the Nephilim as being the Giants of old or Neanderthal man?
They carbon date things and try to prove cavemen existed that had no language or skills. Nephilim were fallen angel hybrids and very intelligent and strong with huge skulls.

I am saying that angels looked at the daughters of men and gave up their place in heaven and came to earth and materialized bodies and took the girls and had children called Nephilim. These children were giants and they were bullies. They were drowned in the flood of Noah's day and their fathers, the angels dematerialized and went back to heaven.

The huge skulls being found today could possibly be theirs. If the dinosaurs skeletons are still intact then the Nephilim may be there also. And men in their ignorance have never put two and two together. The Bible does have all the answers!

I am not trying to prove evolution...I am trying to uphold the bible with literal facts.
And the Nephilim does get talked about in my congregation. They are one of the main reasons for the flood. The world had been filled with violence

I guess I worded the question wrong as I am not trying to link animals to man..God created man as a perfect grown human being.

The reason it is called a missing link is because it is missing. Scientists have never found a positive link between man and apes. As one responder indicated, a missing link would have to contain DNA of both humans and apes. This has never been found.
I think you may be referring to so called ape-men or cave men. Time after time these have been shown to be fakes. Evidence now suggests, for example, that Neanderthal was just as human as us, and his stooped appearance was because of arthritis and rickets. Neanderthals are now recognized as skilled hunters, believers in an after-life, and even skilled surgeons, as seen in one skeleton whose withered right arm had been amputated above the elbow.
The Bible does not say what became of the remains of the people who died in the flood. If we resort to speculation about this, we are no better than the scientists who speculate that man evolved from lower animals.

The Nephilim were make believe. The giants of old were also make believe.
The Neanderthals, on the other hand, were real. While they had brow ridges they did not have "huge skulls" and while they were more sturdily build than modern man they were not "giants" but were short and stocky.
Carbon dating shows that they died out about 25,000 years ago. They had skills and tools that they made have been found. While no trace of a written language has been found, there is no real way to tell if they had a spoken language. Modern humans had no written language at that time either.

Where's your evidence?
What "huge skulls?" What find are you referring to??? Please provide a magazine article, or a link to a museum web page, or a published scientific paper.
Just saying "the huge skulls that have been found" means nothing. In fact, it means less than nothing. This is anecdotal hearsay, the most UNSCIENTIFIC method of supporting a claim that there is!
Understand that when paleontologists discover fossils, those fossils are subjected to exhaustive study. They are radio-metrically dated to determine what age they are from. They are tested for various elemental content to determine what the world was like when the creature was alive. They are DNA tested, to try and connect them with other, known species. The are cataloged by specialist that have expertise with other, similar prehistoric species. People don't just look at them and say, "hey, these look like they could be the giants in the bible!"
For crap's sake, consider that there is an entire body of science that exists for the soul purpose of identifying and studying fossils, and that the people who work in this field are learned scientists with PhDs from prestigious universities. Do you honestly expect them to throw out a couple of centuries of accumulated knowledge and adopt the "fallen angle theory."
Laughable would be the kindest description I could give to your proposition.

Theres no missing link God knows what hes doing. The aliens are the fallen angels and its a fringe subject that you will not find spoken of in mainstream churches. Yes in fact when was the last time you heard a preacher talk about the Nephilim of Genesis 6. To learn about them you have to go outside of church and do your own research and study. You have to go to the book of Enoch which gives more detail on the fallen angels. So yes it has been considered and been written about. Is it a missing link no cause it wont prove evolution to be true only that humans are not the only living beings created by God.

the so-called 'cavemen' or 'prehistoric man' bones are merely extinct species of apes that existed long before YHWH created Adam. The Bible says that animals were created before Adam, and a day in YHWH's time could be tens of thousands, perhaps even millions of years.
agape!

More likely Gigantopithecus fits the description better. It was about 9 feet tall.
Neanderthal averaged about 5'6" and was very stocky.

Yeah, problem is, not a single shred of Angel DNA has been found. And, Neaderthals werent giants.
Back to the drawing board. Gonna have to try harder than that to make science jive with religion.

You know what? I think you would enjoy reading some Rosicrucian teachings. You can do it online. No one has to know, but they definitely discuss subjects that seem of interest to you.
www.rosicrucian.com
Try the Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception, or some of the individual Bible studies.

Or they could be the death eaters of Harry Potter! Or the Djinns of the Bartimaeus Trilogy!!
Go publish that in a scientific journal and I'll give $1000 to you.

"fallen angel hybrids" WHAT??!!
"very intelligent" The present human being is as dumb as a box of rocks, so what is this?
Here's a clue...those telescopes out in Space looking for "intelligent" life...they AIN'T pointed down here.
