That's interesting, can you provide the passage or passages in the Bible that support this?

Sure, but know that I am a devout Christian and I do believe in God. I also believe as the evidence supports, that God intended for man to grow in our understanding of Him as we grew in our technological and spiritual world. But we have not, instead we have kept God in stasis still looking at Him as the image Michael Angelo rendered in his paintings. God is much more than that and the bible, if we look at it from our present-day perspective has proof.
Genesis Chapter 4:9-10 reads;
9 Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?" 10 And He said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries out to Me from the ground.This seems to give proof of a supernatural intelligence at work as how could the writer of Genesis, Moses, have know of Genetic signatures of blood in those days? "the voice of your brother's blood?" Today we say signature as not many ancient people used writing as identifiers because not many of them
wrote. Yet the voice was used in the scripture as a signifier of recognition. We know today that mother sea lions can distinguish the lone voice of her pup from the thousands crying out, as can penguins. So just like Dr. Henry Lee, God knew just from blood on the ground, who it belonged to.
Genesis 6:4
4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. The word "Sons of God" in its original writings says
Nephelim which mean "
Those who came down" or "
The ones who came down". This was the first start of an imbalance in mankind and it precipitated the great flood where in God started over.
Ezekiel 1:1-25
Tells of the vision the prophet witnessed. Many men far smarter than I have ascertained what he saw was a UFO. I will post a snippet detailing this from my book on my blog here.
The list goes on from dinosaurs to Bigfoot in the bible. Where we get it wrong is in our present day interpretation. We forget that technical words and language didn't exist back then. So many scientists instead use this to their defense by saying the passages are mere allegory in nature.
