the same types of molecules to carry genetic information, and nearly the same genetic code that DNA uses to code for proteins. Finding another life form off world that uses not only the exact same material, but the same nucleotides AND genetic coding we use would be a HUGE deal.
Unless there is something that we currently do not understand about DNA and its code that would force it to develop EXACTLY the same everywhere in the universe, finding an exact match off world would be miraculous.
I've done research, and you know what else has DNA? Plants. Are you saying that this banana that I'm about to eat came from an engineer? That would be very awkward. I saw a Venus Fly Trap once and that didn't look like an engineer. Does that beautiful flower outside of my house come from the engineer? Does the bee that's pollinating it come from the engineer? Maybe the engineers think that a bee pollinating flowers is incest and are disgusted by it.
Also, some plants have trichome, which is like hair. Why would a hairless engineer be able to spawn plants with hair?

You really haven't. This is basic high school biology. ALL life on Earth, with the exception of some viruses, uses DNA. Google and about five minutes on the internet will help you, but I gather you are not really interested in the facts, so I'm done.
Sometimes you just have to when nothing gets through.So, engineers created plants. Than why do we see plants before the engineer drank the black goo?

This has been done a few times overs the years. There even more points of comparison than what he has listed. As a kid, one of my friends was, and still is, an absolute Aliens fanatic. I loved pointing out all the stuff that was rehashed from Alien to him. Still, for a sequel, Cameron did an amazing job reinventing the same story in a very different way. He set the bar Lucas set a bit higher for what a sequel should be.

Bummer. No extended cut. A least there are tons of extras and the commentary.
Not sure if list is all inclusive - the film itself may be longer... Hopefully we'll find out more soon...
lol, like you ain't gonna give it a listen

Why not? I gave the commentary track from Star Trek a listen. Haven't you heard of my newest profession? I review this stuff! I'm working on Armageddon right now.

How can he hate it with every fiber of his being if he doesn't listen to it?

Almost certainly. Par for the double-dip course with Fox. Odds are, that won't happen for a few years, or just prior to film 2, so they ensure we will all buy it again.
