The Anabaptist perception on life before The Flood!

[Karstan78]

In those days the Nephilim roamed the earth, angel/human hybrids. I certainly believe people were more intelligent and physically prime back then.

„The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.“

I don’t necessarily believe the earth is only 6000 years old, we don’t know how long Adam and Eve lived in the garden before the fall (at the same time I don’t believe everything is millions of years old etc, Satan is the great deceiver.)

We have modern archaeology that believes civilisations began less than 10,000 years ago which I assume to be the time AFTER the flood. And then we have places like Gobekli Tepe which outdates that and I presume places like these represent humanity pre-flood.

In Catholic World we have holy individuals who could bi-locate. Very efficient, that.

Dare I ask what that is?

bi·​lo·​ca·​tion ˈbī-lō-ˌkā-shən
: the state of being or ability to be in two places at the same time

Is that like when you don't know where you are?

Like the same of walking into a room and you forget why?

Bi = two Locate = places

Some of the saints were said to be seen in two different places at once. While the person is in one locale, the person would also appear as an apparition in another location. There is also a history of this phenomenon in Jewish circles. In Catholic World it is not mandated to believe in these apparitions. Schrödinger's cat aside, these incidents fall into the category of optional pious devotions or beliefs. I do not know if faith groups outside of Catholicism and Judaism have these stories.
As always, YMMV.

I don't even want to be where I am at now. Why would I want to be in two places?

Depends on the places. Bilbao and the Big Island, sure. Not so interested in Binghamton and Biggleswade.

I'd heard that human ears grow as long as a person lives, but apparently that was debunked. And I was having such fun imagining how Methuselah looked in his old age!

Methuselah, on being told there's news: "I'm all ears."
