>another thing i dont get: how can a dead person evolve?

It's not so much a matter of evolution as a change in the state 
of existance.  

We believe that as long as the person wasn't dead too long,
their souls were caught up in Rei the Angel of Death's sweep.
So Misato and Ritsuko (and everyone killed in the assault on
NERV) are in the LCL soup, somewhere.

Kaji... probably not.
