Huh, haven’t heard about the elongated skull bit. I’ll have to look into that.

The other theory is that the Sons of God are descendants of Seth and the daughters of men are the descendants of Cain. However, this theory doesn’t make much sense to me because it would be rather unremarkable if Cain and Seth’s descendants intermarried. After all, it’s not like they had any other options. Plus, such intermarriage wouldn’t produce giants (the nephilim) unless the genes for gigantism were already present in Adam and Eve’s DNA.

Then again, the theory that angels bred with humans raises questions of its own, like how on earth do angels mate with humans in the first place. This implies that angels (or at least the fallen ones) have a physical form and similar enough genetics to allow for procreation. Not to mention a genetic component the results in extra height/mass (maybe a gene that stimulates production of HGH?). Definitely agree that we don’t have the full picture on any of this.

They’re not? Then what are they then?

If one goes with the theory that Nephilim/giants are human/angel hybrids, then God tried to wipe them out twice, once via the Flood and again when David exterminated the remaining giants among the Philistines. Why would God want to wipe out human/fallen angel hybrids if their angelic parents were benevolent?

Evil spirits and undying entities though - not sure what really classifies something as a demon. God flooded the Earth to destroy these fallen angels that had ruined His creation…..but their spirit didn’t die. They were incarcerated in Tartarus, or the gloomy dungeons. But make no mistake, these were the fallen angels from Genesis 6 that cohabitated with human women and had children by them. Immediately after these passages in Genesis 6 the Bible goes straight to Noah and the flood.

If you want undeniable corroboration for this explanation check out 1 Peter 3:17-18. These scriptures refer to the exact moment that Jesus was crucified and what he did immediately upon resurrection.

“ 1 Peter 3:18–20 — The New International Version (NIV)

18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit. 19 After being made alive, he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits—20 to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built.

But in case you are a big fallen angel fan no worries - they are scheduled to come back (see Revelation 9:1-3). Just hope you are not around when they return.

Nor are Nephilim. They are the children of angels and humans.
