Undergoing review is a video titles Dr. Dan Biddle Interview with Roman Juranek – EVIDENCE FOR CREATION from which I will be reviewing the Nephilim related portions—also, I referred to, “Dan Biddle and Roman Juranek” since I’m working off of the transcript and won’t be taking the time to stop with every statement to see if the one made the statement or the other.
It’s noted, “I hold firmly and I’m utterly convinced on the perspective that the Nephilim were the descendants of Angel human relationships.”
The original, traditional, and majority view among the earliest Jewish and Christians commentators, starting in BC days, was the “Angel view” as I proved in my book, On the Genesis 6 Affair’s Sons of God: Angels or Not?: A Survey of Early Jewish and Christian Commentaries Including Notes on Giants and the Nephilim.
Unfortunately, appeal is made to Tim Chaffey’s book Fallen: therein, you’ll find my name (Ken Ammi) favorably mentioned since I assisted him with some of his research but since he ends up asserting very tall and post-flood Nephilim then his Nephilology isn’t biblical. I reviewed his assertions in my book Nephilim and Giants as per Pop-Researchers: A Comprehensive Consideration of the claims of I.D.E. Thomas, Chuck Missler, Dante Fortson, Derek Gilbert, Brian Godawa, Patrick Heron, Thomas Horn, Ken Johnson, L.A. Marzulli, Josh Peck, CK Quarterman, Steve Quayle, Rob Skiba, Gary Wayne, Jim Wilhelmsen, et al.
It’s noted, “I’m very, very convinced that Genesis 6:4 says that the bene Elohim, the sons of God, looked upon the daughters of men and took them to themselves and giants were born unto them.” This raises the huge questions: What’s the usage of the vague, generic, subjective, multi-usage and modern English word “giants” in English Bibles? What’s Biddle and Juranek’s usage? Do those two usages agree?
We’re then told, “the sons of God, the Angels, had relationship with women: which happened both before and after the flood, that’s Genesis 6 for you, so it happened in the Americas.”
There’s literally zero indication that it happened, “after the flood” and that implies that God failed, missed a loophole, the flood was much of a waste, etc., etc., etc.
As for, “it happened in the Americas” well, if it did then there must have been some pre-flood plot of land that came to be called the Americas much, much, much, much, much, much later.
It’s noted, “in Bible lands, where you’ve got the sons of Anak, you’ve got the Rephaim, the Anakim, of course Goliath is the most well-known Nephilim—who stood over 9.9 ft tall.”
The one who stated this doesn’t seem to realize that the sons of Anak are the Anakim and that these were like a clan of the Rephaim tribe and that Goliath was a member of that clan and that tribe, not a Nephil: we’re told that he was a Repha virtually every single time he’s mentioned. How could the one guy have missed that and the other nor correct him—they likely both missed that.
As for 9.9ft: that’s myopic since the Masoretic text has him at just shy of 10 ft. Yet, the earlier LXX and the earlier Dead Sea Scrolls and the earlier Flavius Josephus all have him at just shy of 7 ft. (compared to the average Israelite male who was 5.0-5.3 ft. in those days) so that’s the preponderance of the earliest data.
They then go on about, “his spear, it was 600 iron shekels in weight,” etc. yet, he had a guy assisting with the equipment. Regular guy Benaiah took a spear like a weaver’s beam, just like Goliath’s, from a 7.5 ft. Egyptian and successfully wielded it against him in hand-to-hand combat (2 Sam 23). Also, you can search for strongman or weightlifting competition vids and see guys who are around 6 ft. lifting 1,000 lbs.
Then we’re back to that, “they existed they existed before the flood and they also existed after the flood” which is false and based on playing the post-flood Nephilology name-game: when you can’t find evidence of post-flood Nephilim, merely assert that they’re called something else post-flood and that’s as made up and fallacious as it sounds.
Yet, it’s argued that such is actually the case since, “Deuteronomy chapters 1 through 3 is very clear about this Genesis chapter 14 has a leading king of the Israelites coming against several different Nephilim giant tribe: chieftains if you will and it also happens in the Americas.”
That is a tragically misguided list of assertions. The entire book of Deut doesn’t say a single word about Nephilim—that was about Rephaim: Nephilim were strictly pre-flood hybrids, Rephaim were strictly post-flood humans, and there’s zero correlation between them. Israelites didn’t even exist yet. And how that results in that it also happened in the Americas is still mysteriously merely asserted.
But the mystery is unveiled since it’s then noted, “just look in the Americas…there are 885 documented records that we have reported by 1,196 people uh of over 3,000 giant skeletons that have been found. The Smithsonian admits or found 17 of these, between 7ft. tall and 7ft. tall, 7.8ft. And of course not of all of them are of Nephilim descent, but some of them could have been from Nephilim lines.”
Thus, evidence one for Nephilim in the Americas is 7-7.8ft. tall skeletons and yet, we’ve not first been told why we should think that Nephilim were that size. In fact, the dirty little secret is that since we’ve no reliable physical description of Nephilim then their height is a non-issue and that alone debunks 99% of un-biblical Nephilology—the modern branch of which is just un-biblical neo-theo sci-fi tall-tales.
Other evidence is something about that Native Americans were apparently not sophisticated enough to build the things they built since, “what they [Nephilim] were doing in the early Americas, building these earthworks and they were obsessed with Sun, Moon and star worship.”
