No, I don't. It's one of those "but, still, wouldn't it be nice if..." things, though

They are stated to be such, in the few sources I have that don't start with the pair about to descend to Earth. But they are so close to the original spontaneous generation of divinities that their parentage is obscure.

And, Ark, Shinji and Asuka are no longer in Instrumentality, so no "Eden" parallel can be drawn.



I never said the beach was Eden.

The place where they end up is earth just like in genesis A and E are cast out of Eden and sent to earth which unlike Eden is not perfect but harsh and desolate.

I'm pretty sure that Eden was on Earth.

Quite so -

Genesis 3:23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.



Eden was still being a place to navigate from in the next generation:-

Genesis 4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.



- though Dante re-located the Earthly Paradise to the top of a mountain at the antipodes of Jerusalem.

Personally, I've always been a bit surprised that Hindi ideology so rarely enters Eva discussion, granted it does make more sense to write it up as Freudian given Anno's sources. It's a small world after all.

Bump for great justice.
