So, unless you have some evidence for those "giants" I will continue to regard them as a myth. (Kind of like the Jolly Green Giant--very well known but entirely fictional).
What a genius.
Here are a few giants that have lived in modern times:
The Russian giant Johann Peturssen, 8 ft. 5 in. [thumb=200]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/GiantPeturrson88-1.jpg[/thumb=200]
Robert Wadlow of Alton, Illinois; 8'11.
[thumb=200]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/robert-wadlow-5.jpg[/thumb=200]
Jason Aason 8'11 in comparison to Shaquille O'Neal on the far left.
[thumb=200]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/Shaq-Aasen.jpg[/thumb=200]
According to Jason's patient record and his death certificate from Mendocino State Hospital, he measured 9' 2" (279 cm). The giant goliath was 'six cubits and a span' (9'9). This man was comparable to him.
The Bible told the truth about giants. God's Word always tells the truth. It's the skeptics that have problems. They fail to believe what God says.
There are a number of sources for these pictures on the Internet. Just Google 'tallest men in the world'.

Here are more giants:
[thumb=300]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/issue45.jpg[/thumb=300]
This giant of a skeleton was found in Utah. It's cranium was 2 inches thick in places.http://www.ancientamerican.com/
Zhang Jun-Cai, 7'11, with martial arts movie star Jackie Chan and friends.
[thumb=200]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/giantwithJChan.jpg[/thumb=200]
Sultan Kosen of Turkey. 8'1.

The genius is also lazy. I let it be known how easy it is to find the sources but he doesn't wish to find them.
Not surprising for someone who lives in denial.

Re: Need I say more?
The Bible also says in II Samuel 21:20 that the son of Goliath had six fingers and six toes. Was this a myth?
No more than was the fact that Goliath was over 9 ft tall.
Notice this:
X-rays of adults with six fingers and/or six toes:
[thumb=100]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/150px-Polydactyly_01_Rhand_AP.jpg[/thumb=100]
[thumb=100]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/150px-Polydactyly_01_Lfoot_AP.jpg[/thumb=100]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polydactyly
The following is an oriental girl with six fingers on each hand. But she has them not only on both hands but...
[thumb=300]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/100B3820.jpg[/thumb=300]
[thumb=300]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/100B3780.jpg[/thumb=300]
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/774518/six_fingers/
Also six toes on each foot. She utilizes all of them without a problem so it is difficult to classify it as a deformity.
The Bible also speaks of 'unicorns'. But what did unicorns look like? Where are they described? Since the word 'unicorn' means 'one horned' then why wouldn't this creature qualify?
[thumb=200]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/tsintao2-1.jpg[/thumb=200]
Evolutionists tell us that dinosaurs preceded man and that men never saw a living dinosaur. But we don't accept that. The evidence tells us otherwise.
[thumb=300]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/tsintaosaurus.jpg[/thumb=300]
The Bible stands true. That is because it has always been true.
The artwork on historical record bears up the fact that men were contemporaneous with the dinosaur. More on that later.

Re: Pics of giants
John Williams. You're welcome.
There are quite a few older examples of people who were even taller than those I posted but it is so hard to verify them by merely written accounts. But the examples I provided silences critics who say human beings could never be that big.
Best wishes

Re: Pics of giants
Of course Bigfoot is usually claimed to be eight foot or more in height, as well as of robust build.
No one said a word about 'bigfoot'. As usual, he tries to obscure the issue and ignore the facts.

Re: Pics of giants
All of these giant skeletons, from relatively recent excavations at Lovelock Cave. Lots of tall tales (if you'll pardon the pun).
Not surprising that such a statement would come from one who lives his life in lies.
But those photographs of John Aason (9'2), Petrussen (8'8), and Robert Wadlow (8'11) were no lie.

Re: Pics of giants
Right, John.
I have never believe in 'Bigfoot' or 'Sasquatch'. I don't believe in little green men either.
I do believe God's Word and what it says about giants and dinosaurs(dragons) is right on.

Re: Reality bites, don't it
Theodoric:
You're another one who lives in lies.
Documentation: [thumb=300]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/Shaq-Aasen.jpg[/thumb=33]
This photo is a direct comparison between two men about six feet tall and John Aasen and Shaquille Oneal. If you can see that Aasen is much bigger than Shaq then you are either (1) blind or (2) deliberately lying. I think that latter.
Not only so but he was measured many times for his height. 8'9 3/4 at age 18.
http://www.stevequayle.com/Giants/index2.html
The records of the Mendocino State Hospital state that he was 9'2 at the time of his death.
[qs]You did get Robert Wadlow correct but that is about all you got correct.[/qs]
Nope. I got it all correct. Anyone viewing the pictures themselves can tell that you are lying...both to yourself and the readers.
Now, handle this:
[thumb=200]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/Stadnik85.jpg[/thumb=200]
Stadnick is 8'5. Still alive.
[thumb=200]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/giantvainmyllarine-1.jpg[/thumb=200]
[thumb=200]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/Vaino-Myllyrinne.jpg[/thumb=200]
Vaino Myllyrinne, measured at 8'1.
Your so-called source is bogus. These things are a matter of public record in many places, such as
http://villageofjoy.com/10-tallest-men-in-the-world/
What God's Word says about giants (& everything else) is true and what the skeptics say to the contrary is lies.

Re: Evidence please, evidence
First of all Steve Quayle is a nutball
You are the 'nut ball'. Even after being proven wrong you still maintain the lie. My documentation went far beyond Steve Quayle (who was not wrong about this). The truth is that you just don't care.
You really have no concept of perspective do you. How do you know the two men standing next to Shaq and John Aasen are both 6 feet tall
Because the height of the the two men standing next to the big men was known by the researchers who did the investigation, that's why.
Still living in lies. It was obvious. The comparisons were accurate.
Where is this evidence? I find no reference on the site your presented.
That's because you didn't LOOK close enough. You don't wish to find the truth to begin with.
First of all they were not part of your original post, so how do you feel you can use them to back up your original post.
Well, goodness, even if I told you would you grasp it. It doesn't take an intellectual 'giant' to figure it out. Where does that leave you?
The Internet is loaded with sites about the height of the individuals I posted. People who care enough to know the truth will do their own research just as I did.

Re: 7 to 9 feet tall is not the issue
Neither do and neither would I think anyone else. The issue is claims of taller and much taller. I think we can safely see in the modern age that 9 ft tall is just not very sustainable for a human being. Looking at the evidence of the issues modern "giants" have, I think we can surmise that bronze age men would have huge problems. The human body just cannot sustain that size.
That is unsubstantiated opinion with no basis in fact. He sounds like those who, before man invented the automobile said, "No man could withstand the pressure of driving at 30 mph". My Dad told me he heard that a lot when he was a kid.
But taking up where I left off:
The giant Machnov; close to 8 ft tall. [thumb=200]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/Russian20giant2.jpg[/thumb=200]
This man picture below was 8'9 according to record. He is accorded the second tallest man in modern recorded history by Wikipedia but I might point out that the list they compiled has quite a few names missing that should have been listed.
[thumb=200]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/GiantJohnRogan89.jpg[/thumb=200]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_people
This Elizabethan woman was measured at 8'4. He name was Trijntje Keever.
[thumb=200]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/Trijntje_Keever84.jpg[/thumb=200]
I found another picture of one Ella Ewing of Missouri who was also 8'4 but for some reason the picture would not process. You can find her picture here:
http://www.lonympics.co.uk/womanewing.htm
http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/the-30-tallest-people-ever
Contrary to what Theodoric said there are scores of historical accounts of people who were 8 to 25 ft. tall. But those were before photographs could be made of them. But since photographs of giant people doesn't suffice the skeptics like Theodoric then why would we expect drawings of such things to convince them?
Where, pray tell, is there evidence that human DNA cannot produce such giants?

Re: 7 to 9 feet tall is not the issue
Are you sure that's what you meant to write?
That is exactly what I meant.
I question any source that is like the spectacular tabloids or the You Tube junk concerning the 'giant' found(first in India and later the same in the Sahara desert) because those can be proven to be phony. But when such records are from kings, their registrars, etc. as from public archives then there is credibility to them.
But God's Word the Bible is enough for Christians. Og, king of Bashan was much taller than Goliath. He measured about 13 ft tall. Deut. 3:11. The Hebrews saw much taller men than him.

Re: 7 to 9 feet tall is not the issue
"Claiming heights on the order of 25 feet is ludicrous."
And just a few weeks ago, 8'11 was 'ludicrous'.
But then skeptics like you wouldn't even believe Wm Herschel and the astronomers who verified volcanic action on the moon in his day. So am I surprised that you reject even legitimate historical records as well as that of the scriptures?
Nope.
