The nephilim

No. . . guys. . . seriously. . .

How did the nephilim survive the flood?

You have never taken anyone's posts seriously when they disagreed with you. The only change is that you have stopped even pretending to dispute my points.

And there we saw the giants."
And we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight." This statement may have been figurative, hyperbole, typical biblical exaggeration, or an actual description of the sons of Anak, in which case they must have been about 100 meters tall. These are the same giants (the Nephilium) that resulted when the "sons of God" mated with "the daughters of men in Gen.6:4 Of course, these superhuman god-men should have been destroyed in the flood. So what are they doing still alive?

Umm... You're still responding to her posts - you just did.

You invigorate us, you silly dude - energy to spare.

I will read soon, however. Something wicked about science.

Haha, that's our Dustin. Can't address any of the other points, so uses humour instead.

Funny man, funny man.

Now, I guess that means you acknowledge the fact you're a little poor on the science side of your claim. Something being ultimately possible (in that it isn't physically impossible) does not in any way contribute to it being probable.

I'm wondering if I should post the biological impossibilities of severe gianticism... How tall do you think these nephilim were, chaps? Three metres? Four?

And I'd point out that their bones most definitely would fossilise, unless they were made from some sort of completely non-natural material. We're getting back into the magic side of things again!

RRrrraaaaahh!

;)

Cheers,
TGHO

Confusing "Possible" with "Probable" isn't a scientific problem but a semantic or rhetorical problem.

*ring ring*
"Hello?"
"Hi there, may I speak with the kettle?"
"Speaking. Who is this?"
"I don't know if you remember me, but I'm the pot."
"Oh yes, of course I remember you, pot. What's the matter?"
"Well, I just thought you ought to know something..."

I think you can guess where I'm going with this. :rolleyes:

We have no idea if some creatures existed in ancient or prehistoric times who never fossilized for one reaosn or another. We should never concluded that something NEVER existed simply because there is no evidence it ever existed. Do you disagree with that?

Perhaps not, but isn't it a bit hasty to speculate on how tall they were?

Huh? Probable means it is statistically likely to occur/have occurred. Possible means there's no current understanding of nature which prevents it from being true. They are not the same word, even if you play one of your 'semantics' games, Dustin. Not even close.

No, you just don't understand science very well. As you've shown time and time again.

No. It doesn't. Some things the Bible leaves out for unclear reasons. Possibly the Nephilim were exempt from the persecution of God during the flood.
