1. The Bible claims that before the Flood, there were giants living on Earth:
“There were giants on the earth in those days…” (Genesis 6:4)
2. Then, the same text tells us that God, seeing “the wickedness of man,” decided to wipe out all living beings:
“I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast…” (Genesis 6:7)
3. The only ones spared from this global genocide were Noah and his family:
“But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” (Genesis 6:8)
4. Then came the Flood, and the goal seemed achieved:
“Everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.” (Genesis 7:22)
5. Yet, surprisingly, the Bible later mentions giants again:
“And there we saw the giants…” (Numbers 13:33)
“Which also were accounted giants…” (Deuteronomy 2:11)
“That also was accounted a land of giants…” (Deuteronomy 2:20)
6. So, the “great divine plan” to cleanse the Earth from evil seems to have had some... minor flaws. Perhaps the giants were excellent swimmers — or perhaps the All-Knowing One didn’t quite foresee the ending of His own story.😎
@1490wayb Unless, of course, you all have creation backwards.
What I believe actually happened is that the whole thing evolved to where people organized civilizations and religious denominations, and in turn invented Gods and the creation myth to “explain” how it all came to be.
Makes a lot of sense intellectually if you think about it.
