Does mainworry ever post comments himself, or does he just copy and paste all the time?
Genesis is the intro to the bible. It is full of ambiguous stories aimed at giving a meager beginning to mankind. It has preposterous stories like building an ark. If such an ark were built, It would have been a half a mile long. On top of that, it would have been built out of wood. And then... here's the best part. If the world were flooded, then the ocean waves would be so insanely huge, that no boat, not even today's American Navy, would have been able to stay afloat!!! Common sense dictates that you take these stories with a grain of salt. With no land masses to quell the ocean waves, they would be huge!

Genesis chapter 5 talks about the longevity of man at that time. Example being Methuselah was the oldest recorded living man at the age of 969. Methuselah had children at the age of 782.
Genesis chapter 6 talks about Noah building the ark.
I have read the bible several times and have never read where heavenly beings married beautiful women.

the king james bible does not say heavenly beings it says sons of God. the sons of God are those who keep the commandments of God
Ga 4:5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Ga 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Ga 4:7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Gen.6:1,2 tells the account of some of the angels in heaven,looking down on the earth and noticing the women.And they started lusting after them.Instead of dismissing their wrongful desires they came down to the earth and materialised human bodies and "they went taking wives for themselves,namely,all whom they chose"
As a result of this unnatural union (ie human and spirit) huge wicked bully type offspring were born called "Nephilim"(Gen6:4)meaning "fellers of men".Because of these cruel and violent creatures,the earth became a very violent place,so much so that Jehovah God brought about the flood which destroyed everything.However,the disobedient angels,discarded their human bodies and went back to the spirit realm.But there wasnt a place in heaven for them anymore(Jude6)

Noah’s deluge. To understand you have to start with Gen.6:1.
Gen.6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
The word “men” is Heb. (ha-adham) means “the man Adam” or his progeny. The word “them” is referring to Adam and Eve. The scripture is talking about Adam and Eve’s clan and not mankind. Mankind a subject for another time.
Gen.6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
The term “sons of God” means angels or fallen angels. The word “men” again means Adam and Eve’s progeny or clan. Satan was trying to corrupt God’s plan. That is, from umbilical cord to umbilical cord would come Christ. This is why Eve is called “the mother of all living”.
Gen.6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
The word “perfect” Heb. (tamin) means “without blemish as to breed or pedigree”.
Gen.6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
The word “earth” Heb. (erets) means “land”, not the whole earth. Besides God says, “to destroy all flesh” in Adam’s clan.
Gen.7:24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
Gen.8:11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
If the entire globe had been under water 150 days, where did this olive leaf (pluckt off) come from.
Gen 9:11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
Remember what God said in Gen.6:17, “to destroy all flesh”. Here God makes a covenant with Noah and his sons. Neither shall all flesh be cut off any more. Neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. Two floods. One for flesh, Noah’s deluge. One to destroy the earth back in Gen.1:2. The global flood is a subject for another time.
Some consider the plateau of Pamir to be the original Eden. This probably was the homeland of Adam's descendants up until the time of the Flood. Today it’s known as the Tarim Basin or Eastern Turkestan. This region is surrounded by a ridge of very high mountains forming a gigantic basin in the midst of them. It measures 1,000 miles long and is about 350 miles wide.
Ussher’s Chronology says 2348 B.C., Davidson says November 2345 B.C. to November 2344 B.C. for Noah’s deluge.
Records of the Sumerians in Mesopotamia., their King Lists date to about 3350 B.C., and show an ongoing civilization well through the period of the flood. Egypt felt nothing of the deluge, they had an uninterrupted succession of Dynasties. China's civilization during the Yao Dynasty (between 2400 B.C. – 2200 B.C.) with no record of a cataclysmic interruption.
So Noah’s deluge was a local flood. But there was a global flood in Gen.1:2. Study II Pet.3:5-7, Jer.4:23-27.
Psa.104:6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. Psa.104:7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
Gen 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
