Our combining of science and technology is making this feat very real(and probably behind closed doors). Sounds like the men of renown are already here, working behind the curtains.

Yes, I hear you...
that is an interesting thought, and thanks for your comments!

Wow, another very interesting thread.

I believe giants existed because the Bible says so.

This is where as Christians we have to be a little careful. If we go around talking about giants, the world is going to think we are very silly, superstituous people. Even some fellow Christians think that. But the truth is, there is much scientific evidence that very large people lived in the past, as shown in some of the articles and photos here. As Christians we never need fear true science, because true science will always agree with God's truth in the end. It is false, psuedo-science we have to fight against.

I have never quite understood why, but evolutionists do not like the idea of giant humans and usually try to discredit serious findings of evidence.

Who knows?, maybe someday they will find Goliath's remains, it ought to be pretty easy to identify him with that stone stuck in his forehead.

Me too brother!

Very true, good point...

Yeah I'd like to see that in National Geographic...

Ruckman says that if a nations name ended in an "im or im's" they were decedents of the Giants.

I think it's generally true, if not competely. I remember running into these names quite often in my recent readings through the Scriptures. Here is a non comprehensive list I threw together to help those who are curious to see these names in Scripture for themselves. This list doesn't include all the names that end in *im, just those groups of *ims.

Cherubims (Ge 3:24; Ex 25:18-20,22; 26:1,31; 36:8,35; 37:7-9; Nu 7:89; 1Sa 4:4; 2Sa 6:2; 1Ki 6:23,25,27-29,32,35; 7:29,36; 8:6-7; 2Ki 19:15; 1Ch 13:6; 28:18; 2Ch 3:7,10-11,13-14; 5:7-8; Ps 80:1; 99:1; Isa 37:16; Eze 10:1-3,5-9,15-16,18-20; 11:22; 41:18,20,25; Heb 9:5)
Seraphims (Isa 6:2,6)
Rephaims (Ge 14:5; 15:20; 2Sa 5:18,22; 23:13; 1Ch 11:15; 14:9; Isa 17:5)
Zuzims (Ge 14:5)
Emims (Ge 14:5; De 2:10-11)
Anakims (De 1:28; 2:10-11,21; 9:2; Jos 11:21-22; 14:12,15)
Horims (De 2:12,22)
Zamzummims (De 2:20)
Avims (De 2:23; Jos 18:23 [this one I question a bit])
Caphtorims (Ge 10:14; De 2:23)
Nethinims (1Ch 9:2; Ezr 2:43,58,70; 7:7,24; 8:17,20; Ne 3:26,31; 7:46,60,73; 10:28; 11:3,21)
Lubims (2Ch 12:3; 16:8; Na 3:9)
Sukkiims (2Ch 12:3)
Mehunims (2Ch 26:7; Ezr 2:50)
Cherethims (Eze 25:16)
Gammadims (Eze 27:11)

Pretty interesting to consider where the *ims come from, and then see two types of angelic beings named with names that end in *im.

Peace and Love,
Stephen
