David Bowman = David boyman. David is to divide, so Divide BoyMan
David Bowman represents the divide between boy and man. He enters the monolith as a boy ( in terms of human perception ) , ends his time in the monolith as an old man ( although still a boy in terrms of human perception / experience as everything is catered for ), and is reborn as a higher lifeform but still protected from the environment by a shell.
Between 2001 and 2010 the child is probably more of a spirit of Saturn invading Earth.The monolith was floating near Saturn in the book of 2001 by Arthur C. Clarke, they changed the location to Jupiter ( JewPeter ) in the moo-V ( movie ) probably to please the people who financed the mooV.
This demonic child of Saturn (possibly Satan) possesses someone on Earth for 9 years, and then announces to the Queen ( the governing body on the planet that you viewer think is his mum ) his emergence ( his claim to the throne ). When ( schizo man / divide ) David is asked politely what his intention is, he bluffingly says 'something wonderful'.
Wonderful for whom, eh eh??
Of course with a name of David, he probably doesn't know what is going on and he's bound to be a fraud or spy on someone who is closer to God ( Satan as God ). However as David Goyman came from JewPeter in the movie, not Saturn, David has told the whole world that he is a Jew, or Jewschild.
