The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Demons and fallen angels (renewing topic)

I don't see where there's enough information in Scripture where it would be the least bit plausible that the pyramids & other such structures were built 1) prior to the flood and 2) by fallen angels. ALL you have from Scripture is a few short verses describing how the sons of God intermarried with the daughters of men & produced renowned children called Nephilim. AND you have to import a number of ideas into the text that, as I've argued previously, simply aren't there or anywhere else in Scripture.

There's no reason to think that the paintings & heiroglyphics were added later by other people unless you've already assumed that mere men couldn't have built the pyramids. But you were mentioning that no records were kept, or that none survived, so that's why I brought them up. Certainly other records could just as easily have been falsified! But why make such assumptions? On what basis? As I've pointed out, you're building on a foundation of assumptions & speculations for which there is zero evidence. The traditional historical scholarship isn't so baseless.

And with regards to the 14-ton stones, if you take a look at the link I provided before, it is NOT inconceivable that men could have produced & moved these stones from local quarries. The Tower of Babel, being in a plain, it's builders probably did not have access to the kind of stone quarries which the Egyptians used for the pyramids, but they would have had plenty of soil & grass to make bricks.

Hi Kyle,

I read the link you posted, and yes, according to that, man could have made the pyramids. As I mentioned, it just seems strange that there are pyramids in other areas too, and that astronomically speaking, there is a real exactness to their postioning. I probably can't be convinced otherwise in my thinking. Another thing to think about, there were men on earth when I believe the Angels left their first estate, so men most likely were involved in the construction of these structures, but also the knowledge and help of "fallen angels". Seem out there for many, but for me, still makes perfect sense. Explains a lot of the other unsolved mysteries on this planet too and why they are located in so many different locations.

In Christ,
Hisalone

Personally, I find nothing mysterious or surprising about pyramidal buildings in various parts of the world. They're really just the shape of mountains, after all; a basic geometric form. You might as well ask why block-shaped houses are so common. Also, I don't find their astronomical positioning that surprising, either; these were people who believed that the stars controlled fate, so naturally they were very interested and well-studied in astronomical measurements. The Babylonians were quite advanced in this respect as well, and no one suggests that it's because of non-human influence.
