Corrected entry: One of the smart-ass crew members says Shaw's theory of alien engineers only makes sense if you ignore three centuries of Darwinism. The movie is set in 2093, so 3 centuries before would be 1793, about 100 years before Darwin's theories of natural selection took hold.

Correction: On the Origin of Species was published in 1859 and the genesis of Darwin's theory dates back into the 1830s. This is still not a full three centuries prior to the events of the film, true, but it's far closer than the hundred years out that you claim. For an off-the-cuff remark, "three centuries" is an acceptable rounded figure.
