And we can talk even about some of the evidence that people will raise to make this claim.
No, you are correct, and this is where this debate gets very, very interesting because there are all different theories on this, right?
Not everybody β and that's why I brought up what are demons.
You kind of have to work backwards on this with the alien question because β
There is a debate even among Christians when it comes to what are demons.
Now, the common belief is that demons are fallen angels, right?
Now, if that's true, angels can manifest in physical form, right?
They have bodies in Scripture.
We see this numerous times where they appear as people, where the Bible even tells us, you may entertain angels unaware.
You think they're people, they're not.
The other theory is that demons are actually the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim.
And that is an interesting theory, and it's one that has been picking up some steam, even among theologians.
But basically, you go back to Genesis 6, you see these giants, right, that the Bible talks about, and you have to kind of extend outside of Scripture into the book of Enoch, which is referenced in Scripture.
I know this is a lot, but to kind of pull this theory togetherβ It's in the Apocrypha.
Yes, it's in the Apocrypha.
But Jude references it, which is very interesting, in the New Testament.
He references a piece of that book, which means there was at least some belief that parts of that book were valid or they were at least well-known among the Jewish people at the time.
So the idea that the Nephilim died in the flood and we're no longer bodied and we're looking for bodies and that that's what demons are, that's another theory we tackle in the film as well.
So your question is a good one, though.
So, yeah, and here's the thing that gets so wild, because this sounds science fiction and it sounds crazy, but this is what the book of Enoch says.
