No.. no they're not, angels are not humans. I've heard some suggestions that humans might be angels, but not vice versa. Time isn't really an important theme in Evangelion, so no, time doesn't factor into it. I wouldn't worry too much about the nitty gritty details of the explanation anyway. It's not as deep as it makes itself out to be. It really boils down to a lot of pop psychology and glittered up Christianity. If you really want to see that sort of thing, read the manga of Angel Sanctuary instead. It's available on emule and isn't as nearly as confusing. Just be weary of the incest in the first couple of volumes.
