The Book of Enoch: Chapter 7
1. It happened after the SONS OF MEN had multiplied in those days, that daughters were born to them, elegant and beautiful.
2. And when the angels, THE SONS OF HEAVEN, beheld them, they became enamoured of them, saying to each other, Come, let us select for ourselves wives from the progeny of men, and let us beget children.
10. THEN THEY TOOK WIVES, each choosing for himself; whom they began to approach, and with whom they cohabited; teaching them sorcery, incantations, and the dividing of roots and trees.
11. And the women conceiving brought forth GIANTS,
12. Whose stature was each three hundred cubits. These devoured all which the labor of men produced; until it became impossible to feed them;
[300 cubits = 450 feet max]
14. And began to injure birds, beasts, reptiles, and fishes, to eat their flesh one after another, and to drink their blood.
The Book of Jasher Chapter 4
18. And their judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, AND TAUGHT THE MIXTURE OF ANIMALS of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord; and God saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals.
[“taught the mixture of animals” + sorcery/witchcraft = dinosaurs]
The Book Jubilees Chapter 5
2. And lawlessness increased on the earth and all flesh corrupted its way, alike men and cattle and beasts and birds and everything that walks on the earth -all of them CORRUPTED THEIR WAYS AND THEIR ORDERS, and they began to devour each other, and lawlessness increased on the earth and every imagination of the thoughts of all men (was) thus evil continually.
[“corrupted their ways and their orders” + sorcery/witchcraft = dinosaurs]
The Book of Enoch: Chapter 8
9. And men, being destroyed, cried out; and their voice reached to heaven.
The Book Jubilees Chapter 5
5. But Noah found grace before the eyes of the Lord.
King James Version Bible
Genesis Chapter 6
17. And, behold, I, even I, DO BRING A FLOOD of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein [is] the breath of life, from under heaven; [and] every thing that [is] in the earth shall die.
Genesis Chapter 10
25. And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one [was] Peleg; for in his days was THE EARTH WAS DIVIDED; and his brother's name [was] Joktan.
32. These [are] the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
[This is why the remains of the “dinosaurs” are spread all across the earth. All the continents and islands were unified before the flood.]

No, both Nephilim and the mythical flood are superstitious nonsense.

Crabs amaze me. They're the perfect life form, a tank made of legs and living hate-armor. It's not just about their physicality, though; it's the soul of the crab. See, no crab in the bottomless history of the sea has ever questioned itself, doubted itself, worried, or been afraid. A crab is pure motion. A crab is pure id and unrelenting forward force. Crabs invented the word violence and they will scuttle on the surface of the world while the red giant of Sol creeps closer to devour everywhere we've ever known. They will look into the sky and clack their claws and there will be no fear.

The Hebrew word is nephiyl plural nephilim. It means bully, tyrant, men of reputation, rebels, apostates. Some misconstrue the term here to be giants, but more properly it means "giants among men", not physically large men.
Also, was there a global flood?
See "whole heaven/earth"...
Genesis 7:19 KJV — And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
Genesis 8:9 KJV — But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
