Yes, you heard it here first!

Is it any wonder that people think believers in God are stupid?

Jeez oh, finding a loin cloth to fit would have been nigh impossible never mind a pair of shoes.

Ach they're not dumb just simple minded

Didn't Adam and Eve clothe themselves in leaves? How many trees would you need to cover a 90 foot person in leaves?

A loin cloth made out of leaves then, I should have said a loin "covering", cloth being the wrong word there (think I corrected that slight over sight quite well myself)...

Anyway quite a few trees I'd imagine

how convenient it is that the diminishing size of the human race was caused by, and is their explanation for, the inevitable inbreeding in genesis. I didn't know that all recessive genes were for shortness, but then again, i'm no Mohammad (peace be upon his leaping logic unit)

Perhaps the garden of eden was a supersized place?

Quote:

"Our research, in conjunction with the research of other respected institutions around the world, has demonstrated that the entire human population descending from a single pair of human ancestors is highly unlikely." stated Dr. Lesser. "It would seem that the traditional view of groups, not individuals, evolving has been corroborated; the only way man could descend from a single pair (rather than from an entire group of transitional hominids) is if the original pair were literally giants in the pre-nutrition age."

What!?

Let's examine this concept. Adam was 15 times as tall as human beings are today. Presumably Eve was of a similar size, or else Adam's erection wouldn't fit in her vagina, and the story of humanity would be cut short.

Now, let's turn to the apple-eating scene. If Eve was around 15 times normal size, how did she take only a small bite out of the apple? Wouldn't that be like taking a small bite out of a grape?

Either that or maybe a raisin.

It can be done, but what is the purpose of only eating a small bite of something the size of a grape or raisin? If I was to give somebody a grape I would give them the whole thing and find another. I wouldn't eat part of it and give them what's left. Are people really this dumb?

Do they even pause to think before they believe?

Since a doubling of size results in a quadrupling of mass, the human body as is could not just be magically enlarged and still function!

Ugh, there are millions of problems with this idea. <img src="graemlins/banghead.gif" border="0" alt="[Bang Head]" />

Presumably the 90-foot man would have a completely different body structure and physiology from a modern human. Otherwise he wouldn't survive.
