The reference to the sons of God seems to imply beings very similar to humanoids who fell<br />
under the choice like Adam brought in severe sin into earth <strong>and</strong> as a result “the wickedness of<br />
man was great in the earth,” to the extent “that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was<br />
only evil continually.” It remained so till the great destruction by flood.<br />
Soon after the flood God gave mankind permission to eat flesh without blood. But until that<br />
time man was not permitted to eat flesh. They were vegetarians.<br />
Gen 9:1-4 And God blessed Noah <strong>and</strong> his sons, <strong>and</strong> said unto them, Be fruitful, <strong>and</strong> multiply,<br />
<strong>and</strong> replenish the earth. And the fear of you <strong>and</strong> the dread of you shall be upon every beast of<br />
the earth, <strong>and</strong> upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, <strong>and</strong> upon all the<br />
fishes of the sea; into your h<strong>and</strong> are they delivered. Every moving thing that liveth shall be<br />
meat [food] for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. But flesh with the life<br />
thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.<br />
