Engineers Worshiped the Xenomorph?

Looking at the Engineer biosuits and how closely they resemble the ALIEN exoskeleton, I think we might have the entire thing backwards - in assuming the Engineers created the Xenomorph. Yes, the Engineers are masterminds when it comes to genetic engineering and creation. But could they have simply been trying to mimic that of the original Xenomorph in the Temples on LV_223? Could that facility have been a testing ground to create an obedient ALIEN which is created of the same genetic material that the original Xeno was? It would certainly make sense in that case - why the black goo / bio-former turned everything into a Xenomorph-like creature. The original Xenomorph was regarded as [b]structurally perfect[/b]. The perfect organism. Not clouded by delusions of morality. A survivor. Could the Engineers have discovered this species long ago and worshiped it or regarded it as being a higher being compared to them? It's certainly possible! When Holloway is in the Ampule Room and finds the Mural of the Alien and looks at that chamber like object he says [i]"Just another sarcophagus"[/i]. Could that held the Xenomorph test subject that the Engineers were dissecting in hopes to learn from it and create a species like it for their own purposes? There's no doubt that they were trying to create either weapons or some form of higher species with the Alien DNA, but did the Engineers originate the Alien's DNA? I'm thinking not. I bet they modeled their biosuits after the Alien's structurally perfect build and they were trying to harness its genetic makeup to either create a clone which could be controlled, or various prototypes of similar species which the Engineers could use at their disposal. What do you all think? Is this theory too far out? Or is it plausible?

Someone posted a gorgeous theory yesterday. It had something to do with an ancient Sumarian/Persian story that Ridley supposedly used as a background for the Space Jockeys. Link-->[url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/7436]PROMETHEUS Explained! (Sumerian)[/url]

i see why the helmet is the way it is, its a face hugger, with the tail being the breathing tube. so cool. it makes sense, why would they design there suite in there image if they did not revere them in some way.

I've always thought it was the second mural that showed the source of the space jockey suit, or that the crouching creature in that mural fits perfectly inside the space jockey suit.

Right under the mural there was a green stone. WTF was that? Maybe you're right OP. Think about it. A huge engineer head with all these capsules around it. And behind the head lifted abit higher was the mural with that green stone. I guess just like symbolic meanings, the higher something is the more important.

@azzeh3, maybe the green stone worked as some sort of projector for the mural? No clue...

Maybe the xeno is the ideal creature the engineer try to produce, or in their culture, an icon, the engineer admire the strength of the xeno.. pretty much like the ancient Chinese admire the dragon..
