The belief in the Nephilim is rooted in the Hebrew Scripture, in the Book of Genesis. Genesis 6:4: There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
St. Clement of Rome was a disciple of the Apostle St. Peter. He also succeeded Peter as Bishop of Rome (Pope). Clement first century writings record a teaching of the Apostle Peter about these creatures in context of the Fallen Angels. Fr. Jack Ashcraft in his booklet: “Fallen Angels And Nephilim” includes this:

This nephilim piece is ridiculous. Makes zero sense. I don’t think our RCC teaches this nonsense. It’s just Circus, freak show stuff. Have we ever discovered the bones of a 14 ft person ? … even a 9 ft person ?
We have discovered the bones of Wooly Mammoths & Mastodons …. and their big thigh [femur] bones held up 14 ft elephants in 10,000 BC. These are often found, were used by Indians/Eskimos to build their huts until 19th century AD…. and is the probably origin of early Giants on earth.
Folklore made it into Enoch …. and was quoted in the Old Testament briefly. Did Christ ever teach this as Gospel truth ? Lets major on the knowable, and minor on the forklore stuff.
Ask yourself this ….”Why did angels go into hibernation after days of Christ ? “
The article speaks for itself.

The same question arose to me: Does any fossil or organic archaeological evidence point to the Nephilim or giants or any of the chimeras/hybrids described in the article? Bern beat me here with those thoughts.
must everything in the scriptures be discovered by material science or fossils. Gods revelations are purely His wish. also are you trying to say there are errors in the scriptures? because to speak thus is to disregard the sacred Scriptures
