Actually, dude, the way that section of narratives is structurally designed,

Genesis 6.1.4 is the matching corresponding panel to the snake and the woman in Genesis 3.

So the sons of Elohim, seeing that the daughters of Adam are good and they take them for themselves,

is this inversion of the woman, seeing that the tree was good for eating,

taking for herself under the instigation of a spiritual being.

In Genesis 6.4, it's reversed. It's the spiritual being to take the women,

because they're good in their eyes. And so there are inversions.

One is a human failure at the instigation of a spiritual being.

This one is a spiritual being failure because of these women.

And those two are the bookends of rebellion that necessitate the flood story.

So I think they actually illuminate each other,

because they're like mirror images of one another. Mirror images of one another.

Mirror images of one another.

Everyone out there lets do this podcast so we can just see Luke and I riffing off air.

We have a lot of fun. Send a means. We get blurry. It gets blurry off on the text messages in the phone call.

But thanks, Luke. You've been on this wild ride, man. You had no idea what you were getting yourself into

and you said, yeah, I'll do a podcast with you, Nate.

We talk about Bigfoot.

Here we are.

Well, today we're bringing on one of the biggest dudes in the Bible verse.

The myth, man, the legend, the Mackie himself, Tim Mackie from the Bible project, Return of the Mackie.

So that's his first time. So that's a bad, that's a bad route.
