Is it possible humans are the real evil of Prometheus?

Many make the assumption that the SJ/engineer or creators of the story are evil, corrupt, uncaring. While I don't mean to get all tied up in circular reasoning of what evil is, and if a being so far advanced would tend look at humans as insignificant as a bug, and by their own perception not be evil.
But... What if the SJ/engineers intended to give us some gift. Maybe they give it to Shaw, like some kind of emaculate conception. Perhaps the crew were meant to find something but rather than embrace the gift, greed and power take over, maybe lust for immorality, and Shaw is locked up and experimented on like some kind of laboratory rat against her will because of what she is given or finds. Perhaps she is corrupted or impregnated by the crew? That would be rather disturbing.
