Proof of Biblical Nephilim?
“More and more people were born, until finally they spread all over the earth. Some of their daughters were so beautiful that supernatural beings came down and married the ones they wanted. Then the LORD said, ‘I won't let my life-giving breath remain in anyone forever. No one will live for more than one hundred twenty years.’ The children of the supernatural beings who had married these women became famous heroes and warriors. They were called Nephilim and lived on the earth at that time and even later.”—Genesis 6:1-4, Contemporary English Version.

Too many fakes... Too many lies...
Firpo Carr
Could be. Jury is still out. I'm reminded of Piltdown Man, an evolutionary fraud. In any event, we'll see.

...You're right : We'll see. Thank you.

You're welcome, and thank you for the link. Here are three things I find particularly interesting:
(1) The Bible stated that the earth was spherical and rotated long before the ancient Greeks and modern-day scientists ever discovered these realities. (Isa. 40:22a)
(2) Also, the Bible stated that newborn males should be circumcized on the eighth day. (Gen. 17:12) incredibly, this is the same day (and the only day) that prothrombin and vitamin k are at their highest levels. These are blood-clotting agents. It took scientists millennia to realize this.
(3) Lastly (for now), thousands of years before modern-day scientists came out with the Big Bang Theory Prophet Isaiah chronicled that the universe is expending in a controlled manner. (Isa. 40:22b) Remarkable.
I guarentee you these are not hoaxes. So, although the article stated that the ‘religious want to believe,’ there certainly is good reason for those with faith in the Bible to believe indications—no matter how remote or even outlandish to science—supporting its veracity.
Again, thanks for the link. The entire matter is both humorous and, dare I say it, instructive. J day.

I think the "memory" of mankind is older than the science of Men. My feelings. There is many way to be "in faith", but one way to be "faithfull"... just love. This is the best reason...
Firpo Carr
IMHO I think it's more than genetic "memory," especially insofar as the expanding universe is concerned. In my book "The Theology Behind Scientific Thought (Vol. 1)" I go into quite a bit of detail. (Yea, I'm shamefully plugging it!) You're a sweetheart Bozeanne. Thanks for the exchange.
