This is total stabbing in the dark, but if Adam and Lilith were once the same 
entity, and then split apart, wouldn't this signify the first manifestation of 
the second use of an AT field, that is, to repel other living beings? 
(Hedgehog's dilemma, anyone?) This would give reason to the masks of Adam and 
Lilith. And just because Lilith was once Adam doesn't mean that they couldn't 
be two seperate entities. To suppose that in the EVA world Lilith=Eve might 
support this idea, since although Eve came from Adam's rib, she was her own 
entity. Then, the two races of children of Adam and Lilith/Eve could have each 
eaten of a different fruit, wisdom/science for the lilim/humans, and life for 
the angels (shito, I believe?). Back to the main idea though, if all creation 
came from Adam and Lilith, and between Adam and Lilith existed the first and 
strongest AT Field, than the reversal of that AT Field might in fact return 
all of creation to its source...

I dunno', sounds sketchy even to me.
