Halfling: A Human/Angel Hybrid?

Using Biblical and mythological texts, I’ve discovered there was only one brief moment of time throughout recorded history that human/angel unions may have taken place. 

Genesis 6:1-4:

“1And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

2That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

3And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

4There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.”

If something of this magnitude did occur, where are these beings, these purported “giants,” today?  Would some have survived thousands of years?  Or did they create a new being able to reproduce after its own kind?

Let’s consider the facts. Scientifically speaking, this is a fascinating conundrum.  Angels are eternal beings that never die.  Humans are limited to a max of not much more than one hundred years.  But a being half-human and half-angel?  Who knows the lifespan?

This is what is commonly understood from the Bible: Lucifer was an angel who took one third of the created angels and rebelled against God; God consequently banished them to the earth.

Using this notion as the backbone to my research, I’ve happened upon a series of supplementary texts and understandings that have been passed down to generations of believers – generations, who until this point, have remained mostly silent or, at least, only vocal within their own religious communities.  This Biblical mythology, as I refer to it, seems to indicate that these fallen angels felt a kinship with human women, a bond that manifested itself in irrepressible sexual attraction, an attraction that was ultimately reciprocated –

Therefore, half-human, half-angels were bred: “Halflings.” 


This is a hypothesis only. I need more time. More investigation. A way to test this claim. 


I wish Roland had not dropped my class. Beyond that, as it was confirmed in a discussion with the dean's office this week, he has left the school altogether.
