Giant People in the bible?

ROTFLMAORon Wyatt's name again. Isn't it funny how this one guy can 'discover' more than all the professional archeologists in the world. Suspicious?Giant thumbs - are you jokers serious? You believe such nonsense?

But common sense and logic should make the claim seem shall we say unlikely (more like not a chance.)Unicorns, fairies, giant humans - none of these has ever existed outside of fictionCome on folks - this is Earth not Middle Earth - some things are just obviously childish nonsense!

but to posit a complete race of people as "giants" is far fetched. There is no archeological evidence for such but medically seems ridiculous too.I think, from memory, the tallest race/tribe on the planet is a tribe in Africa where adult males average 6' 1" (I also think some locations in Montenegro are around this too). Now the avergae adult male on the planet is about 5' 5" or so. The standard deviation of this population is probably only two inches or so. Thus even the 6' 1" average is probably some 4 standard deviations away. Once you get to say an average of 7' you are 10 sigma away. This is a miniscule probability.Now this isn't an airtight technical argument but I do think it has some validity when you combine it with the lack of archeological evidence for such giants.

Why would anyone give this sort of claim more than a second of notice? I mean really, most people on here have lived 2,3,4 or 5 decades in the real world. Do we not have our crazy bullshit filters in place to separate the likely from the plausible from the 'not even if Hell did freeze over'?
