    Yes, BUT God sent his son Jesus to earth. He stayed in heaven. They're the same but not in some tricky way.

    Haven't there been fossil discoveries of humans that were like 13 feet tall or something like that? I can't remember the guy's name, but he's an American who runs a fossil museum and he has found giant human fossils all over the world if I remember correctly.

    Godhead is very tricky.

    I heard he has three heads, spits fire, and can fly.

    Godhead is a very, very vengeful Godhead.

    I read the opening post of this thread and cringed at what some of the responses were going to be....

    Anyway, interesting topic, about 2 months or so ago, I saw a special on the History Channel about banned books of the Bible and they mentioned this reference in Genesis, chapter 6. What the thread starter said has been theorized by experts in the Bible or so-called Bible scholars in that angels mated with beautiful mortal women and their offspring were these giants. These fallen angels and their offspring were the "beings" that were responsible for introducing to man: make-up, shields, the whole concept of war and many other so-called "taboo" things. There's a book called "The Book of Enoch" which goes into more detail about this stuff if anyone is interested.

    Found a little bit about this:

    It also discusses the teaching of humans by the fallen angels chiefly Azâzêl:

    "And Azâzêl taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways. Semjâzâ taught enchantments, and root-cuttings, Armârôs the resolving of enchantments, Barâqîjâl, taught astrology, Kôkabêl the constellations, Ezêqêêl the knowledge of the clouds, Araqiêl the signs of the earth, Shamsiêl the signs of the sun, and Sariêl the course of the moon."

    I know I'm probably one of the biggest conspiracy theorists in room. I don't believe everything, but I don't believe everything is out of the realm of possiblity from things like the New World Order and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, the Opium Wars (the involvement of Her Majesty's government), USS Liberty bombing (Isreal responsible), MKULTRA, Lavon Affair, and the dreaded the Earth is still flat standard by the Church...have for the most part being proven true and accurate.

    Area 51, which I don't think necessarily is real base, but I do believe they are bases like Area 51, which are totally unreachable and out of site of the general public.

    But, I don't see how some posters can believe in giants or men being taller than 9 feet. I'm not saying giants are not real or ever existed, because the Earth is way too old to accurately know it's entire history or what things existed in the past.

    It is almost absurd as to beliving in little green men, which just as equally not out of realm of possiblity. Since, we live in universe with so many star systems and probably a number of them which are able to support organic beings. but it is all speculation.

    When it comes to the Bible, I know it's supposed to be guide or conduct of how to live, but I do believe deist bring up good point about some of the things it has in it (deism.org).

    When I saw the thread title, only one thing popped into my head in response:


    That's what the Patriots have been asking themselves since February.

    I do think it is possible giants existed. I also think people were able to live past 100 years as well. I read in the Bible that some people lived to 700 years or longer. I'm not a Christian, but I find the Bible fascinating.

    Scientists have now confirmed the existence of a subset of humanity that were dwarf sized, or hobbit sized, living in Indonesia(?) so why is far fetched that at one point in time there were giants?

    They did not count years the same if I remember correctly....maybe they were talking about Moon Cycles as a year....700 months would be a long time.

    To kind of add a little to this,

    If you look at the history of many civilizations throughout history like Sumeria, Egyptian and Mayan cultures, it is very evident that they believe that 'Gods' decended and taught them many things. How would an ancient people know to build a pyrmaid or how would Mayans know that a calendar was 365 days. I believe many of the things that ancient people came to know came from 'fallen angels.' Heck, even the recent Indiana Jones movie deals with Crystal Skulls that are in existance that nobody knows how they would have been made except the Mayans say that their 'Gods' brought them. I also found this website:
    http://www.stevequayle.com/Giants/index2.html

    Whether you believe in the Bible or not, there is certainly a lot of confirming evidence from many accounts from many different religions/cultures throughout history. Even in Greek mythology, Gods existed and mated with women. I find no coincidence in the lore of Giants/Gods (not sure they are one in the same though) and them actually existing. The author on the above website goes into detail about geometry and talks about how the pyramids, the sphinx, the grand canyon, stone hendge are all mathematically all related and part of a highly complex mapping system here on earth. I do believe fallen angels had a lot to do with the development of our society in the form of 'Gods' that the ancient civilizations referred to them as and thus explains many of the ancient wonders that we look at and wonder how they could have come to be. Really is an interesting topic to study the history of man and ancient civilizations.

    C.S. Lewis (I think) once said something about the "Universal Myth" that explains that all the myths of every civilization have a common root. I tend to believe that theory and that a lot of ancient civilizations gods and goddesses were either those fallen angels or maybe even the Nephilim themselves from the antediluvian (Pre-flood) world. It also mentions these fallen angels fornicating with animals and maybe (although this is kind of farfetched) that explains the stories of the Minotaurs, Fauns, Satyrs, and Centaurs. I'm just throwing ideas out there...
