The Nephilim? Im not a creationist but I think some of Genesis can be informative about ancient history if you read between the lines.

This, IMHO, is one of the most fascinating fields of study regarding human origin/creation. The traditional story of Noah and the flood is heavy on "man was doing wrong so God destroyed them" and light on explanation of who/what the Nephilim were and what role they played in the story. Either the common teachings of parts of the Bible have been dumbed-down for the sake of broader desimination, or a big piece of Earth's and man's history is being overlooked. Everyone knows about Noah and the flood, but say the word "Nephilim", and you get a lot of puzzled looks.
