It could be, but then again what Neanderthal fossils are there that are 12-25 feet in stature? It was also stated on Discovery, that the percentage may have been lower than 1 to 4 percent of a persons genetic makeup, but more to the tune of less than 12 percent of the Earths population. I just wish that I knew what the name of the program that I watched was called, because it was really interesting.

If i remember correctly, it stated that most people do not have that particular gene in them. Also the historical records would be way off, because the time of the last biblical records of the Nephilim were not much earlier than Jesus' time, or was that Solomon. Hmm.... I have some reading to do.

Yes, that.

However, I would say that neanderthal was not the only dilutor of current human blood.

I do think that not all things can be explained. I obviously believe in the God of the Hebrews, but that does not mean that I hold everything the Hebrews produced to be factually correct. It is possible that there is some truth to those verses. However, overtime, it could have become something slightly different. Maybe not angels. Maybe angels. We cannot know for sure. It could be australopithecus or a cousin of that species that is referenced as the "giants". We simply do not know.

Read James 1:5. If it is something you need to know, it will be reveled. Maybe you are suppose to go into the scientific field and discover this explanation?

The great library of Byzantine that was destroyed in the ...what was it...Fifth Cursade? Maybe it was the 6th. But, anyway, I think tons and tons of information and ancient records were lost during that takeover by the crusaders. A shit ton of information has been lost due to Christian idiocy during the Crusades. That makes me a bit angry, to be honest. Same with the library at Alexandria, iirc. WHAT DID WE LOSE? We could have possibly gotten more information about Atlantis, ancient creatures, more mythology and lore, etc.

The picture in this link was originally created by a persons or persons perspective of some form of royal court, or King with his subjects. What do you see in it? Looking at the clothing that they wore, it is clear that these people were not cave men, but to the contrary, appear to be closer to modern man. Not to mention, that the tools used to create such a piece of art would have likely come from a period after man began shaping steel and iron.

not to be crass, but through what mechanism do you see a human woman baring the child of even one of the smaller, 12' tall, Nephilim/Nephelim/Nefilīm? The birth canal in women, even for what would be comparatively small human infants, is tiny given the size of our heads, and we already take considerably longer to mature outside of the womb than do other animals. Or even forget pregnancy. Sex itself would be nearly impossible. There are extremes of human anatomy that prevent intercourse. Even the most averagely endowed male of the Nephelim is still 2-6 times the size of the human. I dare say, no womb will be in any condition to bare a ginormous child after that night of "pleasure".

Even if you try to assume the interbreeding between the "races" (I don't think race is technically the correct term, idk) comes from male humans to female Nephelim, you are still looking at what amounts to artificial insemination practices when the body of the female is twice that of the male. Similar to above, you could ask if the womb of a 15' tall woman is going to be the most appropriate place for a human sized child.

Pseudo history and all that aside, this just fails on a pure question of mechanics...

Who is to say that there were never female Nephilim? The Sons of God stop with the Angels, but what is to say that the Nephelim were not female? The idea that our world is populated with more woman than men, could have applied there as well.

sure, I can't imagine they did it through sexual intercourse though.

Which is sort of what I mean. Even if we assume male humans to female Nephelim, it would have to essentially be a medical procedure aimed at cross-breeding the species, not the result of just natural interbreeding practices. Not impossible, but certainly showing a sophistication in reproductive/medical knowledge/practice not normally associated with the earliest of human civilizations.

12' is the low end though, his picture suggests there were 36' angels that interbred with humans. That's a hentai fetish as far as I'm concerned

Artificial inseminating, iirc, though the visual of a Chihuahua going at at German Shepard is fun.

If we're talking "angels", all science is thrown out, could just say "god magic" made the unions and births possible.

I suppose there are some underlying assumptions I'm making here.

God could have given them baby-dicks for the specific purpose of interbreeding with humans so that they go extinct but pass some genetic information into humans which God could have just done in the first place making the whole idea redundant entirely.

Let me correct you here. The bible referred to Angels as being as large as mountains, or as small as a pin head. If true, this means that an Angel could appear the same size of an average man in stature, while his/its children may not have the same ability to change their stature at will.

Pretty sure God forbade the angels from interbreeding...but then it's not like God's ever been that big on enforcing that which he forbids. In fact my understanding of a lot of Judeo-Christian mythology is that Yaweh plans to have his rules broken.

The ones that took human wives were also said to have been fallen Angels, or in other words Demons. This can not be pinned on God, but his creations will to do as they pleased. It was also stated that these fallen Angels did not just stick to sleeping with women, but took whatever they wanted to have sex with, including animals. I don't see why this would be unsettling to anyone, as people have also done the unseemly sexually. I have a friend for example who said that men in his country (Greece) have sex with sheep.

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. no expression 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)

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.

http://pregnancy.emedtv.com/preconception/can-you-get-pregnant-from-anal-sex.html

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.

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.

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.

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.

The vast majority of them are either deliberate fakes (all of the pictures, for instance) or the result of massive incompetence (the supposed giant jaw bone). You seem to be forgetting the scientists who weren't convinced by the skulls. The more reputable and the more intensive the scrutiny the better the explanations scientists came up with. That is never a good sign.

Appeals to "scientists" are also pretty bad. That's a rhetorical way of trying to piggyback on the reputation of scientists without naming specific sources.

I do mostly admit that. I think God, the same god of the Hebrews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, etc. is mostly deist.


I think he is all knowing and all powerful without being all-knowing and all powerful at the same time.


here's how:

God knows every possible event that will ever occur in all of this universe down to the movement of a quark (ha!...so many problems with that statement). However, he does not know the exact path each sentient being will choose among the near infinite possibilities. Presto: all-knowing but not all-knowing at the same time.

I also think that God rarely directly interacts with the universe. If He did, wtf is faith for? WTF do we even come here for if he is goingto wipe our ass all the time? Sorry if I offend anyone, but that's how I feel about the nature of God.

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.
Alright. I appreciate your honesty, at any rate.

I do mostly admit that. I think God, the same god of the Hebrews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, etc. is mostly deist.


I think he is all knowing and all powerful without being all-knowing and all powerful at the same time.


here's how:

God knows every possible event that will ever occur in all of this universe down to the movement of a quark (ha!...so many problems with that statement). However, he does not know the exact path each sentient being will choose among the near infinite possibilities. Presto: all-knowing but not all-knowing at the same time.

I also think that God rarely directly interacts with the universe. If He did, wtf is faith for? WTF do we even come here for if he is goingto wipe our ass all the time? Sorry if I offend anyone, but that's how I feel about the nature of God.
Well, this hits at something that I'm at war with myself over: whether there's anything more than particles at work in reality. If there are then your view could work, but if there aren't then ignorance of the volition of sentient beings would translate to ignorance of the particles that comprise them. Since (as I understand it, and again I'm no scientist) all particles in the Universe interact with one another in some way (feeling like I'm about to get corrected super hard) then ignorance of just one's path would make knowing the real full picture impossible.

That still leaves open a few problems.

Can god make predictions? Like: "If you let go of that rock it will fall to the ground." If it can then it risks infringing on free will, IMO. In this case the chances of you making any decision are predetermined and, while you have more free will than otherwise, god is sort of messing it up.

If god cannot make predictions because it sees every outcome equally (ie the answer to every question is "something will happen"wink then I would count that more as knowing nothing than knowing everything.

I promise I am not trying to bust your balls...

But those skulls are the result of head flattening:

ah, my bad, there are some people who see the skulls of hydrocephalic kids as being aliens, so I assumed it was the same.

thanks

According to the bible the Nephelim survived the flood. It was said that the wives that were taken by Noah's sons had Nephelim genes, which lends power to the idea of Goliath, his father, and brothers and why they were said to be of gargantuan stature. The very idea of 4 or 5 guys being over 10 foot tall seems strange in itself, but what seems stranger is that Goliath had to be quite agile to have remained unbeaten in a time of warriors. His armor and sword were said to have been quite the load to bear.

Men of great height of today at just 8-9 feet tall usually need braces to support their large frames. just something to think about.

I believe I addressed your question, already (object to my answer if I am not adequately doing so). God would already know all possible outcomes, but he would not know which path you yourself select from those near infinite options. And he would not see every outcome equally. Only at the single instant of the creation of the universe would he see such a state. The moment any reasoning being makes their first "free-will" decision is the moment God ceases to know exactly what exactly each being with "free-will" will choose. But he still knows all possible outcomes.

And it is far more complicated than that, as well: he can make super strong guesses as to the choices you will make based on the choice your family and friends make (ancestors, even) and the environment you exist in. But he can still be aware of all possible outcomes at the same time.


For me, that demystifies how "all-knowing" god can be while at the same time leaving Him some sort of "omniscience". It becomes a definition of degrees.


In Mormon mythology, the God that most Christians believe in would be a version of some of the beliefs of Satan. Meaning, Satan would know all possible outcomes and we would be forced to have to follow his chosen paths that ALL lead back to sinless lives. meaning, no choice to sin. "How is that like other Christian beliefs, then?" one might ask. Well, it would appear that most Christians belief in the God that knows all possible outcomes that will ever happen in the universe. then whence commeth free will? It is an illusion at that point. If God already knows all outcomes that we will choose, then we really do not have any hope of free-will in the slightest. What we have is a God that already planned out to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah before He created the universe. How lame and confusing as hell (pun?) is that? that's like the Mormon version of Satan's plan: all are forced back to God without free will.

Some (those smoke pot and philosophize dudes) believe that that is directly where God interacts: at the quantum level. I can stomach that. But, again, that's just a re-invention of Aristotle's 40 rings (man, it seems like I say that a lot, lately).

What if Aristotle really was right? God is pretty much the deist god. Atheists and Agnostics would be mostly right, at that point. What if when we die it turns out that most atheists and agnostics were right all along? God didn't interact with this universe and we were kidding ourselves? Meh. We'll find out...or not. Gaspity!


I just hope that when I die, there is something after that allows me to know all the shit that I wanted to know as a mortal. Man...that's really all I want out of existence. I don't care if I become part of some super consciousness God thingie or whatever. Just want to know who really shot JFK, if Atlantis was/is real, is sasquatch really extant, all about all alien life and their possible cultures/science/ideas, the grand unified theory (and actually understand it all), etc. you know, the questions that many people would like to know the answers to.

Edit - I started that search and it only links to porn vids. lol Abandoned. Deal with the fact that doctors say "yes".

I did?

So there isn't one single documented case, yet you're right. Hahaha, I say. Hahaha.

Yes, I am right. Why would I not be right. Did I ever claim that such a case existed?

What is it that I actually stated? Do you remember? smile


You already conceded that I was right, by the way. Not sure why you continue. Is there that much pride at stake for you? 313

Yeah, what I just said, you're correct and there isn't a single documented case you can bring forward. LoLz.

Next, the existence of pegasuses.

Says the guy who can't let it go. Let it go, I said "you're correct" two times now, from a mathematically point of view.

You do know that is a logical fallacy (I believe it is the inductive fallacy: You cannot provide evidence of an "anal only" pregnancy, therefore, no "anal only" pregnacies exist or have occurred. It also applies to another logical fallacy, but I cannot remember. Might be hasty generalization), right? You cannot demand a documented case and then dismiss my point if I cannot provide an example. You only need to be aware that it is medically possible...which has been my argument from "day 1".

No, you could not let it go. I am allowed to keep on because I was right. You keeping on is just sad...but entertaining.
