Sorry, you didn't make sense here, clarify.

Yes, but not unendingly.  Unanswered questions can only poke holes in an
idea, not support one.

Whatever, if this is how you see it then we will never get anywhere here...

Or what?  You'll reach out of my computer and slap me?  Your demands
themselves don't seem too polite now do they?

I agree, what happens in the future is up to conjecture, but that is not the
point here, what was established in EoE was what happened.  Only if I
disregard everything I see can I start to make wild assumptions.  That's
actually what it was, the fan based was disapointed and confused with the TV
ending, After it was financially feasable, Anno gave into the demands of
those who wanted better explaination, not to mention some mecha fights.

fan fics?  You can't possibly begin to claim them as canon.

The crosses cause devastation, besides we see "souls" rising up from the
entire planet, its not just Tokyo here...

You shouldn't limit yourself to one concept or message when it comes to Eva.
The Adam/Eve visual shows us that Humanity HAS evolved, the rebirth into
something new(though not as realistic as the actualy Adam/Eve story, it
serves the same metaphor).

The exit of Unit 01 implies that they have all made their choice and that
the collective is leaving.
