 the stack of evidence supporting the stories continues to get ever higher too

to the point now where there are now known genetic clades (haplogroups) associated with these people and the "angels" (fallen and not) may well be from a variant of our kind known as "Iberomarussian" ie, north african/southwest european, and this is related to the appearance of the lactose switch and white/red/blonde mutations, and were the origin of humans becoming herders (and i strongly suspect the sheep was first, not the cow, for obvious reasons)

i think that a lot of points in Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya go in the wrong direction, like the hypothesis the flood was caused by a meteor storm, and their clear bias towards "neutral" gnostic theology, but it gathers so many important points about so many things that after reading it (twice) i became convinced that Genesis is a history, if somewhat fragmentary, of real events, that the interacitons between Angels and the tribe of Adam were major parts of the events of our history and that as as is claimed in Enoch and repeated in Daniel and Revelation (and the rest) that there was a Jesus, that he is alive, and has mastered death, and is the leader of the Angelic Host that are due to return at the appointed time in order to harvest the good (first fruits) born of this earth

i also won't disagree with the notion of the possibility of His ability to resurrect and bring judgement upon all humans who were born since the times when He ascended, and his entire Kingdom prior to that and the Father... 

i'm not sure how to put it exactly, my conception might seem heretical to some of the common doctrines of Christianity but i have had too many things whispered in my ears that made me likely to make this conception of the data i have seen and that there is indeed going to be a second coming, that it's coming in the next 30 years or so, and that the reason for it is that without this intervention all complex life on this planet will be forever lost at least, to itself, anyway (not to those with the divine power of the Kingdom of God)
