These demigods were likewise
accompanied in texts and idol representation by
half-animal and half-human creatures like centaurs
(the part-human, part-horse offspring of Apollo’s
son, Centaurus), chimeras, furies, satyrs, gorgons,
nymphs, Minotaurs, and other genetic aberrations.
Historian Andrew Tomas believes these mythological
records are “thought-fossils depicting the story of
vanished cultures in symbols and allegories,” or, as
Stephen Quayle, in his book Genesis 6 Giants explains: “The collective memories in the form of
myths, fables and fairy tales from various cultures
and ages of mankind are overwhelming evidence that the
Nephilim existed.”[iii]
All of this indicates that the Watchers
not only modified human DNA during the construction of
Nephilim, but animals as well, a point the book of
Enoch supports, saying in the seventh chapter that the
fallen angels “sinned” against animals as well as
humans. Other books such as the Book
of Jubilees add that this interspecies mingling eventually resulted in
mutations among normal humans and animals whose
“flesh” (genetic makeup) was “corrupted” by
the activity, presumably through crossbreeding (see
5:1–5; 7:21–25). Even the Old Testament contains
reference to the genetic mutations that developed
among humans following this time frame, including
“men” of unusual size, physical strength, six
fingers, six toes, animal appetite for blood, and even
lion-like features (2 Samuel 21:20; 23:20).
However, of all
the ancient records, the most telling extra-biblical
script is from the Book of Jasher, a mostly forgotten text referred to in the Bible in
Joshua 10:13 and 2 Samuel 1:18. Jasher records the
familiar story of the fall of the Watchers, and then
adds an exceptional detail that none of the other
texts is as unequivocal about, something that can only
be understood in modern language to mean advanced
biotechnology, genetic engineering, or “transgenic
modification” of species. After the Watchers had
instructed humans “in the secrets of heaven,” note
what Jasher says occurred:
[Then] the sons of men [began teaching] the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord. (Jasher 4:18)
The phrase “the
mixture of animals of one species with the other”
does not mean Watchers had taught men hybridization,
as this would not have “provoked the Lord.” God
made like animals of different breeds capable of
reproducing. For example, horses can propagate with
other mammals of the equidae classification (the
taxonomic “horse family”), including donkeys and
zebras. It would not have “provoked the Lord” for
this type of animal breeding to have taken place, as
God, Himself, made the animals able to do this.
If, on the other
hand, the Watchers were crossing species boundaries by
mixing incompatible animals of one species with the other, such as a horse with a human (a
centaur), this would have been a different matter and
may cast light on the numerous ancient stories of
mythical beings of variant-species manufacturing that
fit perfectly within the records of what the Watchers
were accomplishing. Understandably, this kind of
chimera-making would have “provoked the Lord,” and
raises the serious question of why the Watchers would
have risked eternal damnation by tinkering with
God’s creation in this way. Yahweh had placed
boundaries between the species and strictly ordered
that “each kind” reproduce only after its “own
kind.” Was the motive of the Watchers to break these
rules simply the desire to rebel, to assault God’s
creative genius through biologically altering what He
had made? Or was something of deeper significance
behind the activity?
Some believe the
corruption of antediluvian DNA by Watchers was an
effort to cut off the birth line of the Messiah. This
theory posits that Satan understood the
protoevangelium—the promise in Genesis 3:15 that a
Savior would be born, the seed of the woman, and that
He would destroy the fallen angel’s power. Satan’s
followers therefore intermingled with the human race
in a conspiracy to stop the birth of Christ. If human
DNA could be universally corrupted or “demonized,”
they reasoned, no Savior would be born and mankind
would be lost forever. Those who support this theory
believe this is why God ordered His people to maintain
a pure bloodline and not to intermarry with the other
nations. When Israel breached this command and the
mutated DNA began rapidly spreading among men and
animals, God instructed Noah to build an ark and to
prepare for a flood that would destroy every living
thing. That God had to send such a universal fiat like
the Flood illustrates how widespread the altered DNA
eventually became. In fact, the Bible says in Genesis
6:9 that only Noah, and by extension his children,
were found “perfect” in their generation. The
Hebrew word for “perfect” in this case is tamiym,
which means “without blemish” or “healthy,”
the same word used in Leviticus to describe an
unblemished, sacrificial lamb. The meaning was not
that Noah was morally perfect, but that his physical
makeup—his DNA—had not been contaminated with
Nephilim descent, as apparently the rest of the world
had become. In order to preserve mankind as He had
made them, God destroyed all but Noah’s family in
the Flood. The ancient records, including those of the
Bible, appear to agree with this theology,
consistently describing the cause of the Flood as
happening in response to “all flesh” having become
“corrupted, both man and beast.”
While I believe
the theory of DNA corruption as an intended method for
halting the coming of Christ has merit, an alternative
(or additional) reason the Watchers may have blended
living organisms exists. This theory is original with
me and grew from my desire to incorporate the
voluminous historical texts, which described this
peculiar history, into a consistent account that
corresponds with Scripture.
To harmonize the
ancient records, I came to believe that the overriding
motive for whatever the Watchers were doing with the
DNA of various species had to be understood within the
context of their foremost goal, which was to leave
their plane of existence and to enter ours. My
challenge then became to answer the question of how
blending various species would satisfy this goal or
provide the Watchers with a method of departure from
“high heaven” and incarnation into man’s
“habitation.” While I will not take time here to
explain every detail, I eventually hypothesized that
the Watchers blended species in the way they did in
order to create a unique body outside the divine order
into which they could extend themselves. The rationale
is that every creature as it existed originally had
its beginning in God, who ordered each creature to
reproduce “after its own kind.” The phrase
“after its own kind” verifies what kind of spirit
or persona can enter into an intelligent being at
conception. When the sperm of a dog meets ovum of a
dog and the life of a dog is formed, at the first
spark of life the nature of a dog enters that embryo
and it grows to become a dog in traits and form. The
spirit of a man does not enter it, in the same way
that a man is not born with the qualities of a horse
or cow. This creature/nature integrity would have kept
the Watchers, who wanted to incarnate within the
earthly realm (not just “possess” creatures), from
displacing the spirits of humans or the natures of
animals and replacing them with their own. How did
they overcome this problem? Like scientists are doing
today, it appears based on the ancient records that
they blended existing DNA of several living creatures
and made something that neither the spirit of man or
nature of beast would enter at conception, for it was
neither man nor beast. As the quarterly online travel
guide Mysterious
World, in
its 2003 feature, “Giants in the Earth,” noted:
The Nephilim were genetically manufactured beings created from the genetic material of various pre-existing animal species… The fallen angels did not personally interbreed with the daughters of men, but used their godlike intellect to delve into the secrets of YHWH’s Creation and manipulate it to their own purposes. And the key to creating or recreating man, as we have (re)discovered in the twentieth century, is the human genome—DNA.[iv]
