That's not a huge body size, that's shorter than I am. It's certainly not 2.5 meters.

168 cm for males is small. 256 cm for females is presumably a typo. --- ETA: compare the figures from Wikipedia, which are exactly the same except that WP has a 1 instead of a 2: "Neanderthal males averaged 164–168 cm (65–66 in) and females 152–156 cm (60–61 in) tall." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neanderthal_anatomy I rest my case.

Dont have the time to really check though im willing to give my left nut that i saw some documentary that had some really tall homos, i think it was neandertals but i get that it might be a typo.

This critter is known only from jaws and teeth, and the height/upright posture is based on the wider angle of the jaws--as a critter reaches bipedal locomotion the jaws have to spread at the base to allow the various parts of the neck to fit between them. Not all agree that Giganto had upright posture. In any case, Giganto is known from fossils dated perhaps as much as 9 million years ago to about 100,000 years ago. As such, it overlapped in time with modern humans, but was not generally found in the same locations. So, creationists believing in "giants" in biblical times have to: 1) account for the antiquity, far more than the 4,004 BC they often advocate, of Giganto fossils. 2) account for the lack of fossils or bones from Giganto within the time of human history. 3) account for the vast differences between Giganto jaws and teeth and those of modern humans from the same time period. And 4) just provide some evidence for the many claims made about giants. When you actually look at the evidence, Giganto is far more likely to be the direct ancestor to Bigfoot than to be part of a race of giants during biblical times.

Yea but there are quite a lot of teeth, curious that its just teeth but it could be a dwarf cock thing. But think about it today you see individuals that surpass 2,5 m, but 2-2.2,m aint that rare, now add that to the average size being smaller do to nourishment issues they would call them giants. imagine a bunch o 1,5-1,6 m tall guys seeing a farm bread 2,1 m tall guy they would consider him giant. And i can totally see a giant person like this die to a little guy in some battle way back when and trough generations of oral traditions it being written down, in some holy book. still not lending any credence to there being a god, there are cars in harry potter doees that mean harry potter really existed?

The Bible does mention that there were some giants in the pre-Flood world, but ‘giant’ is a relative term. To some people groups today, a US basketball ‘dream team’ would certainly qualify for that description. But there are limits to the degree to which one can speculate about the size of past members of the human race, and it is likely that the approximately 2.7-metre (9-foot) Goliath was at or very near the size limit. Say a giant was scaled 4 times the size of an average man.

Of course there were giants, how can any sane person say there is no evidence. All evolutionists can do is deny deny deny. The only thing consistent about their thinking is that they deny truths. They have their dumber than dumb artists conceptions according to their fake bones and wild imagainations... and yet of course deny the giant bones found all over the world. https://www.google.ca/search?q=giant+bones&hl=en-CA&gbv=2... Evolution is not science. It did not create life nor did it diversify life. It didn;t create the laws that exist nor did it create science. It is a religion and not Science. Intelligent design always defeats evolutions lack of design and lack of intelligence. Luck and Chance is not a scientific doctrine,

Nephilum were the resulting horrible results of the fallen sexual angels (SEE Sex threads I would have started, but denied) mating with our human women. In other words a CROSS BREEDING of different KINDS. This the Lord absolutely commanded these vile angels NOT do, and in their rebellion did do. The dating is as mentioned and discussed, 2300's B.C. and the bones of these giants or blood thristy ravaging beasts still remain, although they have tried to hide them. If you dont believe it, tough. Your denials dont mean they weren't HERE, and you evolutionists can return to worshipping your ancestors the monkeys and apes, or letter changing clades. Evolution is not science. It did not create life nor did it diversify life. It didn;t create the laws that exist nor did it create science. It is a religion and not Science.

If there indeed was a race of giants that information would be in the archaeological and osteological literature, but that information is conspicuous by its absence. You believe in giants? Where are the bones? Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge. Belief gets in the way of learning--Robert A.
