Did Giants exist?

TeabagSalad said:
Proof that there are tall humans has been provided (and is largely unnecessary because we know tall humans exist).

Proof has not been provided for a non-human race of giants.

Proof has also been presented of technology not avialable to the pre-historical people you believe in to have create such advanced cuts and placement of extremely large stones....How do you explain them? I'm guessing you're an ancient astronaut theorist.

Not proof, just unfounded speculation.

First you find a quarry with rocks that have nice clean cleavage planes. Then you cut slots in the rock at intervals along a cleavage plane (picture). Then put wooden wedges in the slots, and pour water onto the wedges. The wood will swell and split the rock along the natural cleavage plane.

There is a description of the process at The Unfinished Obelisk.

We have the archaeology to tell us how the stones were quarried. You are the one closer to the ancient astronaut theory.

We have the evidence; you don't.

This doesn't explain the grooves, holes..precision....moving and placement.

Humans can make holes. Humans can make grooves. What level of precision are we talking about? Has the presition been measured, and how accurate was the measuring device?

Moving? Men, levers, ropes, a sled or rollers. Why would this be a problem?

Some YouTube video making claims without any support is not going to convince us, as you should already have realised.

Yes there were larger than average humans in the past, just as there are now. It is hardly surprising that they are mentioned in the Bible, and in other ancient texts and stories. Finn MacCool in Ireland and Benandonner in Scotland were both giants, and caused Giant's Causeway.

This is how they built the pyramids? OK...LOL.

Well, you watched a video on Men, levers, ropes, a sled or rollers...and were convinced.

Reference please. That means a reference to a scientific paper.

It does. The sons of God mated with human women. If they could mate then they were from the same species, human. Therefore the offspring of that mating, Nephilim, were also human.

Your giants were human, just taller than average.

Made from the same species??? Says who??? You???

Says basic biology. Members of a species can breed together, and not with other species. Can a sparrow breed with a mouse? No, they are different species.

If the sons of God and human women could breed, then the sons of God were human, just as Jesus was human. You do accept that Jesus, the Son of God, was human, I assume. You have no support for any claim that the sons of God were not human.

The Biblical giants were tall humans.
