Right you are! Great point, Texas Jack!

And depending on how you interpret Genesis 6:1-4, it was happening on a supernatural level according to the Book of Enoch, or 1st Enoch as it's often referred to, especially in Enoch's "The Book of the Watchers."

I know the book of Enoch isn't Scriptural, although both Peter and Jude quoted from it in their epistles, and several of the Early Church Fathers argued for its canonicity in the Bible.

I'm not equating 1st Enoch with Scripture, but it's clear several of the writers of Scripture were clearly informed by it, and, if you believe in the Scripture's inspiration, then the Holy Spirit had to have something to do with Peter and Jude using it.

Whether you believe it or not, it's still a fascinating read.

Didn't mean to go off on a theological rant, but this the Outpost, and anything can happen here.
