Default objectively wrong

Keith Jentoft "somehow" links the end of the Nephilim (the giants in the bible) with a genetic limiting of life to only 120 years.

"God?s solution to make this interaction cease was to alter man?s genetic code such that he would only live 120 years (Genesis 6:3). The capability to objectively interact with spirits was somehow ?linked? to the observable genetic capability of living for mare than 120 years. Once this capability ceased and men lived less than 120 years, the capability to procreate directly with spirits ceased and no new Nephilim were created."

In the documents KJ is using, I looked up Genesis 6:3 which has God stating he will limit people's life to 120 years. God made this statement before the flood linked with Noah.

Then I went to the story where David kills Goliath, a giant, a Nephilim.

According to the genealogies listed the documents KJ is using, I discovered that 1365 years lapsed between the time the limitation was announced and the time David killed one of these Nephilim.

Now objectively speaking, 1365 years is quite a stretch of time to be "somehow" linking two disparate events.

"Somehow" Goliah, a Nephilim, was created 1365 years after the "limitation" to 120 years.

Just stating "somehow" doesn't link anything, imho.
