7--
As I understand it.. the giants of those days were the offspring of women and angels. What other power did they have other than being giant? Did they have the ability to fly? Did they have technology that allowed them to leave earth and create sometning in space? I'm confused? I realize they were part angel but were they not confined to this world?

7--I understand what you are saying and I believe it also. I've had little time to study as you have. You have helped me see things that I did not really "get." Sometimes I say dumb things. I always read everything you write. You are one of my teachers on the web site. So..thanks! Hope
Actually, there were two sets of stature. Our current 6-feet average stature is a degenerated stature to the height of people in Noah's Antediluvium Age, which averaged between 30 to 36 feet tall. To us they were giants, but to themselves this was the normal height, and at that time no man was 6 feet tall, for this degenerated stature was the result of the collapse of the "upper hydrospheric shield" at the time of the Flood... this former terrestrial feature had originally encompassed the Edenic Earth and percipitated "Gigantism" (giantism) from the amplified geomagnetic field and 30% greater oxygen concentrate produced by the compression of the atmosphere by this shield of suspended frozen ice (water), carbon and trace gases. Hence, Noah and his family averaged between 30 to 36 feet tall, being the original normal stature of all humans before the Flood. The offspring from the mating of the Sons of God and these 30 to 36 feet tall humans (the normal stature) subsequently produced the "giants" spoken of in Genesis, which averaged about 90 feet tall... these were the TRUE giants.
It is arrogant for Moderns to think that advance technology and knowledge of harnessing the atom are only a by-product of the zenith of our current Earth Age. There were past Earth Ages (as Plato has stated) with their zeniths of civilization that accomplished the same technological advances; note the following article...
ANCIENT CITY FOUND,
IRRADIATED FROM ATOMIC BLAST

Excerpt from the World Island Review, January 1992.
------------------------------------------------------
Radiation still so intense, the area is highly dangerous
A heavy layer of radioactive ash in Rajasthan, India, covers a three-square mile area, ten miles west of Jodhpur. Scientists are investigating the site, where a housing development was being built.
For some time it has been established that there is a very high rate of birth defects and cancer in the area under construction. The levels of radiation there have registered so high on investigators' gauges that the Indian government has now cordoned off the region. Scientists have unearthed an ancient city where evidence shows an atomic blast dating back thousands of years, from 8,000 to 12,000 years, destroyed most of the buildings and probably a half-million people. One researcher estimates that the nuclear bomb used was about the size of the ones dropped on Japan in 1945.
The Mahabharata clearly describes a catastrophic blast that rocked the continent. "A single projectile charged with all the power in the Universe...An incandescent column of smoke and flame as bright as 10,000 suns, rose in all its splendor...it was an unknown weapon, an iron thunderbolt, a gigantic messenger of death which reduced to ashes an entire race.
"The corpses were so burned as to be unrecognizable. Their hair and nails fell out, pottery broke without any apparent cause, and the birds turned white.
"After a few hours, all foodstuffs were infected. To escape from this fire, the soldiers threw themselves into the river."
A HISTORIAN COMMENTS
Historian Kisari Mohan Ganguli says that Indian sacred writings are full of such descriptions, which sound like an atomic blast as experienced in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He says references mention fighting sky chariots and final weapons. An ancient battle is described in the Drona Parva, a section of the Mahabharata. "The passage tells of combat where explosions of final weapons decimate entire armies, causing crowds of warriors with steeds and elephants and weapons to be carried away as if they were dry leaves of trees," says Ganguli.
"Instead of mushroom clouds, the writer describes a perpendicular explosion with its billowing smoke clouds as consecutive openings of giant parasols. There are comments about the contamination of food and people's hair falling out."
ARCHEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION PROVIDES INFORMATION
Archeologist Francis Taylor says that etchings in some nearby temples he has managed to translate suggest that they prayed to be spared from the great light that was coming to lay ruin to the city. "It's so mid-boggling to imagine that some civilization had nuclear technology before we did. The radioactive ash adds credibility to the ancient Indian records that describe atomic warfare."
Construction has halted while the five member team conducts the investigation. The foreman of the project is Lee Hundley, who pioneered the investigation after the high level of radiation was discovered.
So yes, in answer to your question... there was a past global technoculture on the Edenic Earth at the time of Noah's Flood, and this sophisticated civilization had technologies capable of extending their reach, travel and residence to other parts of our Solar System, just as we today have this capability (but on a more modest level); none the less, it reiterates the words,
"as in the days of Noah, so also shall be when cometh the Son of Man."Of course, this also means that theologians' erroneous interpretation that Noah was a primitive and archaic man in sackcloth couldn't be further from the truth, instead he lived in a modern society and was a man versed on sophisticated technologies. Even the Rabbinic Tradition of the Ark relays how the entire Ark was internally lit from energy generated by a crystal. Photonic crystal technology is currently in the development phase...
SEE: http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/0710/0710.4979.pdf In other words, we are
"rediscovering" what Noah already knew... Again,
"as in the days of Noah, so also shall be when cometh the Son of Man."-7
