Just watched the movie, finally, and enjoyed it. Had some unanswered questions of course, and wandered here to get them answered... and saw a few more.
I haven't seen anyone consider this possibility, so I thought I'd share it.
First, we know that the Engineer at the beginning of the movie looks different from the Engineer later. We also know they want to destroy us. So has anyone considered... that the Engineers themselves are in a civil war? Think about it, they have military technology and can make weapons. Just because a species can achieve great things doesn't mean they are peaceful or even unified. Just look at humanity!
So isn't is possible that one faction created us, deliberately, and the other faction wants to destroy us? It would also explain why they look different.
