RE: What does it all mean?

I agree with some of that, especially the significance of the abortion scene, which most certainly WAS in the movie. The space Jesus WAS NOT in the movie, and the idea that engineers living millions of light years away would have been upset about the crucifixion of a single man (the Romans crucified about 10,000 people and murdered a million in their conquest of Judea. Moreover, every life form shows cruelty, it's not just humans.
My interpretation of why the engineers turned against humanity is that humans were developing the ability to harness technology in ways that reminded the engineers of their own shorcomings, and were using technology in harmful ways. This is paid off by the large role David played in the film, and the hostility of the surviving engineer. The way that scene unfolded was very significant, when confronted by David and Weyland, the engineer yanked off David's head and used it to strike Weyland as if the intent was to punish humanity for its own technological attempt to create life.
