For one thing, he would need a wider base for support and balance. And that is exactly what we find in Second Samuel 21:20, "And there was yet again a battle in Gath. And there was a man of stature who had six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number. And he also was born to the giant."

That's it?They have six toes,giving them greater balance?You can't be serious.For reference,the world's tallest man was 8'11".He had to wear braces on his ankles to support himself,and he could barely feel his feet.Now,you believe that there were much larger people than that running around,and fighting.

The poor bastards would barely be able to function.Every fall would be a major event,as the force increases exponentially with the size.And their weight couldn't even be adequately supported,unless they were incredibly thin.

Gould mentions this in Sizing up Human Intellegence.Joint and bone failures are inevitable at even the heights reached by the tallest people recorded,let alone the heights proposed by people writing the bible.

Other than wild conspiracy theories,find one Giant skeleton anywhere in the world to show me.It shoud be easy,if one had been found,it would be widely displayed,and would be the source of much study.

Unless you want to believe that every skeleton has been snatched and hidden in some kind of vast conspiracy.

People, people, people.


People.


People-people.


PEOPLEPEOPLEPEOPLEPEOPLE!!!


You know, sometimes you close-minded skeptics can be really irritating.

The black-and white photo "Doubting Dydimus" posted simply failed to provide scale, which is what led you to all that mean-spirited mockery. Beware, ye who doubt things of yore! "Yo're" about to be.....

...um...amazed!! Yes, that's it, AMAZED!!

Gather round, ladies and gentlemen! And Sciencists, too!

As a public service (although clearly you and your "Evil Science" [TM] are close-minded to "The Truth" [MT]), I have provided a "corrected photo" with a real live, "normally sized" human model for scale:



(Before anyone asks, YES, of course I got a signed release from the model. What do you think I am, one of your "Evil Scientists" [TN] who conduct experimental anal probes on helpless young boys after you STEAL THEM FROM THEIR MOMMIES IN YOUR FLYING SHIPS!!?!!!!!

Sorry.)

That's a photo of good ol' Don Patton, creationist researcher par excellance. It would be easier to dismiss his "Nephilim Club" as piffle, if it were not for his impeccable credentials and long history of amazing finds. For instance, as the image below shows, Patton has found amazing evidence that mankind coeexisted with dinosaurs, such as petroglyph below documenting the coexistence of man with triceratops!



Plus, Don Patton has a PhD in education, so anything he says should be accepted without question.



I'd buy a used car from this man anyday.

Judging from the difference between that clearly older photo with the club and the more recent ones, I would say that the good Dr. is not only a client of the Hair Club For Men, but he is no stranger to Vito's Tuck n' Suck--cosmetic surgery & liposuction center on 53rd and Vine.

Of course, he may simply be using alien time-travel technology that was left behind by the giants to inflict his younger self on our present day.

Or, it might not be the same person.

And, let's not forget this one:
"An ell is 45 inches 3000 x 45 = 135000 /12 is 11,250 feet, I was wrong, they were over 1000 feet tall. oops"

WOULD ANYONE CARE TO TELL ME HOW THE FUCK A 1000 FOOT TALL GIANT COULD POSSIBLY HAVE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH A 5 FOOT TALL WOMAN?
And, assuming she didn't get pounded into hamburger by the Nepholim's "equipment",
HOW THE FUCK WOULD SHE BE ABLE TO SURVIVE GIVING BIRTH TO A CHILD THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE AROUND 200 FEET TALL?
Perhaps the women in Biblical days were, ahem more...elastic in their southern regions?

Finally, let us ponder this unpolished gem of Biblical wisdom:
"And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and 6 fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones".

Cool

"Biblical"? The book of Enoch is not in the Bible.”

Ahh, but it was found among the Dear Sea Scrolls as was “The Book of the Giants”, someone took it seriously!

[ December 07, 2002: Message edited by: ps418 ]</strong>
I seem to recall a few months ago hearing a news report of a deathbed confession to having had large wooden 'feet' carved and to using them to make those 16" footprints. Further, I recall that the hoaxer was known to the photographer who took the (in)famous sasquatch 8mm movie. He claimed that sasquatch was in fact himself in a gorilla suit. It was probably on one of the discovery Channels...did anyone else see that broadcast?

P.S. Check the thread: Science & Skepticism/Bigfoot is Dead.
