The entire premise of your argument is slightly flawed, though there is merit in what you're saying.
Most male penises are around 5-6' erect. There are lots of men running around with penises in the 8-9" range which makes it near impossible for most smaller women to think about having sex with. Yet sex can occur.
A humanoid with a penis in the 8-11" range would be able to have sex with some women. Though rare, it is possible.
Also, you can get a woman preggo by spunking on the entrance, as well. Even leakage from the anus can get a woman pregnant so the "use the back door" technique is not fool-proof.
Additionally, the "womb" argument doesn't work at alll. Twins and triplets were had in generations past. Sure, it was much harder for a woman to survive the pregnancy and birth of triplets, but it still happened. So even if the baby had a gestational period that was around 10-11 months and was 2-3 times larger, it is still possible.
There is also the possibility that gestational periods were very similar (why assume that a mostly human creature would have a drastically different gestational period?). Developing sizes may have been similar in size, as well (if the "mixing" really did happen, then there must have been a mechanism in place that allowed breeding to occur). Penis size was only marginally bigger (why not? Gorilla males are much larger, on average, to our human males and their penises are much smaller). Etc. All could work out with all the problems you mentioned.
Also, some women and men take horse cocks. Argument has now ended, lol.
I agree. Seems as though the rules were "aribtrary" half of the time and the other half of the time, they were preparatory rules for even stricter ones (for instance, don't commit adultery became "don't lust after one another, as well" by the time Jesus came around)

Why not? Negative responsibility to protect humans and God's adherence to it seems to be one of the major selling points for Christianity.
Furthermore, if you have an Omnipotent, Omnscient, and Proactive being like Yaweh supposedly is, then nothing can ever happen that he doesn't want to happen.

I almost can't believe you just fell for the "lab coat" trick.
That's just a picture of a carving they have there at the top. It isn't mentioned in the text of the article, let alone presented with evidence about its period of origin.

You're leaving out the one equation that keeps God from being blamed for all of the bad things that happen on earth, and that is the free will that was given to men and women. I even disagree with the idea of blaming the devil for the reason that a person came on hard times, but that we were given the power to shape our lives. Should we fall no one is keeping us down but ourselves.
It's like your son blaming you for his winding up in jail, but knowing that you raised him properly, or him blaming you for every short coming that comes his way, when it was he that payed in full for all of these things. The Nephelim according to bible canon, were the offspring of the fallen angels, who had left the Kingdom of God according to their own free will.
For pregnancy to occur, the sperm, which are in the semen, must enter the vagina, travel up through the cervix, into the uterus, and then into the fallopian tube to meet up with the egg. Once this happens, the sperm must fertilize the egg, and the resulting blastocyst (fertilized egg) must travel down the fallopian tube and implant in the uterus.
Sperm are able to enter the vagina when ejaculation or pre-ejaculation occurs inside or near the vagina. During anal sex, ejaculation occurs in the anus -- which is not connected in any way to the female reproductive tract (i.e., vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes). But any time semen comes in contact with the vagina, such as by dripping from the anus during anal sex, there is a possibility of becoming pregnant. The odds are not high, as the sperm would have to stay alive after dripping out of the anus and making their way up into the vaginal cavity, but the possibility is still there.
emedtv? Hahahaaahahaahhhahahahahahahaaaaa. Good one.
Sure mathematically speaking there is a chance, effectively, it's not happening. Show me some woman who became pregnant after (just) anal-sex and I'll eat crow. Show me a butt-baby, none of this one-in-a-trillion nonsense.
How can free will exist if your "choice" is already pre-determined and part of God's plan?
Either God doesn't know what you're about to do (in which case you could have free will but God wouldn't be all-knowing) or he does and there's no way you can deviate from what he knows you'll do even if you have the illusion of choice.

What of all of the fossil remains? Some could be fakes, and likely are, but could there be any that are real? What about scientists that determined that there were people that could not be fully traced to our more common ancestor? Are you saying that the mural is a fake?
I asked you how free will can logically exist in a world where every event is foreknown by a Supreme Being. And more than foreknown, because it's held that God is proactive and omnipotent it follows that every event is chosen by God.
The way I see it, if there is a God as described by the Bible then he is responsible for everything that happens.

Yes. Unless theists are willing to bite the bullet and accept the disturbing notion that God is either powerless or negligent. Intuitively they can't, so they either try to make illogical self-contradictory arguments or ignore the question.

Well from what I read in the bible about God, is that he/it believes in free will, and its concepts are above ours, so no matter what way you try to approach fully understanding his/its ways, you will fall short. I also read that God is fair right down the line, nor does he control his creations, but gave them free will to do with as they wanted. God could just make us love him and follow him, but how would we differ from his other creations (angels)? I really have no answers for you Omega, because I don't know the answer to your very good question outside of going by what was written in the bible. Gotta go to the grocery store so til later.
