Reviewing "Nephilim: Origin of Genetic Evil"

10/28/2013

31 Comments

 
Tonight Ancient Aliens is going in search of “The Satan Conspiracy” and will attempt to argue that Satanists have it right, that Satan is misunderstood, and that he was a heroic alien freedom fighter trying to help humanity against the evil Yahweh-Elohim-Anunnaki. This will be quite a trick to pull off since Satan traditionally leads the Fallen Angels, whom the show christened evil gods just two weeks ago. But at least it goes toward proving my point that the ancient astronaut theory is intimately tied to religion.

This, in turn, brings me to today’s topic: A bizarre religious documentary about ancient aliens and how they are really fallen angels who are hiding in our DNA.

Nephilim: Origin of Genetic Evil, a two-hour YouTube video by religious extremist Trey Smith with video supplied by Ancient Aliens pundit Brien Foerster and commentary from messianic rabbi Brian Hall, made my head hurt. Over-produced with a nasal narrator (Smith) and brain-searing music, the opening minutes set the stage for an amateurish attempt to scour the ancient astronaut literature for evidence in favor of the giants from Genesis 6:1-4, the children of the sons of God and the daughters of men. I can’t think of a single passage in all the Bible that gets more play among the alternative history crowd than this heavily redacted acknowledgement of a traditional semi-divine hero mythos among the pre-monotheistic Hebrew people.

I have difficulty reviewing this two hour video because so much of it is simply random words and sentences that Smith has spliced together from several takes without, seemingly, any rhyme or reason. There is no through-line, no attempt to form a coherent argument, just assertions that are meant, by their sheer volume, to overwhelm the viewer into belief in God simply by throwing at the viewer as much material culled from internet Google searches and badly misunderstood from physics and history as possible—a sort of What the Bleep Do We Know for Fallen Angels.

There is really no arguing with Smith’s biblical literalism. He simply takes every word of the Bible at face value insofar as it supports his views. Either you believe that Methuselah really lived for 969 years and died seven days before the Flood, or you don’t. He does. But like the ancient astronaut theorists, he also believes in the literal truth of everything in Mesopotamian mythology, except where it disagrees with Genesis.

Smith is quite taken with the idea of elongated skulls, which he simplemindedly believes are literal genetic hybrids of human beings and fallen angels. Such skulls had been observed in the making by the Greek doctor Hippocrates (in “Of Air, Water, and Situation”) and by scientific observers down to the present day. Hippocrates well-explained this admittedly bizarre but not supernatural custom: “The Custom stood thus. As soon as the Child was born, they immediately fashion’d the soft and tender Head of it with their Hands, and, by the use of bandages and proper arts, forc’d it to grow lengthwise; by which means the sphærical figure of the Head was perverted, and the length increas’d” (trans. Francis Clifton).

Smith starts by explicating the Hebrew phrase benê hā Elōhîm, the “Sons of God,” which is parallel to the Ugaritic polytheistic group of El’s sons, the bn il, the sons of El. This has been known ever since Sanchoniathon recorded in his Phoenician cosmology, “But the auxiliaries of Ilus, (who is Kronus), were called Elohim, (as it were) the allies of Kronus; they were so called after Kronus.” Smith prefers to assert that the sons of God should be translated as “fallen angels” and/or “Watchers,” obviously under the influence of the Book of Enoch where they are identified as such.

In an ungrammatical sentence, Smith asserts that “authentic texts” tell us that fallen angels are “extremely powerful entities.” Yup, these terrifying monsters were so horrific that they were into holding classes on the art of making “bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures.” They also enjoyed encouraging “fornication,” love potions, herbal medicine, and astrology (1 Enoch 8:1-3). So, in short, they were pretty much modern liberal arts college professors. No wonder Smith is horrified! HIPPIES!

In exploring the “authentic” accounts of angels, Smith is correct in asserting that the Biblical texts do not give the angels wings. (He needs this to be so to justify claiming wing-free human corpses are “really” angel-hybrid bodies.) Yet he also wants us to believe that the book of Enoch preserves accurate records of how hippie angels caused global terror and death through too much sex, drugs, and astrology. So how would he account for 1 Enoch 61:1 in which the angels “took to themselves wings and flew”?

He identifies the Neanderthals as ancient humans who each lived for 300 years or more, thus accounting for their robust bones, since they simply kept working out and growing stronger as they kept on going. This will be a surprise to scientists, I suppose.

He further suggests that God ordered the Hebrews to commit genocide against tribes like the Canaanites, Rephaites, and Ammonites because they had a “gene pool problem” derived from descent from the Nephilim. Rabbi Hall identifies the Amalekites as originating in a Semitic word for “vampire-like demons,” which he seems to derive from aluka, referring to a drinker of blood, but which first meant “leech” rather than “vampire,” an appropriate term of derision for an enemy. That said, I can’t find an etymology of Amalekite that relates it specifically to aluka, but I am no expert in Hebrew. Hall asserts in an impeccable bit of circular logic that the Amalekites must have had vampire characteristics (such as fangs) and spawned the Romanian vampire myth because otherwise how could we use the vampire myth to apply it back to the Amalekites’ blood-drinking?

Smith next tries to make the case for real giants, and he adopts David Childress’s classic bait-and-switch. He shows a human jawbone (the whole mandible) and compares it to a modern dental impression of just the teeth and therefore declares that the ancient (normal sized) jawbone (with slightly above-average teeth) was “gigantic” because how else can one explain that the whole jaw is larger than just the teeth? He makes the comparison still more dramatic by showing the mandible at a slight angle, emphasizing the larger three-dimensional presence of the mandible versus the dental impression, seen flat.

Picture
Smith compares a dental impression to a full jaw bone.
Smith hits all the high points of the Ancient Aliens and creationist classics: Akhenaten, UFOs, suppressed finds of skeletal giants, the Great Serpent Mound, serpent worship, Flood geology, shells on mountains, etc. Seriously? Shells on mountains? I thought that went out with the Renaissance. I guess if you don’t believe in plate tectonics then you can’t accept that mountains form from old ocean beds being pushed upward. Smith doesn’t accept geology, biology, astronomy, chemistry, zoology, history, or pretty much anything ending in a “y.” He wants to know how geologists can claim India is “tens of millions” of years old if Indian history only begins with Alexander the Great—oblivious to the difference between the geographic and political terms for India, as well as the long history of peoples who lived on the sub-continent. (Geologists believe the Indian plate attached itself to Asia around 10 million years ago, and the Indus Valley civilization was coeval with Mesopotamia.)

At this point, I had had enough. The music was too loud, the ideas too stupid and frankly too utterly falsified to warrant any more suffering. In Smith’s view all of world history is a demonic conspiracy spawned—and here I can’t fathom how—by the occult bloodline of the Watchers after the Flood. If the Flood killed everything on earth but Noah and his Ark, where did this antediluvian genetic bloodline return from? Here, I suppose, is where Smith wants us to see the Nephilim as a genetic mutation hiding sinfully in our God-given DNA, ready to manifest whenever sexual sin produces an unholy child. Thus can we reconcile the Bible with Eupolemus who reported that the Nephilim were saved from the Flood and founded the occult capital of Babylon before God spread them all across the earth at the collapse of the Tower of Babel (Eusebius, Praeparatio Evangelica 9.17).

But all of this is akin to counting the angels dancing on the head of a pin. The real problem is that Smith’s entire worldview is built on three assumptions that must be accepted to even begin to understand his incoherent ranting:

  1. Everything the Bible is literally true at face value and happened exactly as the text describes, with no symbolism or interpretation possible.
  2. Everything in non-Biblical ancient texts is literally true at face value except where such texts contradict the Bible, in which case they must be interpreted in light of the inerrant Bible.
  3. Modern science is correct only when useful in defending positions (1) or (2) and is utterly, irredeemably false when it contradicts positions (1) or (2).

If you don’t share these three assumptions, Smith’s body of work comes across as the random ravings of madman, for they are understandable (and perhaps somewhat coherent) only by adopting these three assumptions. I imagine that’s how someone at The Berean Report, a Biblical fundamentalist website, could watch two hours of this soul-sapping misery and declare it “one of the best documentaries ever!”

I guess the problem I have with the Book of Enoch is that its not accepted into the official Bible, if you will. There was a purpose for canonization. If one pretty much believes wholeheartedly that the Bible is truly God's Word to mankind, His creation, it's not much more of a stretch to believe that God would be able to give modern man the final result He wanted, insofar as His message to us.

Therefore, the Book of Enoch doesn't really count. Neither does the Book of Solomon, or the various New Testament-era books. If the goal is to find the truth about such matters as demons, then I think it's best to look for the truth where God has determined it's okay to look. I'm presupposing that God has chosen the final product, so to speak, through which we can look for truthful and accurate answers.

Basic demonology states that these evil spirits are arranged in order somewhat like a military army, with some demons having considerable more power than others, as is the case with good angels...Michael comes to mind.

There is nothing in the "approved" Bible about humans carrying demonic DNA that I know of. It talks in terms of bodily possession, but not contributing to DNA. The Bible does speak of giants, but various translations make it difficult to understand just what is meant. There does seem to be a legitimate reference to angels having sexual relations with humans, possibly resulting in giants, but there is debate about the exact meaning about the kind of offspring produced.

I see nothing in the Bible that suggests God wanted to destroy mankind because of faulty DNA...I think it likely any human/angel/giant DNA dribbled away. Itt was because of inherent wickedness in most humans that He wanted to destroy us. In other words, the days of Noah were probably somewhat like today. Few people found favor in the eyes of the Lord, then, and it is so again, today.

Wickedness prevails in our Nation when a sitting President openly pushes for government-sanctioned homosexual unions, for example. Where did Obama get the idea? Certainly not in church. It turns out that, like Dubya, he is a Wolf in Sheep's Clothing...a common evil man, apparently without redemption. (Again, when something's obvious, it's not a judgment.)

The whole gays being an abomination in the bible is the men lying with men in the same way as women bit right? So what if they going doggy style? Is it still an abomination or are they just getting in trouble for not going missionary?

Personally, I interpret it as forbidding men from having vaginal sex with other men- which, for most human beings, is a morphological impossibility anyway.

Either way, Leviticus also forbids eating shellfish and pork, so if you're going to march against homosexual union on biblical grounds, you'll have to march against Red Lobster and Long John Silvers as well.

Well, biblical David was chosen by god to rule his people. He had hundreds of wives, others and concubines to cavort with, yet, he seemed to turn away from these women and instead romped with his friend Jonathan - David's Lamentation - 'O Jonathan, laid low in death! I grieve for you, Jonathan my brother; dear and delightful you were to me; your love for me was was wonderful, surpassing the love of women.'

Is too much being read into the above? The biblical 'god' didn't reprimand David for his homosexual unity with Jonathan.

Yet homosexual acts amongst both women and men were regarded as an abomination. Perhaps it depends on who is engaging in these acts.

There was a book on the church and gay marriage, very very dry read but it provided evidence the early church wasn't so antigay.

Besides, god hates figs not f*gs.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.

Yes, Gunn, there was a reason for canonization. More than one, in fact. In Christianity's early days, there were many sub-groups with their own interpretations, teachings and traditions they considered as the "true" representation of the faith. To unify the faith, the Bible as we know it, was composed of those gospels that were the most popular or that specifically featured the life and deeds of Christ. All others were labeled apocryphal and subsequently destroyed or buried. However, just as in the Grapes of Wrath, the best laid plans went astray. That's why such apocryphal texts as the Gospel of Judas or the Gospel of Mary Magdalene have been discovered centuries later. I believe that much of God's intended word has been lost, due to the decisions of man.

Despite your disclaimer, you did render judgement. You disagree with Obama's policy on marriage, which is fine, but just because someone's ideology doesn't jive with your own doesn't make them evil, without redemption. Your world must be Hell on Earth if anyone disagreeing with you equates to evil.

I can agree with your Noah statement. I found a comment by someone on another site that sums up the alternate history/ancient alien mentality quite accurately, "People believe whatever they hear...as long as it isn't God or Jesus, cause that is 'dumb and stupid' ".

One might also note that the Bible as it stands today was also ordered to be compiled by a man who was not Christian. Constantine I was not baptized until he was on his deathbed and some accounts that I have heard (but cannot verify) claim that his baptism was done against his express wishes. It is known, however, that Constantine postponed his baptism several times.

On another note, one of my best friends is an ordained Reverend (I myself am an atheist) and he often discusses how he dislikes how extremists and homophobic Christians turn to Leviticus for support. He has made it clear to me on a number of occasions that Jesus specifically states that those that follow his teachings are entering into a NEW covenant with God one entirely separate from the OLD covenant. The rules of Leviticus do not apply to people claiming to be Christian. That's his take on it, anyway.

I personally don't see the issue... legal marriage and religious marriage are two very different things. Legal marriage has to do with taxes and legal and medical decisions. It is in no way religious. It just lets the government know that two people are committed to sharing their income and take legal responsibility for one another. Same sex marriage laws do NOT require religious institutions to perform same sex marriage ceremonies.

Well, to clarify, I meant without current redemption, not without possibility of redemption. And what he is openly welcoming into society is considered by a great host of people to be evil. So, is Obama an evil person? Yes, we all are without Christ's redemption. Are any good, Only Me? Sorry...no, not one.

Thanks for the clarification.

I was just sharing some historical knowledge about the faith, for those, including many Christians, that may not be familiar. Due to the actions of early leaders' decisions about which texts were kept or banned, I believe it explains many of the inconsistencies many find in the Bible. One classic example is Jesus proclaiming that he had greater authority over demons than Solomon, referencing a story of Solomon commanding demons via a magic ring. Since this background story of Solomon isn't found in today's Bible, it has left many questioning exactly what Jesus meant. Again, I have to wonder how many early Christian texts have been lost to time.

I'll leave off the discussion of good, evil and redemption, as I don't think this is place for it. Not my blog, you know?

The final choice of which scrolls would be compiled into one book was made by one single man. Ultimatly the cannonization was based upon what one man believed was truth and what he did not believe or didn't want to believe.

The stupidity if leaving out books like jubilee, jasher and enoch is well seen since the "bible" actually quotes from these very books.

Dietary requirements are a whole different matter. Homosexuality, transgenderisim and bestiality are abomonations. Big difference there.

You no clue as to what you are talking about, The Book Of Enoch is TOTALLY VALID! The Church Fathers who decided (not God) to remove this book did so for very specific reasons which had nothing to do with the books validity. Most of Jesus disciples read from the book of Enoch you can even find verses taken from this book and added to the bible (word for word) so it's obvious that during the time of Jesus this book was widely read and accepted as legitimate by some of the most credible believers that have ever graced this earth. Do some research before you make uneducated statements.

In my opinion, all gods and demons are just made up fantasy. Humans invented god to explain things they did not understand. Imagine some kid, like I know I was way back, constantly asking Dad why the sky was blue. In utter frustration, including the supposed standard (Go ask your mother, line) he finally, in desperation says, "Because that is how god made it." End of any further questioning/argument, as we "cannot" (really?) argue any more after that.
Just my own 2 cents worth.

I do believe OR, is there a profound difference between the wrathful, demanding, jealous, bribe-prone, magician, war-mongering etc. etc. very human biblical 'god' or probably of Annunakai origin which we refer to as 'He', AND/OR a POWERFUL, universal, definitive, invisible, omnipresent, all-pervading intelligent consciousness 'GOD'-force/energy which is unknowable 'in its total nature' to we/us, 'unaware' human/ organic/biological creatures?

Unless of course we become aware of 'ITS' exitence linked to our existence which would then lead to our unconditional acceptance and belief in 'ITS' power to manipulate every aspect of our existence. Could this be a 'Universal Secret' which we are meant to discover. The real 'GOD' force?

Pretending to believe is useless, Absolute 'acceptance and faith' is the operative state. That's probably where the saying 'FAITH CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS' originates. However to acquire this knowledge acceptance and faith is experiential which triggers awareness.

What are your thoughts or experiences, or have you heard of experiences by others of this phenomenon?

10/29/2013 01:33:35 pm

No, you acquire this knowledge that triggers awareness through hearing God's Word, not through an experiential process...unless it is an experiential process pushing an act of faith in reaching out to God.

The awareness of God's unlimited power is what can move mountains, through faith. Jesus went to the cross willingly, after defeating death and Satan. He knows all about removing mountains, and can walk on water and walk through walls.

He sees through the walls of your chest and sees your heart. The beating of your heart is within God's control. God is Love.

On the other hand, Satan is a very real spiritual entity, and he would like to destroy you. Why? Just for kicks? How would your destruction satisfy him?

One is for you, the other is against you. That's the way it's set up. Believe it or don't believe it. The free choice is yours.

If one believes in a real God, and believes the Bible is His Word, that person will usually also believe in the real personhood of Satan. After all, who was it that Jesus defeated?

I guess you could always experiment with finding God...that's certainly better than declaring (too knowingly, and openly) that He doesn't exist. Some here even scoff at the idea of His existence. To me, this is both brazen and fool-hearty

Methuselah was 81 years old, not 969 as stated. During the time before Julius Cesar all time was in lunar months which represented a year. This change in time was about 50 BC and stories that were passed down were not translated to their correct date. This real time also must be applied to the lost city of Atlantis by taking the time of Plato and dividing 10,000 by 12 and adding this number to Plato's date. This will generate a date of about 5000 BC.
When God created the world on the first day he said (Let their be light), on the second day he created the heavens and earth, on the third day he put the planets in orbit with the earth, on the forth day he created the sun to separate day and night. on the sixth day he created man. (What kind of light was he talking about on the first day if he did not create the sun until the forth day?)
In the book of Enoch God took man up in the golden chariot and told him how to navigate using the sun, moon and stars. Note: He said moon before the stars. By using the center stones at Stonehenge to determine mid day or solstice you could also observe the position of the moon in each of the 30 windows created by the standing stones. When 30 days passed the moon would have made its 28.6 day travel (one year) in ancient times.

Mahalellel (butchering his name I'm sure) was 65 when he had his first son, how old would that make him in lunar years? Lol nice theory though.
And as far as the sun on the 4th day, God is light he doesn't need the sun to make light. He probably did make the sun later on because he knew how many cultures would worship it so he delayed making it showing he was to be worshipped and not the sun.

I can understand the scepticism, but when you take all the ancient texts together not just the bible the guy does make a lot of great points. Besides many of the people he mentions are in fact historical such as nimrod and King David. The giant aspect is also historically accurate just looking at the evidence here in the united states and the supposed native American burial grounds where skeletons where found to be accurate though not as large as those written about in ancient texts. The remains in America were anywhere from 7 to 12 foot in height which considering the average height even among Europeans at that time was about 5.5 feet tall. Regardless of what anyone including myself may believe the subject does deserve more investigation.

I remember hearing stories of small secret military units (the locals description), who would show up to sites (museums, libraries etc. in places like IRAQ etc.), and either leave all the artifacts held within in complete rubble or the majority of these artifacts disappeared never to be seen again.

What these artifacts actually represented or proved is of course a mystery but also at the same time creates the simple question of "Why". Which anyone with an imagination could think of answers that would leave one busy for years.

I know if you were to Google Earth (GE) "Mt. Sinai", you'll have the "small" challenge of trying to find the real or biblical mountain. It's there, not to challenging to find which is why I stated it as a small challenge. It does appear it was attempted to be overlooked or possibly hidden I guess, but if that is so then the attempt was a very weak attempt at best.

I find it interesting as well that there is, what appears to be pretty big, an altar which is biblical to of been used for worship towards a golden calf. I would think anyone wouldn't find it unreasonable to find drawings and carvings of a GOLD CALF, not only on the altar, but also all around the base of the mountain.

Also not to far from this site, if I recall correctly, is the biblical mentioned rock that Moses was able to split to bring forth water for them to drink. The footage i've seen of this rock, looks to be exactly what they say it to be. What is most fascinating about this spot, is the evidence of high pressured liquid of some sort that appears to of come from that rock. That's not all though, there's evidence of a now dried up spot, where a fairly big body of liquid was obviously present in the past coming directly from the rock.

Ron Wyatt, who seems to be the biggest party of locating and finding most of these biblical sites, including Noah's Ark in Turkey. Here is when science and biblical (dare I say religion) meet to work together in finding the truth of what it is that is being observed. There is footage, documents and governmental expression that is clearly overlooked heavily by everybody that has the slightest control over what is placed in front of our eyes.

I didn't intend for this post to be this long, but I find it extremely difficult to keep believing ANYBODY who has and continues to LIE to me or anybody for any reason. I would rather my heart be broken by your words of truth, than my heart filled with love from an absolute lie. From my personal experience, the truth is more comforting than just about anything I can think of at this current moment.

Thanks for listening to my opinion on matters of which truth will once again shine bright.



p.s.
My opinion, Science seems to have a problem with religious based individuals because of the main reason (or excuse), "God did it, so lets quit trying". From the believers in scientific fields that I have observed and researched, they alone go against this so-called reason because they didn't come to that conclusion of quitting. What they did do was dig deeper to find more. Age will creep up at some point for everybody which is clearly a reasonable excuse to hang up the lab coat. Thanks agian

The video is eccentric, no doubt. This review is merely sarcastic bash on it, rather than a fact check. I was hoping to see a little more hard evidence. The elongated head explanation by wraps was addressed in the video, so repeating Hippocrates same explanation doesn't really help shed light on the missing back skull plate that should connect to the two sides.
I'm a bit curious about the statement, "alternative history crowd." A bit condescending to those that don't take, at face value, the popular explanations of the times. That 'us vs them' mentality escapes me.
