IKARI:“Once driven from Paradise,
man had no choice but to escape to this
earthly existence, side by side with death.
Our own paradise,
created by the resourcefulness that this
weakest of beings was forced to develop.”
FUYUTSUKI:“To protect ourselves from the fear of death,
to satiate our thirst for pleasure,
a paradise we created ourselves.”
UrsusArctos: Gendo is rambling on about biblical stuff.

And that's precisely what has happened since the beginning of this series.
