Right, i was just reading yet ANOTHER Eva FAQ and looking at some info on
Adam and Lilith...... both these creatures play a decisive role in the
story, of this we can be sure, but i was wondering perhaps there is another
layer to these characters overall relavence.
   Consider how many christian myths and ideas can been seen in Eva; the
Dead Sea Scrolls, Angels themselves... perhaps the first 2 angel, Adam and
Lilith are themselves representing of a biblical idea; the Tree of Life and
the Tree of Knowledge. Lilith of course being the Tree of Life, Adam being
the Tree of Knowledge

Think about it, Humans come from Lilith the source of life. in Genesis, the
first humans could only eat from the tree of life.

If we were to assume that Lilith is a representation of the tree of life
then surely Adam represents the forbidden Tree of Wisdom. and if you think
like that then you can say that we are more like the angels then we think.
All the angels are trying to return to Adam i.e. trying to gain forbidden
knowledge. Gendo and his facination with the Kaballah - the idea of gaining
the most forbidden knowledge of God itself can also be seen, just look at
the Sephiroth on the floor of his office - the tree of life on which is
found the knowledge. isn't even SEELE's objective with Instrumnentality is
gain and share the knowledge and wisdom of every human being into one
collective conscience.

We certainly can't deny the idee fixe of life and knowledge in Eva. but
perhaps their power can be seen in a different light if you imagine that the
angels could offer it instead of it being taken.... and that opens up a
Pandoras box of religious symbolism i don't think anyone would have the time
to discuss
