Correction: Elohim literally means 'Those who came from the sky.' Angels
maybe? Not even 'God's plural.' Certainly not Aryans, Andy. However, maybe
this is where von Daeniken got some of his ideas about Chariots of the Gods?
To freely translate 'Elohim' to mean 'Aryans' is not responsible Biblical
scholarship, even you must agree. 'Aryans' are not mentioned in the Bible
at all, by the way (*).

P.S. I've put off my silly stuff for the P.S.:
(*) Snickers bars are not mentioned in the Bible either.
Nota Bene: I got an A on a paper in my college days in a course I took from
the Black Studies Department at Berkeley, taught by Sun Ra. The thesis was a
simple contradiction of the 'Curse of Ham' passage in the Bible that many
people use to show that blacks are cursed. There are no blacks mentioned in
the passage, really. It is all a silly rumor. With this credit on my record,
I claim to be an authority. So there.)
(Come to my Bible Class, Sproul Hall, Monday, October 1, 1967. The bit about
my Curse of Ham paper is true.)
