Jar,
I'm trying to remember a book on child psychology I read years ago. Hopefully it will come to me but it talked about children's fears of monsters and giants and how some parents tried to banish fairy tales to prevent nightmares. The psychologist pointed out that all us humans are born into a world of great giants looming over us, frustrating our intentions and they can be very scary...these giants are our parents and other adults.
Hopefully my memory will eventually kick the book title out. I can sort of see the book. The word "years" (the something "years") I think was in the title and the author was a woman.
Anyway, I think the notion of giants can be found right there in our childhoods.

Evolutionists are constantly have to reshape their theories,
I am shocked! shocked to learn of such a scandalous state of affairs! This isn't how science is supposed to be done! Why aren't those evolutionist doing what all the other "good" scientists are doing and reveal the total truth about the universe in one easy explanatory book that is true for all time once and for all???
as creationism just doesn't allow it stand solid
Oh! I see it's the creationist who are responsible for all the advances in science. Lucky thing we have you prodding those dumb scientist along.
Some "new" explanation always has to be invented from different angles so that the theory does not fall.
They are a fast talking bunch those evolutionists craftily coming up with one fallacious sales pitch after another cleverly covering up there lack of any evidence but at least creationist are keeping them busy and out of the laboratory and field. Wouldn't want them making any of the discoveries that satan goes around planting in his spare time.
The simplicity of this argument utterly demolishes the Theory of Evolution. Let's fire those silly biologists and close their departments, take the money and build more Bible Colleges to teach the true bible science and do something about all the sick people using faith and prayer instead of all that biological mumbo jumbo based scientific medicince and surgery.
This is real progress!
I've so understated this,

Re: Giant human unearthed in Saudi Arabia?
I have studied it for a couple hours using negatives to see if there is any sign of photoshop manipulation and I haven't really seen any.
There are lots of ways to do a hoax without manipulating a photograph. Like the giant in a box this could involve carved stone or other material.
That website is strictly apologists playing to the credulous. They were claiming:
Secular Scientists Discover Light Speed Has Changed
(8/15/2001) In what is the final death knell of the hypothesis of an ancient Universe, secular scientists have discovered that the speed of light -- which evolutionists have always maintained to be a constant -- has changed over time. Creation Science has long predicted that light speed would have varied, accounting for our ability to see objects more than ten thousand "light years" away even though the Universe is less than ten thousand years old. This new study provides stunning confirmation of this prediction, strengthening the scientific case for the correct Genesis model of Cosmology.
But this is just total hype.
"What we've seen is that the structure of these atoms must be very slightly different, just so slightly, that the frequency of light that's involved in bumping the electrons from one orbit to the next is just a little bit different."
This implies that something in the early universe behaved differently. Because the speed of light is one factor in the fine structure constant equation, it might be it that has changed over time, Churchill said. Or it could be that unknown properties of the early universe forced atoms and electrons to behave in ways researchers don't understand.
The guy who runs that site appears to be a sincere Christian YEC, but willing to seize and misrepresent any little thing to promote his cause. He uses no discrimination at all. I find his site a total waste of time, it's only use is to mislead people.
