Another race?
Could there have been another race of humanoids that existed on this planet? While watching the Discovery channel several years ago, I recall a show that made reference to current times and that not all people on Earth come from a common ancestor. What they meant, was that not all people were 100% people.
I recall reading the bible, and it saying that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, and found them pleasing to the sight, and thus took them as wives. The sons in this reference were the Angels. i also read in the bible that it stated that after Cain was exiled from Eden, that he dwelled in the land of Nod which was east of Eden, and in that land, dwelled giants. I do not believe that it was referring to dinosaurs, but an actual gargantuan humanoid people, or a race of human/angel hybrids.
These hybrids were called the Nephelim
Who were the Nephelim?
The Nephilim (Hebrew: נפלים, Nefilīm) were a race that came to dominate the antediluvian (pre-flood) world, and are referred to in the Bible as the heroes of old, men of renown. They were reportedly the children born to the "Sons of God" by the "daughters of men", and are described as giants. It is also most important to note that they are mentioned almost simultaneous to God's statement that He would destroy the earth by flood, and it seems from this association that their effect upon mankind was one of the primary justifications that brought the destruction.
Ref. Genesis 6:1-7 (NIV)
When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. Then the LORD said, "My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days will be a hundred and twenty years." The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. So the LORD said, "I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air—for I am grieved that I have made them."
Could any of this be true? is it possible that there are people that still exist on this planet that have the blood of angels in their blood, or that could be genetically traced back to something not quite human? Could Goliath of Goth, his father, and even larger brothers have been Nephelim? Could there be genetic aberrations in terms of hybridization, walking among us?
