Just stop AV, you don’t believe in DNA.So you're saying the "daughters of men" in Genesis 6 are responsible for "conscious-ing" their husbands into existence and, ultimately, corrupting all flesh on the Earth?
David fought Goliath, whose DNA could be traced back to a Nephlim, who was the offspring of one of these "angelic consciousnesses."
True.
Angels are not, as Speedwell implies, biological creatures.
But they can imitate them, almost down to the DNA level.
I say "almost," because, when they [married] women on Earth, and had children, those children became giants on the Earth.
I don't consider this ...You are making an invalid assumption here. You are assuming that the angels wanted to and were trying to imitate human DNA.
They may well have been deliberately not but instead were 'improving' it, as they saw it.
And ... as the OP asks ... why do you think you're in the minority?I'm open to the idea of angels, but I have insufficient evidence for them, and insufficient reasons for them to exist. So I'm inclined to consider them to be fictional characters.
I could see them as mouthpieces for a supreme being, giving them a reassuring form to interact with humans, but there would be no reason I can see to give them free will, or allow for fallen angels.
I don't consider this ...
Genesis 6:11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
... as improvement.
All that DNA did was make them taller, stronger, and gave them extra fingers (and toes?); and it made them volatile as well.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.Read what i wrote please.
The purpose of an angel in the Bible is to lift the consciousness of a human towards God's will. Essentially a human enters an altered state of consciousness where physical senses are less important and God's will is more important, and that change of consciousness is described as an encounter with an angel. (This is just an idea in an attempt to reconcile evolution an angels. They are not actual creatures but an intersection between a human and God's will.)So you're saying the "daughters of men" in Genesis 6 are responsible for "conscious-ing" their husbands into existence and, ultimately, corrupting all flesh on the Earth?

Perhaps you just need to, as they say, let go and let God?A great majority of people have a capacity for faith that I lack.
Well I have to give you an A for originality!(I'm just making this up as I go, but at least I am trying LOL)
Perhaps you just need to, as they say, let go and let God?
I take it you're an intellect? (that was meant as a compliment and sincere question)
If you believe in angels and evolution, explain how they came about.
If you don't believe in angels, explain why you're in the minority.
So God created them unabridged right from the get-go?Angels are spirits. Spirits don't have DNA or reproduce, and thus don't evolve.
LOL! You got me. OK, Here's one for you: If you believe in angels and the kinetic theory of gases, explain how they came about.
If you believe in angels and evolution, explain how they came about.
If you don't believe in angels, explain why you're in the minority.
Perhaps you just need to, as they say, let go and let God?
QV please: Let Go and Let GodDo people say that?
I don't recall hearing that. But, different cultural experiences...
