Quoted: Let me amend what I said about finding giants earlier. I think the better word is supposedly they found skeletons. There are programs on youtube that’ll provide more info View Quote Believing something based in a YT video is as stupid as believing they will find something valuable in the Oak Island money pit. |

Quoted: 12,000 years ago North America was a 200 foot thick ice block and the Sahara was a giant lake system with forests. Even in modern times do you know what humans make that will still exist in 12,000 years without regular upkeep or coincidence? Pretty much nothing. Add in the mass flooding/deglaciation event that changed the world during that time and very little is left. Most of humanity likely died and was mostly forgotten. Ice ages are great at preserving, but mass deglaciation/flooding and temperature increases are not. They have found wooden structures preserved by clay dating back 500,000 years ago in Africa. They have found stone structures under the sands of the Sahara they think to be 20,000 years old. We had a great reset at some point and most everything was lost. The scope of which we will never know because there was no catalyst for preservation like other species were afforded. View Quote Your post contradicts itself. |

Not a speech but some scribbled notes Lincoln wrote.
"But still there is more. It calls up the indefinite past. When Columbus first sought this continent---when Christ suffered on the cross---when Moses led Israel through the Red-Sea---nay, even, when Adam first came from the hand of his Maker---then as now, Niagara was roaring here. The eyes of that species of extinct giants, whose bones fill the mounds of America, have gazed on Niagara, as ours do now. Co[n]temporary with the whole race of men, and older than the first man, Niagara is strong, and fresh to-day as ten thousand years ago. The Mammoth and Mastadon---now so long dead, that fragments of their monstrous bones, alone testify, that they ever lived, have gazed on Niagara. In that long---long time, never still for a single moment. Never dried, never froze, never slept, never rested," Yes the Mammoth and Mastodon were giant species indeed. |

Quoted: Genesis 6:4 4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. Absolutely there were giants, and within ~6 years they will make a come back View Quote Yep. Matthew 24:37 King James Version 37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. |

Quoted: Bro people were like 4 feet tall back then. If Goliath was 6 foot tall he could have been considered a giant. View Quote The Bible clearly states the height of several giants. 1 Samuel 17:4 King James Version 4 And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. Deuteronomy 3:11 King James Version 11 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man. BTW a cubit was 18 inches. |

Anyone ever considered the effort it would take for all the conspiracies to be true? And to what end? What profit would there be hiding giants and Bigfoot? Humans are the most scary creatures of all, maybe we make up monsters to help feel better about ourselves.

Of course they did - Lincoln was a Bible believer and the Bible tells us there were Giants and the Bible is without error and is Gods Holy word
Only a fool would deny that |

There were giants in the land back just a few thousand years ago I'm pretty sure.
Maybe not like "Jack and the Beanstalk," but I believe they were existent all the same. The thing is, is that typical humans are getting bigger and taller as time goes on due to nutrition and other factors involved to make us larger like an abundance of food and supplements, the natural evolutionary process and so on. So, if true, and they did exist for some amount of time, then it seems as if some of what actually made them giants was due to outside factors concerning their origins that we just don't understand yet. I have a cousin who is close to seven feet tall. Almost an anomaly. These archaic specimens are anywhere from ten to eleven feet tall with a few extraordinary cases where it is purported that they grew to over thirteen feet in length. That would be approximately six feet taller than my cousin is now. |

And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. Moses wrote this 3500 years ago according to the reports of Joshua and Caleb in the Book of Numbers |

Quoted: Massive cranium from Harbin in northeastern China establishes a new Middle Pleistocene human lineage https://www.cell.com/the-innovation/fulltext/S2666-6758 View Quote That's probably the only way giants could have existed, a different species of human. Most of the 7'6" and up people can barely walk, we just can't scale up like that. Shit, I remember a few cases of tall kids from a few years ago- -6'10" 400lb 14 year old in Michigan, biggest feet in the world, pituitary issues. He's going to be fucked in a few years. -7'7" teenager in Europe, probably under 200 pounds. It was painful to watch him move. -some guy close to 8' from a commie country became a Canadian citizen, I think, as a gateway to play ball here, could barely jog around. |

Given Einstein’s work and the calculations regarding the expansion of the universe there are differences that could make one place a few millennia and others millions of years old.

Quoted: a) Looks like he was referring to Mammoths and Mastadons b) There's no reason for Lincoln to know more about giant cryptozoological humanoids than the average street bum, so who cares what he thought about that? https://quod.lib.umich.edu/l/lincoln/lincoln2/1:6?rgn=div1;view=fulltext ....But still there is more.

People can't be bothered to actually look for context clues and only look at small bits in isolation - not just here, but in many other cases of famous lines, in speeches, songs, etc. Things that are clearly understood when you actually read the whole thing rather than selectively pulling one bit out on its own. "Giant" is a size descriptor and does not necessarily mean "giant humans". Nothing here indicates that was the intent - in fact, the continued speech indicates that it was likely simply referring to extinct megafauna well-known to science, not a mythical species of giant humans. |

I believe that they definitely existed, the beings that created humanity, also banged some hot human tail that according to "history" born the world giants.. these giants eventually started eating humans which led to our creator unleashing a flood to wipe out these abominations.
I have more, if you're interested, but this kind of stuff is criptonite to GD. |

Let me interject Sagan's Standard, though it was established well before Carl Sagan's birth.
The Sagan standard—"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"—according to psychologist Patrizio Tressoldi, "is at the heart of the scientific method, and a model for critical thinking, rational thought and skepticism everywhere". For example, based on the Sagan standard, if I claim that I saw a unicorn on my way to work, then I would be expected to produce stronger evidence in order to verify that claim than if I claimed that I saw a horse. This is because there is substantial evidence showing that horses exist, but no meaningful evidence which shows that unicorns exist, which makes the latter claim extraordinary. |

Quoted: Flat earth, giants, Bigfoot, it all falls into this category where science has a reasonable answer. Some people refuse to accept certain aspects of reality. View Quote I’m happy that you come to every religious thread and shower those that follow Christ with your bloviating. You are not a fan, I get it. I also get how smart you are and how dumb I am for believing in Christ. You and the FBI have something in common don’t you. I can say with high confidence, that this DOJ will never open a 1023 on you for your religious beliefs will they. If a worm is what you think you came from, ultimately, you will likely get your wish, and return to one if you have hardened (reprobate) your heart. Good luck with that. If I’m wrong, I may look foolish to the clowns. If you’re wrong, you have an eternity at the worm farm to work out. |

Do you suppose that when a dinosaur bone was uncovered people thought it was from a giant?
|

I think the stories about giants originated from 2 things: huge megalithic structures and dinosaur fossils exposed by natural erosion.
Simple people saw giant stone structures, said "no way a normal size man could have moved this, must have been giants". Combine that with finding a huge femur and it's "oh yeah, this bone here must be from those giants we talked about." Dragons and Cyclops are also most likely derived from imagining the creature who must have left those giant bones in the ground. |
