Evangelion relationship to Greek?

None of you seem to grasp the TRUE meaning. Evangelion was talking about man's quest to build the perfect automobile. In his quest to create it, he must violently DESTROY the opponents models without hesitation. It is written in unwritten law that this is the way it must be. God himself was quoted with saying "Build me a good car!" THAT is what the series is about!

Some of you need to get a fucking clue.

Not looks like.
The story behind the women created for Adam connects well with the first three children

Rei, Asuka and Shinji.

I managed to get most of the relgion referances in NGE, but theres one little point I didn't understand.

Somewhere in the battle with the viruslike angel, they are speaking of the socalled Pribnov box, which is he bunker from which they monitored the fake Eva bodies. In reality, the Pribnov box is a site located on bacterial DNA strands, also called the TATAAT box (-10th nucleotide from the first nucleotide to be transcripted to RNA) and works as an inhibitor (site where the duplication of DNA starts). Unless I'm missing something important, I'm getting the idea that Anno put some of the things in just because they sounded fancy...

The guys at Gainax do a lot of research for their titles...

I would imagine that there is a real reason for them using that name... that the item mentioned in the series serves a similar function in the show as the real item does...

or at least similar enough to justify the name.

I would find it hard to believe that you get most of the religious refs... and I don't say that because I think you are dim... but whenever I talk to my pal Taliesin, I am ever amazed at how little I actually understand on the religious side... there are so many obscure and tiny references that it is overwhelming...

Still, the religious refs are just for the surface story... and I think that's an important point as well.

Yeah, this is all well and good, but why Sinatra for an end theme?

Uh..Wow. Do you have any links on information about this "Khaballa" UncleMilo? I got a whole lot more information than I bargained for, and now I'm curious... Now look what you've gone and done!

The Caballa, Khaballa, however you spell it, is a Jewish holy book, if I'm not mistaken. It might even pre-date the bible, but I'm not sure.

Neon Genesis Evangelion in greek comes out to Good News of A New Beginning or Gospel of a New Beginning.

This is not doubt intentional, however Eva (as I've notice with other pseudo-deep anime like Lain) is very sloppy with it's terminology. It amounts to profundity though slinging around technical jargon (Asian education is heavy on memorizing and light on comprehension/ application).

However, to Eva's credit I think the characters manage to be deeper than usual.
