I lol’ed. :o
Recently got told by some hardcore Eva followers, that the reason why the Angels attack, is because Earth is theirs to begin with.
Supposedly - they couldn’t cite an exact source (either it was a radio interview or some hard to find sourcebook) - Adam and Lilith are planet seeders from some super civilization that wants to populate the universe with life. When these “seeds” crash land on a world, they turn a barren planet into a living one. Adam landed on Earth first, and gave life to the Angels. Some time later, Lilith landed. When two or more seeds land on a planet, the most recent ones are supposed to “self destruct” or something along that line. However for some reason, Lilith’s self destruct didn’t kick off (something to do with that giant spear thing). Since only one seed can be active on a world, the self destruct on Adam activated as a backup. When that happened, it made all his creations go dormant. Then Lilith created her own stuff to replace them (all the “real life” plants and animals; including Humans). Second Impact occurs tons of years later, which awakens the dormant Angels, who are seeking Adam so they can “retake” the world that was originally theirs. It’s not that they had anything against humans… just that they want to “live” too.
Assuming all this is true - the people who told me this seemed very reliable - then it fills in the major plot hole issue I’ve always had with the series.
I think a lot of that stuff comes from Evangelion 2, a console video game I’ve heard about. Supposedly Gainax staff were involved in making it, but it’s canon status is somewhat dubious. I dunno very much about it beyond that.
Edit: looks like this is the game I’d heard about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinseiki_ … vangelions
Thanks for the info source. 
Hmmm… well… I guess if that’s not canon, then the Angels attacking humans, will just be plot hole I’ll have to accept. 
Holy crap, Eva was right all along:

Wonder if this means there’s a lovecraftian monster at the bottom of that ice lake scientist want to drill into. 
They do if they’re doing a deconstruction.
