**There are only a few ways this can happen... either some of the hybrids actually survived the flood, or there was another incursion by fallen angels. Another theory suggests that at least one of the wives chosen by Noah’s sons were genetically corrupt.**

Then God failed to see that one or more the Noah 8 had corrupted DNA? Or other people survived? The scriptures are clear that only the Noah 8 survived the flood.

But yes, if the devil had the ability to corrupt genetics before the flood, what was to stop him from doing the same after the flood? Therefore making the flood a very temporary house cleaning (genetically speaking)? And therefore making God appear to be step behind the Devil at every turn. Of course I don’t believe that.

God is merciful, constantly giving mankind the choice to choose between right and wrong.

As I said, there is no record of God rebuking Satan in Gen. 6; which he certainly did in Gen. 3. Gen. 6:5 lays the blame entirely on man:

“And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every immagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”

God’s solution in that case was: clean house, and cut back life spans enormously.

If Satan had the power to play with man’s genetics, why stop with size, when he could alter other characteristics as well? Goliath could have been not only huge in size, but also in intellect, being king of the Philistines; and designing superior weapons for his army.

As far as Daniel 2:43, we are seeing massive blending of races. But religions strongly resist blending. Simply put: the God-fearing people (the kingdom of God), resisting the God-hating people (the kingdoms of the devil).

>>> Then God failed to see that one or more the Noah 8 had corrupted DNA? Or other people survived? The scriptures are clear that only the Noah 8 survived the flood.

God doesn’t fail at anything... and I was not offering that theory as fact. The bible is clear that the giants were a result of this unholy union between man and angel... and that they existed both before and after the flood. The how and why is obviously not known.

As far as “why not” after the flood, the answer lies at least partly in the punishment that the guilty angels received... it was so bad that no other angel would dare do it again... but I think Satan himself eventually does. These are the angels that were bound in Tarturus for 1000 years... so they WERE rebuked... just not reported in Gen 6.

Also... no doubt that man’s wickedness was also the reason for the judgment... but you should also understand that there’s a larger battle going on. “for we battle not against flesh and blood...”
