There is actually an actual scientific theory which postulates that’s how we got our moon anyway. The meteorite was the Black Moon and it carried Lilith.

Second impact was caused when Adam was found in the north Pole and humans attempted to extract or contact it. It’s called the second impact because the cover up story claimed that the great explosion that shifted Earth’s rotational axis was caused by an asteroid impact moving to fast to be detected using conventional methods.

All this info is scattered throughout the show, and the movies, manga and video games. Wikipedia does a great job organizing all this knowledge. :)

But yeah – the Rebuild of Evangelion to me felt a bit like Star Wars Special Edition – same old thing with new special effects. One of the goals of this project was to make Evangelion more approachable to new fans – but after watching the first installment I’m under the impression that the knowledge of the series is almost “required” to enjoy it fully.

Oh well… I’m still excited about the Rebuild project – especially since it seems they will significantly deviate from the original story. I can’t wait to see where are they going to take it this time.
