2 Races of the Engineers in Prometheus, the Black Liquid

Here's another take on "The Engineers" in the movie Prometheus.
There are 2 clans, tribes or sides of The Engineers shown in the Movie.
(Pretty much like we humans have differing cultures, philosophies, set of rules and belief. So the engineers being of higher intelligence would most likely adopt certain philosophies on why they are doing what they are doing.)
1) Creators
One was the Creator, the peaceful side. This is the one you see in the beginning standing by the river and causing the creation of life on earth. This is probably, also indirectly, based off the Bible, since all life was created from water and mankind was created beside a great river also.
The creators didn't have clothing. Also their neck is a bit different.
The spaceship hovering above Earth was different. It looked more elongated in shape, so it's more likely these are the peaceful engineers. Spreading and pollinating the Universe you might say.
2) Destroyers
Those on the distant moon were destroyers. They probably have a different philosophy or some beef with the creator and don't like them creating other life, especially life that looks and thinks just like them (That's probably why it was pissed off at us and probably more so with the Android David).
So they engineered some other biological lifeforms, the xenomorphs that can adapt to virtually any planet and wipeout all life there. a Counter-Life you might say, but got out of hand.
The destroyers all had the bio-suits on unlike the naked cloaked guy.
The spaceships were shaped like horns, so most likely offensive types. different from the circular-ish ship that was hovering on earth.
So call it politics, philosophy or just a different point of view from different clan members, the human race just got caught in their opinions.
------------------------
You can refer to this theory like the one in Predator. There are the noble hunters, following a strict set of rules and philosophy in hunting. Then there are the killers, just there for the purpose of killing something. Totally contradicting each other so they kill each other off.
This is also probably one of the reasons why predators prefer humans as prey so they can study how to beat their older foes, the engineers.
################## Black Liquid
- There might be one singular purpose or many.
- But basing it from the limited details in the movie, it can change the form or affect the biological structure of a living organism.
- Just like anything artificially created, the specific purpose and reaction of the liquid is most likely different.
1. The one on earth was designed to break down the biological make-up of the engineer, making the engineer the beginning link to life on earth.
2. The one on the moon was probably designed for a different purpose. Most likely for improving the engineers since these engineers prefer enhanced biological suits, so they're probably more interested in the offensive application of the Black Liquid.
- something went wrong with their engineering experiment and they lost control. This is most likely why mutated creatures or partially violent organisms are trans-figured after it is ingested. This can be observed from what happened to the worms, to the crew of the prometheus and probably the octopus or primordial face-hugger.
- it can also be observed that the container of the black liquid in the ship we're also kept in smaller separate containers. Probably like medicine, each of those would serve a different purpose.
- The xenomorph mural was probably an indicator, kinda like a warning sticker or label on a door or room, of the final weapon created by the black liquid aboard bomber ship.
- Primordial Soup, Fountain of Life, etc.

- The rest would probably be extended on the next film.
