In the interview I spoke of, he explained that the "Creators" were upset at how man turned out. They sent the Xenomorphs to destroy us. The pilot (big guy in the chair) thought we deserved another chance, and crashed the ship before delivering them to earth.

^Is that considered canon at all, or just the way Ridley Scott wanted it to go?

What he had in mind when he started it. The follow up is mind blowing, and I can see where it would be controversial and why studios didn't want to touch it. Apparently, the creators, in seeing how dedicated the 'deliverer' was in saving mankind, decided to give us another chance. So they sent another to try and "save" us and put us on the right path. We killed him. Who did they send? Jesus.

Yes, there was supposedly much more dialog written for the conversation between "The Engineer" and David in Prometheus, in which that was mentioned. The linguist hired to developed the language claimed that was part of what he was asked to translate.

That person was not named, but we are to assume it was JC.
