The primary goal of the following articles was to demonstrate that real observations of mutations do not support evolution. It also provides a truly eye-opening review of the history of flawed thinking behind the theory of Evolution.
However, these articles also introduce the latest research suggesting new mechanisms that direct and control living things. It is a beautiful thing to see that God designed in the potential for adaptation, not evolution, within His created kinds, but it also makes my proposal about day-6 and day-8 man look simply like His way of doing things. Further, the designed-in, trigger-able adaptation features suggest that men of large stature, the Nephilim, was simply available within the built-in modes of variation.
This is part of a series of updates to “S1. Genetics supports day-8 man”.
The following two articles were published by CMI in April 2016:
“Beneficial mutations: real or imaginary?—
Part 1 and
Part 2”
Part 1 is a fairly easy read although a few statistics are noted. Its brilliance lies in the way it untangles the historical sequence of flawed but seemingly plausible assumptions. This is not essential to the points I will make in support of my explanation of the Nephilim, but a very worthy article to read.
Part 2 is at the top end of my ability to grasp all the technical terms, but you would expect that in this very complicated area of genetics, especially when the latest research is being quoted. But if you hang in there, you will see some lovely insights. I will now draw your attention to a few sections in Part 2 the lend support to dy-6 and day-8 man.
The introduction describes:
“modular variation-inducing mechanisms having been built in to the original kinds of life. Beneficial mutations are real but they produce nothing new, only triggering into action the built-in modes of variation”
If a mutation can trigger built-in modes of variation, how much more might be triggered by the intermarriage of day-6 and day-8 man?
The section “Molecular systems biology” in Part 2 contains most of the relevant points. It describes how the modular components are like Lego blocks that are hard to break but easy to rearrange. It was the rearrangement that accounts for different sizes and shapes of organs and organisms... Isn’t that what happened when the Nephilim suddenly appeared?
The following section “The regulatory genome” describes the GRNs as:
“GRNs use Boolean logic circuits (AND, OR, and NOT operators) to process biological data at their ‘cis-regulatory’ nodes in an exactly comparable manner to that in modern computers. From these basic Boolean operations even the most complex switching patterns can be produced.”
My proposal was that the short living DNA of Day-6 man, when merged with the longer living DNA of day-8 man caused the growth of some of the offspring to be recalibrated, either faster or longer. I proposed that some algorithm built into the DNA was the cause and here we see just such control mechanisms (GRNs) being discovered, and better still, designed in advance by God.
My excitement is not just that computing like algorithms have been found that could be triggered to generate the Nephilim. We can now see that it is God’s way to re-use modules throughout the many life forms that He created. These modules are found in different types of animals. How natural then for us to picture the same modules being used in day-6 man as well as day-8 man. They were similar but different. But let me emphatically re-state that Adam, day-8 man, was not an adaptation of day-6 man. He was a brand new creation from scratch, and he was dramatically superior. But God re-used modules present in day-6 man as He also did in animals.
Interestingly, if you can accept that the age reduction in, Noah’s son Shem was genetic, as most do now-a-days, then the age reduction started before the flood but only shows up in Noah’s lineage at Shem and was therefore introduced through Noah’s wife. So individuals with reduced lifespan could be present and intermarry with normal 1000 year lifespan individuals before the flood. There now seems to be enough evidence to suggest that such differences could trigger adaptation in the modular logic driven machinery of life resulting in a larger species of man, the Nephilim.
You may not agree with my proposal as to why the sons of God and daughters of men in Genesis 6 had dramatically different lifespans, but at least some significant difference can now be accepted as the trigger of an adaptation resulting in larger size, occurring before the flood as well as afterwards, exactly as depicted by the Bible.
I hope that Appendix B3 will convince you to dump the idea that the sons of God are demons. I also hope that you won’t revert to the horrid assumption that it was a curse by God on His children—I’ve argued that to death in many places. So what will you dream up to explain why the Nephilim were explicitly seen as the offspring of the sons of God and daughters of men? What differences were there in these two sources of DNA that triggered the adaptation in just some of the offspring, even before the flood? And finally, why was it man’s fault? You get bonus points if your solution also explains the reduction in lifespan!
