Maybe the Engineers have been Naughty...

I got inspiration for this from Chris.Thank you.
I for one was of the mindset that the Engineers could not have been the sole force been this whole storyline . When I saw them in Prometheus, I automatically felt of them as a superior race but not the overall creator race.
Seeing the pics of the destroyed world in the A:C trailers has only reinforced this perception. I believe a superior race (their creators) destroyed them for some reason.
This "who/what" rationale for their destruction on this planet got me thinking about the explicit biblical warning from God to Adam to not eat of the fruit from the "Tree in the midst of the garden." We know this was the tree of the "Knowledge of Good & Evil."
What people a lot of times forget or overlook is that the Bible states there there were two trees in the midst of the Garden. 1) the aforementioned Tree of knowledge and 2) the Tree of Life. Curiously, the Tree of Life was not off limits to them at that time, only the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
Once Adam & Eve had partaken of the fruit of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, God banished them from the garden and barred their way to the Tree of Life. Their punishment was for Adam''s sons to toil in the fields (hard work) and Eve's daughters were to suffer during childbirth. HMMMM....
However, the burning question is why could they not at least eat of the Tree of Life which was previously accessible to them...?
Maybe after getting the knowledge, having access to life-giving materials made one dangerous.
Looking at our Alien enterprise. Could it be that like humans, that there was forbidden knowledge that the created Engineer Race were not supposed to obtain? Could it have been genetic science? Perhaps the Engineers took a substance/material/device (The creature in the mural?) that was previously accessible to them and converted via the forbidden knowledge into a dynamic (yeah...) harbinger of life contrary to the desires of their creators.
Maybe this creature was intended somehow to empower life (ala the tree of life), just not in the way the Engineers manipulated the DNA to make their version of a lifegiving material.
This could be why they were destroyed....As punishment for playing with something that they were not supposed to-- the Black goo. A lot of possibilities that they use their knowledge to combine with something they already had, perhaps the blood or life essence (DNA) of the creature
Ridley keeps giving these biblical allegorical themes and it stands to reason he is trying to take us somewhere.
