Here we have the origin of the demons, which is completely ignored by the pulpit. They are called fallen angels and the Nephilim, and associated with Satan, but the truth is quite simple. They are the spirits of the Nephilim, the giants, which were hybrids produced by angels, and have no scriptural relationship to Satan.

The Biblical Bestiary

Merriam-Webster defines cryptozoology as the study of the lore concerning legendary animals, especially in order to evaluate the possibility of their existence. The word "cryptozoology" did not appear in the English language until 1969, but it has sparked the imagination and spawned debate throughout modern history. With the uncompromising attitude of modern science and the enterprise of the sensationalist tabloid industry, it has long been the brunt of official ridicule. A classic example of scientific refusal to accept anything out of the ordinary is the infamous "Platypus Fraud". When first seen in 1797 near Sydney Australia, it generated local excitement, but scientific denial. The duck-billed, web-footed, beaver-tailed, egg-laying, warm-blooded amphibian was declared a fraud and written off as a clever taxidermist trick by science. Though somewhat more sophisticated now, science is no less skeptical; denying a wealth of cultural evidence in ancient writings that the creatures of ancient lore may have been more than myth.

One of the more prominent ancient writings, clearly presenting evidence of anomalous creatures, is also the world's longest-running bestseller; the Bible. In the pages of the Bible are found leviathans, dragons, behemoths, unicorns, flying, fiery serpents, and cockatrices.

We will start at the top, the biggest of the animal kingdom; Leviathan. The detailed description of this creature, which is found in Job 41:1-33, begins with taunting from God. He asks Job if leviathan can be caught with hook and line, led around by the nose with a rope, or kept in a cage like a pet? He asks if this beast will serve man, if any can make a meal of it, could anyone ride leviathan like a horse, or could it be butchered and eaten, or sold in the market? Or, if Job could catch him with a harpoon or hurt him with spears? In other words. God is showing Job that he is powerless to control this creature.
