Is the black goo used to create human life the same the Engineers intended to use as a biological weapon to destroy human life on Earth?

This interview with director Ridley Scott and writer David Lindelof indicates that it is the same liquid, but their film is intentionally ambiguous about what exactly the liquid does.

David Lindelof:

So there’s a speculative part of it – the question becomes, “What does
the black goo do?” That is the question that you’re supposed to be
asking coming out of this movie.

The movie demonstrates what it does in certain circumstances. So,
here’s what it does if it gets on worms; here’s what it does if it
gets on your face; here’s what it does if someone just puts a little
bit of it in your drink. Now we see that lots of this is headed to
Earth. Now, you used the word “weapon” – you’re extrapolating that
based on the theory Janek [Idris Elba] has, because it looks like a
payload to him; all these ships are loaded with this stuff, and
they’re headed for Earth. The intent has to be to wipe us out, or is
it to evolve us, or is it for something else?

These are all hopefully questions and points of debate – frustrating
for some – but ultimately the kind of science fiction. Why the two
movies that Ridley did decades ago are still being discussed is this
idea that when you walk out of the cinema that you have to go into a
community and start to discuss.

For his part, Scott quips that the goo does three things: cleans your teeth, acts like Viagra, and causes a meltdown in the morning!
