So am I getting this right?

[Dascoo]

Alright, so when Adam went haywire, he created a massive Anti-ATF which produced a massive explosion. When he did that, he 'sploded the white egg, and sent angels in there embryo form all over the planet. Now angels were possible evolutionary paths for humans, and when there embryo lands in an area, it matures into an angel that suits that area (for example, because sandalphon landed in a volcano, it "evolved" into an angel that suited the enviroment, or Gaghiel because it landed in water, it matured into something that would swim).

So why are humans so small, and angels are so freaking massive.

[BobBQ]

Biomass distribution, maybe; there are billions of us and fifteen of them.

[Sachi]

good point
but wat about the Angels of pure light, like Arael
and he Sahdow Angel, Leliel

[Darius]

could be related to good and evil...I suppose. I don't think so, but it's my only quick thought on mind.

[MaggotMaster]

The angels are big because of Seed of Life pseudo-religious stuff.

Plus, remember they aren't made of the same matter as us.

[directedition]

I'm not sure I buy the whole 'alternate evolutionary paths' thing. I mean, you can't evolve into another universe.

[MaggotMaster]

You technically can't evolve into a different form of matter either.
Also, you can't evolve the ability to shoot energy beams from your eyes.

It's called Sci-fi, it doesn't need to make perfect sense.

I know how evolution works, but I was just kinda putting it......nevermind.

But if human's were to develope into a certain area, they take the form of that possible evolutionary path. Only problem is that they shoot beams out of there eyes and crap, but it's because there part Adam.

The 2 seeds clearly have different methods of producing life. Lilith bleeds, 2 amino acids for a protien, single cell organisms come out, aquatic life, dinosaurs, birds, mammals, primates, homo sapiens. Adam umm, explodes, eggs are scattered all over the place, they turn into angels. How were they able to develop so fast in 15 years when Lilith Derived Organisms took millions of years to get to where we are now? Different seed, different result. Why do they look the way they look? Who knows, maybe it's because they evolve to their final form in practically no time compared to LDOs.

I don't recall Lilith being responsible for all life on Earth. Only humans derived frrom her. How other life froms were brought to life is never explained in the NGE universe.

[Mr. Tines]

I don't recall Lilith being responsible for all life on Earth.

First Impact was the event that formed the Moon, so she would have been around exuding primordial soup (as well as commensal organisms) about the time life got started.

[Dascoo]

I believe adam and lillith weren't meant to go to the same destination, and accidently arrived on the same planet.

Wait was lillith derived from adam? Or are they two totally different things? Possibly Lillith was the traditional way of populating life through out the galaxy, while Adam was an new experimental way I suppose...

Lilith wasn't supposed to be on Earth.

That is Lilith, the progenitor of mankind
who are the false successors from the black moon.

And Adam, the progenitor of the Angels
who are the true successors from the lost white moon.

Lilith was not derived from Adam.

How do you know this? I'm not denying that's it's not possible, but where does it say Lillith wasn't supposed to arrive at earth.

CI.

Lilith was in the black moon and Adam was in the white moon. During the conversation with the 15 monoliths, they say to Kaworu (paraphrased, the exact subtitle text is in my above post): that mankind, born of Lilith, were the false successors and the Angels, born of Adam, were the true successors. In other words, the Angels were really supposed to inherit the Earth.

The CI also has a few things to say about it:

Two Seeds of Life cannot exist on one planet, and, therefore, one of them is excluded.

Initially, the White Moon -- containing Adam -- fell to Earth. The Black Moon,
which originally should have gone to a different solar system, was captured by
Earth's gravity, and, after it crashed into the Earth's surface and bounced, it
became a satellite orbiting the planet. It left behind only its ruins and
remained in the heavens, and Lilith, the Seed that the Black Moon had carried,
was implanted into Earth. Lilith's landing site is believed to have been in the
vicinity of what is now called the South Pole, but it was later moved by
tectonic plates, ultimately as far as the Hakone region of Japan. That site is
the giant cavern of Hakone, and the future Nerv Headquarters would be
constructed here.

The stuff about the moon being inside a moon which became the Earth's moon is a little confusing. The geofront (black/white moon) was inside (probably the core) of a large spherical rocky stellar body (called a moon). When Lilith made the unscheduled stop on Earth, the remains of the outer rocky matter "bounced" and eventually became Earth's satellite. Hope that made sense (I remember when a friend of mine in Japan was trying to translate this bit, I kept sending it back to him saying none of this shit makes sense).

[Dascoo]

Thanks for explaining!

[directedition]

I totally understand. The whole thing summarizes as this: Magic.

Well, now we've got that all cleared up.

[Mr. Tines]

Within the meaning of Clarke's third law, yes.

Not saying anything about Eva, just kinda popped into the brain.
