The KJV of Genesis 6:1-4.

And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also [is] flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown.

[That's where you got the giants: the KJV.]

The key issue is how do you translate "Nephilim". The KJV makes it "There were giants in the earth in those days."

So big girls WERE hot then! HAH! Totally missed my era. Dude.

The Nephilim Giants

eta: a UFO site....

So big girls WERE hot then!

Nah. Looks like the men were still insisting the women be small (apparently God didn't have any daughters).

OMG those puppies look just like Beanie Babies! So. Cute.

(I know, of course, but I'm not telling)

Yeah, sure you do. Universe, we're pretty much convinced around here that you know nothing or you wouldn't treat people the way you do.

"true" humans in the sense that they had a soul

And I'm the first one to make a vampire joke? Nobody else remembers the demons that ruled the world? /gospel according to Joss

OMG those puppies look just like Beanie Babies! So. Cute.

I think they look like guinea pigs.

ETA: But, I am, of course, already slayed by the cuteness and counting the days until I get to see Durgin this summer.

Thus, during this time period, Satan's seed had polluted Eve's seed. The fallen angels trembled because of their transgressions and asked Enoch to act as a mediator for them with God. However, God informed Enoch that the apostasy of the angels was too great for forgiveness and they were to be judged. The Watchers aside from taking wives had corrupted the pure nature of Man by teaching him magical arts and warlike ways. Consequently they were to be cast into Tartarus and their spawn, the Nephilim, were also judged and it was determined that their bodies were to return to the earth in peace but their souls were doomed to wander the earth forever as wandering spirits. The Interlinear Hebrew Bible tells us that the benei Elohim, the sons of God, the Watchers, used the daughters of Adam as 'fit extensions', that is, as desirable means or instruments through which they extended themselves into the physical world. The spawn of this unholy union was the Nephilim, the giants of the antediluvian world that threatened both the physical and spiritual health of humanity. The 'sons of God' used the 'daughters of Adam' to corrupt human evolution by mating with them and producing degenerate races that threatened the Divine plan for humanity. They sought to corrupt the bloodline of Adam, to deceive the human race, and sought to prevent the Incarnation of Christ by polluting the race of Judah.

I sense a sitcom....
