It mentions that the Nephlim existed in the flood and after due to breeding of fallen angels who took mortal women to be their wives and a race of giants was created and that they existed after as well. David well fought one called Goliath.
David was a giant Philistine, ie a giant of a man.
Giants did exist after the flood:
Genesis 6:4 (KJV)
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
But the ones that were alive before the flood died apparently:
Genesis 7:23 (KJV)
And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
So we can assume that after the flood, Angels continued having sexy-time with human women creating giants
The giants were EXTREMELY large apparently:
Numbers 13:33 (KJV)
And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

Glad we agree, but I don't think David was a Philistine. Goliath was one for sure, a giant of Nephlim origin most likely.
In the book of Enoch it talks about how bad God punished the Fallen for breeding with the humans not many wanted to do so after. Im guessing that's why the Nephlim did not take the earth back over in a massive degree again.
That's still inaccurate. Canaanites are descendants of Noah (Ham's son Canaan, Noah's grandson), not the Nephilim. Canaan, per Biblical canon, is one of Ham's four sons whose offspring founded tribes in what we now call Egypt, Chad, Sudan, Jordan, and Ethiopia (Genesis 10). Later God commanded the descendants of Noah's son Shem (the line that leads to Abraham) to conquer and slaughter their cousins, the descendants of Noah's son Ham (Caananites, Hittites, Amorites, Zemarites, etc. which all descend from Ham), as post flood all humans descended from Noah (per the book).
*Edit
I might add I don't believe this to be more than myth, but that's the canon of the story.

Meant to say "Goliath", had the story of D & G on my mind.
Well no, if Goliath actually existed, he was just a tall/large man, but it's very possible the story is just a parable of God's will overcoming all. But even in the stories he wasn't supernatural in origin.

This leads me to think that Al-Qaeda may now be affiliated, if not assimilated, with ISIS.
They're intensifying the chase after the girlfriend of one of the terrorists.
For those of you who can read the divine language
My teacher in Jap.lit keeps posting these articles that condemn people who make and publicize caricatures...smh

Condone the actions of the groups but don't generalize the whole of Islam based on those groups. That kind of baseless, uneducated talk is to blame for a lot of problems between people.

There seems to be some debate about that, as the majority of translations for that scripture put him at 6 cubits, while a few put him at 4.6 cubits and a span would be almost 10 feet tall, iirc.

The giants where not supernatural because the angles bred with humans, they just game out to be large giant humanoids.
Something like this size.

To gauge another topic, between this and The Interview, it is interesting to see how Free speech is being attacked recently. This reminded me of the South Park/Family Guy controversy where Muhammad's picture was eventually censored. The ability to limit free speech is the ability to promote ignorance and primitive social stagnation. What are the limits of free speech, and what must be done it protect it?
