Interesting timing, Zombie.
I have been following the search for Giants by Biblical anthropologists on Giants and find that there is much to support the Bible in findings all over the world.
Then there is the fact that some society's due to diet and inbreeding turn out people that we see every day as very short in stature.
I am 5' 3 inches tall. yet I have worked with new Americans that I was taller then their men or woman. Fancy these people come to America and find most people have to be looked up to as their size was much taller then them.
Short story, heading to Michigan's upper area we stopped at a Denny's and a bus came in with the basketball players from the University. When I headed for the salad bar I had to get behind the Players.
Well you guys know me by now, I had this naughty thought that any of these men could rest a beer can on my head while I ----You know.
These were young kids towering over me, they were Giants to me. I felt like a 8 year old among adults.
However it does seem with science we know the Bible and religions all over the world there were a race of Giants and science seems to back them up. Also the bones found had 6 fingers and 6 toes.
Children now and then are born with extra digits, no big deal, some DNA from the past unless the mother was on drugs comes in here.
Giants from the Bible did exist we find them all over the world. Just because some shyster took advantage of the story's and science does not make it not so.
