Giant People in the bible?

While I am not convinced about the reliability of the site it seems to err on the side of credulity:http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/dp5/ape2.htmIt features the same photograph, but states that it is of an alleged "fossilised Irish Giant". Other references repeat the same story from the same secondary source.In all probability this is simply a hoax like the "Cardiff Giant".

The scientific method looks for the best explanation rather than proof.Given the rarity of fossils that preserve the soft tissues to anything like that degree, the shortage of genuine fossils of hominids that size and the poor provenance of the alleged find that it is a fraud is the best explanation we have.It certainly can't be considered as offering any real support to the claimed existence of giants.

It's like Willowtree. Willowtree finds a crank book that says what he wants and suddenly it becomes an unquestionably reliable source that everyone else should just accept. I don't think these guys really understand the concept of truth.
