Answer
The Nephilim or Giants were inhabitants on earth from the earliest days of old. There's numerous references to the lands of the giants in the Bible, ancient myths and history, even remains from nearly every culture of antiquity. When the Sons of God came down and mated with the daughters of men.. [Gen. 6] producing a hybrid race of extremely large beings. These mixed children were of giant stature, many were barbaric and cruel, after these beings inhabited earth for a time they corrupted their ways even further by mating with animals, bringing forth the incredible creatures we view in ancient myth, art and depictions. Several of these beings were worshipped as gods.
The DEVIL/Mastema/Belial and his host of adverse ANGELS, the SATANS, the BAAL'S had already brought forth violence and death into our world and into our minds, afterwards their expulsion from the heavens. The sons of GOD brought forth hidden knowledge. The mating of humans and those who descended resulted in some extraordinary hybrid Creatures. Bringing forth many Evil Spirits from within physical bodies. These demonic hybrids began to completely corrupt and destroy the human race, they sinned not only with the daughters of man, they began to sin against the animals, beasts, birds, and reptiles, bringing forth the half human half animal creatures, which are so widely known throughout ancient cultures and civilizations. A time when ALL FLESH corrupted it's ways. And after a time, resulting in the Great Flood / Deluge, .."the end of all flesh"..[Genesis 7:22] All in whose nostrils was the breadth of life, of all that WAS IN the DRY LAND..... From the Bible and ancient legends we see there were beings of a half human half fish nature  after the flood; DAGON was  worshipped as a god by the Philistines. This being was indeed half man half fish, not dependant 'on dry land' having gills and lungs. Dagon is only one of several who possesssed these qualities. Who were these Nephilim/Nefilim/Rephaim/Avim,etc., the giants and their fathers? The Biblical Anakim seem to be Zachariah Sitchin's Anunnaki in his books, which l found highly illuminating. Mentioned in Enoch as the children of heaven or angels. In Numbers we see a fleeting picture of the character of these "mighty men." The Israelites brought up an evil report of the land saying, The land is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of 'great stature'. And there we saw giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight." In Deut. we see, "And when thou comest over against the children of Ammon distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession. That Egypt also was accounted a land of giants: Giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims; A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the Lord destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead." The children of the sons of God and human women were quite tall and fierce. They were living in Egypt before the destruction of the flood, there was a remnant which inhabited Ammon, Moab, Edom and Bashan with it's fortified city with high walls and gates with bars, just to name a few who yet inhabited earth after the flood. Reasons behind the continued wars and great slaughters with total destruction in Biblical times. The destruction caused by the great flood, the end of the last age was a direct result of the increasing evil done by humans, adverse gods and fallen angels, and their children from the forbidden knowledge of those who came down had brought with them. And that evil and corruption increased with their appearance on earth. These angels which "kept not their first estate, and left their habitation. There are countless stories of visitors and or entities from the universe throughout our ancient history. Sacred books and folklore of widely seperated lands all tell of gods who visited earth wrapped in clouds or conveyed by fiery chariots.


Your brother was probably thinking of the previous statements, but the Bible does not state if Noah was a giant himself.
