Has anyone ever considered this aspect of the Bible and Aliens? See Genesis 6 and consider the idea of theology and astrology crossing streams....
The passage suggests nothing of the kind.Dust McAlan said:Indeed, the chapter in question notes that there "were giants [nephilim] in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men..." decidedly inferencing the idea that the nephilim were there BEFORE man, and came to them after the fact.
Pale Horse said:Yes, that is one theory. The "Darabont" draft makes reference to them as well on page 125, when they are speaking through Oxley.
Begs the question, have "giants" been found in the regions of the mid east, or the Amazon Basin.
Dust McAlan said:People, I think, will discuss it, but should you bring it up in any "serious" scientific conversation, it'll be laughed at and dismissed.

While not as fantastic as the stage you've set, the traditions and accumulated knowledge may simply have been lost/destroyed or recorded on an unsustainable format...like betamax.Sarika said:They already possessed the knowledge. They didn't struggle for centuries learning it or developing thier abilities and knowledge. They had it already in their memory or what was passed down to them from a greater time on Earth, from those who survived that deluge.
teampunk said:the giants in the bible sound a whole lot like the titans in greek mythology.
indyt said:... I have studied Gen 6 with intensity. Being a Christian, I believe that fallen angels co-habitated with women and the neph were produced. ... It is really an interesting study. Would make a great Indy movie!
The Bible said:He answered, "You're off base on two counts: You don't know your Bibles, and you don't know how God works. At the resurrection we're beyond marriage. As with the angels, all our ecstasies and intimacies then will be with God. And regarding your speculation on whether the dead are raised or not, don't you read your Bibles? The grammar is clear: God says, 'I am?not was?the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob.' The living God defines himself not as the God of dead men, but of the living."
Rocket Surgeon said:I'd love to know on what basis you contend: "They didn't struggle for centuries learning it or developing thier abilities and knowledge."
Pale Horse said:Indeed it is, and I am not contending with you (we're more alike than you know) but ...
It's been made clear in the scriptures that the angels are not given to intimacy...therefore you can not have demonic relations of a procreating nature...
