I agree...but not because of the picture.

First here is MY diagram of the picture....only much, much crappier and of 
lower quality. Follow the numbers.

>1<  Could be a few things. One thing is undefined....it's head.

>2< Definately an arm. But what are we to say that that isn't the depth of 
the LCL showing us a Rei limb floatin around in there?

>3 and 4< Now, Brendan said that Adam had shoulder fins. I did not see these 
in the picture, in fact, I noticed that Rei's upper torso (head, neck, 
breasts and whatnot) are obstructing the view of the (possible)Adam's right 
extremities.

<5 UNLABELED> If you notice the torso, it is in fact something that cannot be 
Rei's body. So it may be just a neat blend picture hidden within. 

<6 AND 8> Is it me or does 8 look ESPECIALLY like Asuka?

<7> Yet again. Definately an arm. And it does appear to be Lilith's crucified 
arm, but if this were a picture of Lilith and Adam combined, why would Lilith 
be crucified? I think Anno just threw this in as symbolism, that Rei is part 
of Lilith (her soul)

<9> Why are they both missing their right arms? Rei lost hers in EoE am I 
correct? But when she merged with Lilith she still didn't have a missing limb.

<10> Definately Lilith's head. You can see the mask of Seele on her. So it 
definately is Lilith.

( MY FINAL VERDICT)
This is nothing more than just foreshadowing of third impact maybe? I do not 
think Adam is present in this picture. I think there is an upside down Lilith 
in it as symbolism of Rei's relation to Lilith. Because a few details 
guarantee that it is her. Adam shows no definate signs on the cross, and 
there would be no reason for him to be on a cross with her.
