Well, they're gonna have to keep on lookin' right past me, 'cause this space is already occupied, no vacancy available, the Holy Ghost lives here (1 Cor. 6:19)!

Also, fallen angels slept with women in Noah's day (Gen. 6:4) and created exceedingly evil beings (Gen. 6:5) that were drowned out by the flood (Gen. 7:21-23). Water...
