The title of this post is kind of clunky, but necessary. When I first heard this news about a week ago, my immediate thought was "How long will it take for someone to email me that this specimen is from the nephilim?" I now have my answer. This morning my email box...

Subscribers to my newsletter know that I have been working on the first of a planned three-volume Reader's Commentary on the Book of Enoch. That first volume is now shipping on Amazon: A Companion to the Book of Enoch: A Reader's Commentary, Vol I: The Book of the...
Addendum to Peter Gentry on the Nephilim
I'm tempted to just tell readers to ignore my original post on Peter Gentry's thoughts on the Nephilim, because it seems I have misunderstood Peter's trajectory. But I have nevertheless let it remain on the blog (accompanied by what follows) since it might be...
All I Want for Christmas is Another Flawed Nephilim Rebuttal
A week or so ago I blogged about Dr. Peter Gentry’s attempt to divorce the Nephilim from the supernatural sons of God via a YouTube video he created. His argument isn’t coherent because it implodes on itself, as I noted. In more recent days (Is there some reason the...
Peter Gentry on the Nephilim
Addendum to Peter Gentry on the Nephilim, December 13, 2019 - MSH I'm tempted to just tell readers to ignore what follows below (my original post) because it seems I have misunderstood Peter's trajectory. But it's there since it might be applicable to someone out...
Is the Pseudo-Archaeological Belief That Aliens, Nephilim, Or Descendants of Atlantis Were Responsible for Pyramids, Mounds, Megalithic Architecture, Etc. Racist?
Short Answer: Yes (at least for some, like Erich von Daniken). Slightly Longer Answer: Yes, because some presume that humans in antiquity were so primitive they could not build these things without the assistance of non-human intelligence. Then, an elect super-race...
Nephilim Question from Doctoral Colloquium
I recently participated in a doctoral colloquium where students were required to read my book The Unseen Realm. It was fun, and I'm grateful to all who took part and considered the book stimulating reading for the colloquium. One of the questions focused on an excerpt...
Ancient Astronaut Theory and Racism
I've blogged before about how the theory of ancient aliens being responsible for the monumental building of ancient Egypt and other contemporaneous civilizations is inherently racist. The idea is basically that the humans of Egypt and these other cultures were simply...
Ancient Aliens Logic Lesson: Dirt Isn’t “Civilization”
I've had some folks send me the link to this recent article: "Data From a Dead Satellite Reveals Lost Continents Under Antarctica." This is followed by the breathless proclamation: "These gravity images are revolutionizing our ability to study the least understood...
Why I’m Not on the Bandwagon with Christian Nephilim Hunters
Well, there are several reasons that I could go into at length, but you really don't need any more of an explanation than this essay by Jason Colavito. What he's shooting at is a testament to poor thinking, shoddy research (biblical and otherwise), incoherent...
Wave of Egyptian Nephilim Paleobabble Headed Our Way
I just saw a news story about a 2,000 year-old sarcophagus discovered in Alexandria, Egypt. The coffin dates to the Ptolemaic era (ca. 305-30 BC). News articles have dutifully noted that the sarcophagus is 8.5 feet long. I'm trembling with excitement over what is sure...

The first four profiles and topics for the upcoming Naked Bible Conference (Dallas, August 18) were: Dr. Bill Arnold: "Israel in, among, or against Its Neighbors? A Singular Israel in a Pluralistic World" Dr. Archie Wright: "The Reception of the Satan Tradition in...
Paracas Skull Groundhog Day
This past Friday, Feb 2, Lynn Marzulli's second round on Paracas skull DNA was revealed to a pay-per-view audience. The Groundhog Day timing was appropriate. We've seen this before. I'd love to say "good job; thanks for doing the hard work on this." But I can't. This...
New Evidence Neither Aliens Nor Nephilim Were Needed to Build the Pyramids
It made me sad to even have to type that post heading. But let's face it. It's news to a lot of people. Headlines of this sort have been drawing a lot of attention in recent days: Ancient Papyrus Reveals How The Great Pyramid Of Giza Was Built. It's significant news....
RH Negative Blood: Alien-Nephilim-Hybrid Nonsense
A couple months ago my PEERANORMAL Podcast focused on this modern myth. Here's a pretty thorough-but-readable essay on the RH nephilim silliness. It's very informative. I guess at a time when people are willing to believe the earth is actually flat and all ISS / NASA...
