Absolutely agreed. I feel pretty strongly that canonical scripture (Gen 6, Exodus, Deut 3, 1 Samuel, Jude, 2 Peter) supports the more detailed accounts in books such as Enoch. If one dares treat the text as it is meant to be read, that is. In fact, in antiquity the stories were taken as such by orthodox Jewry and early Christianity; it was only later that they were allegorized.

I came at the realization from two directions. For one, I was raised in a casually Protestant home, with not a very high priority placed upon church attendance, and came to faith in Christ in adulthood as a result of personal experiences and seeking answers, which I’ve found reinforces a literal reading of the Bible.

Before then, though, I was struck by scientific discoveries pertaining to genetic engineering, with one noted, potential side effect of genetic engineering being giantism. That jogged my memory a little, got me interested in reading up on the subject, and so here we are, discussing the matter.
