The giants were Nephilim
The Nephilim (Hebrew: נפלים, Nefilīm) were a race that came to dominate the antediluvian (pre-flood) world, and are referred to in the Bible as the heroes of old, men of renown. They were reportedly the children born to the "Sons of God" by the "daughters of men", and are described as giants. It is also most important to note that they are mentioned almost simultaneous to God's statement that He would destroy the earth by flood, and it seems from this association that their effect upon mankind was one of the primary justifications that brought the destruction.

The Genesis Story, "In the beginning", could not be taken literally through the first 7 days of creation. One could however look at the symbolism and its relationship to one being regenerated.

The Genesis Story, "In the beginning," could not be taken literally through the first 7 days of creation. One could however look at the symbolism and its relationship to one being regenerated. What do you mean? In Genesis 1, the Book of Beginnings, we read in the first day (verses 1-5) "Let there be light". The "light" was divided between the "darkness". The "light" was called day and the "darkness" was called night. Yet, it is not until the four day the Sun and Moon were created (verses 14-19). Also, as we look at the third day as another example we find that grass, herbs and trees were created (verses 9-13). These having been created before the Sun and the Moon was created. This becomes a scientific impossibility as well as historically impossible. We are then left with a spiritual, non-physical and/or symbolic possibility. In just looking at the first day verses 1-5 of Genesis 1 in regard to regeneration, (being Born Again), the Book of Beginnings refers to our spiritual beginning. Our earth(y) nature is without form and void of understanding and we were in darkness. The Spirit of God moved over our waters of natural, earthy thoughts and ideas as we considered God. Then God the Father Who always gives the increase said, "Let there be light". And we began to realize that there was more to understand than just the material but there was the spiritual to understand as well. I did not reference all of the scriptures that would indicate what the various words do symbolize as that would be quite overwhelming to post within this reply. As we progress through the first 6 days we continue in our regeneration. Then as Paul indicates in Hebrews 4:1-11, we must enter into His rest and cease from our works as God did and rested on the seventh day. It is my prayer and hope that this answers your question. D.
