Robert Wimer categorized his interesting article The Nephilim Were NOT Giants, They Were Abortions! as a “Bible teaching” (September 25, 2021). He describes it as “an in-depth word study reveals…a horrifying conclusion that affects our present day.” Referring to the Genesis 6 affair (as I term it) he notes, “the ‘giants’ claim would seem to …

The Israel Biblical Studies blog posted a multi-part commentary by Julia Blum beginning with The Story Of Flood You Did Not Know (i)—therefrom, one part followed, then another, and another, but eventually the articles seem unrelated to the original context and so I am not aware if she ever reached a conclusion. In any case, …

The comments I posted to the video are as follows. You quoted Gen 6:4 and commented, “note, they were there before the flood and after the flood” but the verse did not refer to the flood. In fact, the flood is not even mentioned for the very first time until v. 17—a full 13 vss. …

Yeah………….Jack is obsessed with tank-tops so I decided to match his style–and Gary made us look under-dressed ;o) I give credit to Gary since, as far as I know, none of the top-pop-researchers of Nephilology and Giantology have ever debated anyone whatsoever–something that needs to change, BTW. Bottom line for Gary’s assertions about “giants” in …

This review is of a video titled, How Tall was Goliath? (feat. Toasters) Of the “fearsome Philistine giant,” the video notes, “no one can quite agree on the giant’s size.” This is an issue because the vague, subjective, generic, and multi-usage English word “giant” is being used in an undefined manner which leaves the audience …

That’s right folks, we have the DNA—we have the DNA!!!!!! The article DNA of the ‘Segorbe giant’ sheds light on the dramatic population changes during the brutal Christian reconquest of Spain by the Strange Sounds site (Sep 28, 2021) is a perfect example of that which I term Gigorexia Nervosa (an obsessive desire to see …

Herein is a combo consideration of the effect that the Documentary Hypothesis a.k.a. the JEDP Theory has on Nephilology.
