Actually since the engineers could definitely be considered human and us their descendants, the plot of this film would solve most of the scriptural problems with theistic evolution (animals dying before the fall of man, the bible saying the universe was created in 6 days and in a different order than in evolutionary theory, etc.) and even the traditional creationist mysteries of why the animals are punished for our sinfulness and why their were giants; God created everything in 6 days but than humanity decides to spread life throughout the universe.
