I often wondered if all the ancient art depicting humans with animal heads or other chimeras weren't a graphic representation of genetic manipulation, a way of saying "this being had lion/bull/whatever DNA inserted or bred into them". When you consider that scientist say DNA code fits the rules for a language, Biblical phrases like "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was made flesh" take on a different tenor. Also, I never understood all the Old Testament slaughter, telling the Israelites to go into all these lands and kill everybody- I mean this is the God who commands love thy neighbor and thou shalt not kill. But if you consider it in the light of tribes of thoroughly evil hybrids- Nephthilim, aliens, chimeras- I could see the need to destroy them. Then God seems not malignant and bloodthirsty but a God trying to save His people from horrors. Would we not want to destroy a tribe of Jeffrey Dahmers living next door?
