Others with similar views is not the same as evidence.
Reminds me a little of an infectious disease doctor who does a podcast on supplements, complimentary and alternative medicines (SCAMs . . . his statement, not mine) in which he periodically notes that the plural of anecdote is not "data." Or an alternative way of putting it is that just because something could possibly be the cause does not make it the cause. Real facts need to be considered.
And since I am not going to look at the link right now, can you assert that the links provide more than supposition (even if reasonable supposition) and not just a presumption that it is a plausible explanation?
I'm not "calling you out." I'm just noting that we got where we were in the LCM by taking the fact that someone said something as if true without evidence that it was actually true. All of us. Me included. It sort of puts my guard up when anyone makes those kinds of statements and I have no basis to take it as true. And I note that it still infects those of us who are trying to get rid of that garlic room.
Do the people who say that it is Nephilim say that it is possible, likely, definte? and if more than possible, do they provide any actual reasons other than a chain of suppositions?
At some level, unless we are convinced that both Nee and Lee were simply charlatans fleecing religious people, they were no different. They thought they saw something and decided it had to be true, so it was. Eventually they even declared that their preferred status before God made it so. Lee was more direct in his declarations (eventually) but Nee was really little different other than the obtuse way he went about declaring himself the most spiritual person in any room.
