When were these, very large Giants on the earth? Long before the flood. They were long gone before the flood.

How convenient. But the Bible says there were giants after the flood too.

We do have skeletons from more recent, yet ancient, times. However, this totally went against the heads of the Darwinian, evolutionary movement... so the people who made such finds were either robbed of their finds....they were taken with the assumption that they would be put in a museum but instead... hidden, "lost" or destroyed.

Let's see your documentation of this. What are your sources for your assertion that finds were robbed out, hidden or lost?

I have done my research... time for you to do some yourself.
Read, for instance, the book "
The Ancient Giants Who Ruled America: The Missing Skeletons and the Great Smithsonian Cover-Up
Written by Richard J Dewhurst.

Without looking at the link... let me guess... someone or some group didn't like this author telling the truth so.......they discredit him....

Am I right?

Yep... a guy, with some education, that makes his living exposing any film, writing or other presentation that goes against the standard line of thinking...."exposing skeptics" so to speak..

So.. does the term "your word against mine" work here? I think so...

One guy saying another guy is wrong... so.... you present him as the gospel truth...

People like this cannot agree with anything that breaks the "predetermined truth".. if they do.. they will end up like Virginia Steen-Mcintyre.... a woman who dated some artifacts as being way older than the acceptable "predetermined" Hive mind would allow.

The artifacts were taken... she had an almost impossible time finding work, funding or publishing papers... In her words.... It destroyed her career....

So, don't believe it when someone states that some evidence toward a Giant race has been proven to be a hoax or false or.......heaven forbid... Snopes tells you it is false..

We live in a world where truth has ceased to steer science and knowledge...... and are now in a world where the fake truth has been set and all presented "evidence" must correspond to it or be discredited.

Great sermon.

Your evidence amounts to a video and a conspiracy theory.
Your knowledge of the subject amounts to denial of things you don't know.
So maybe it's a good idea to be more inquisitive in stead of condescending.
just saying..

Correct.
There were quite a few wars against giant tribes too, in that same Bible.
God even commanded his people to leave no one alive, not even their children sometimes.
In Biblical history Goliath of Gad and his brothers were the last ones (mentioned).

Let's see your documentation of this. What are your sources for your assertion that finds were robbed out, hidden or lost?
Here's some:
Creation - The Written Truth: #GIANT FOOTPRINTS #ROCCAMONFINA GIANT #PINGYAN VILLAGE FOOTPRINT #MPULUZI SOUTH AFRICA GIANT FOOTPRINT #MICHAEL TELLINGER #CHRISTIAN #CREATION SCIENCE #BILLY GRAHAM #CATHOLIC SCIENCE #GENESIS 6:4 #ANSWERS IN GENESIS #CREATION MINISTRIES #ONE MILLION MOMNS #MOPS #MOTHERS OF PRESCHOOLERS

and you can take a look here:

Don't get me wrong, i don't expect this will convince you, and maybe it shouldn't.
I would agree it's 'incredible'.
I wish i had more to show, this was just what came up in a quick and shallow search.
I don't have bookmarks or files at hand.

see post #48

Well, that did not answer anything about your statement as to what the word chalal means.
My post 140 was about that.

Your post is about what someone else thinks about Nimrod. Why are you getting information about biblical matters from no biblical sources? Fiction put out by so called professors is still fiction.
You are not interested in truth, you want to believe these silly things and no amount of logic or scholarly material is going to change your mind.

It is sol much more interesting to believe that these ancient things were built by human half breeds with fallen angels then to even consider the fact that Adam and Eve were created by God and were not created to be ignorant idiots with the IQ of a maggot. Adam named all the animals---their intellect was far superior to ours. Has that not ever crossed your mind? In a few lousy years on this earth--60-80--we can produce geniuses like Leonardo da Vinci---what do you think that Adam and Eve and their children could do in 900 years?? They were able to use all of their brains--do you know what a savant can do? Without training produce music, memorize entire phone books, paint works of art to revile anything done by the masters---Adam and Eve and their children were total savants---without any idiot part. They were not Neanderthals sitting around a fireplace gnawing on bones and grunting.
en 4:20 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
Gen 4:21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
Gen 4:22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
Read you bible more and not works of fiction. These people had technology we do not. And they had the time and conditions to develop all their talents. There were no famines, no drought no flooding yet. The ground was cursed compared to what it had been in Eden, but far superior to ours now. They In a few years today-- a woman can produce over 20 children--that is in about maybe 30 years---Adam and Eve were spitting them out for hundreds of years and so did their children--by the time Adam and Eve died they were chin deep in decedents. All of them with IQ;s far above ours. They had technology to do all these things that nobody today can figure out. They had brains that retained what they learned. Noah and his children were the same. And they passed on that knowledge after the flood. After the flood, lifespan was shortened, and the earth was further cursed, and so were their heights. Adam and Eve and their children were magnificently made, tall, incredibly intelligent--after the flood everything diminished. People split up into groups and carried their knowledge with them where it ended up being controlled by the elite, by the spiritual leaders of each tribe and gradually lost as those died without passing on that knowledge. It is what happens. Shortened, height, shortened lifespans, shortened intellect, less time to develop talents and more time spent on just plain survival. No aliens from space, no fallen angels producing giants--they were giants themselves. If you don't make up stories to go with what the bible says, it all makes sense. There are real explanations for the true meaning of those ancient words that people have mixed up and changed to mean something they never meant. The real shame is not that there were half breeds of fallen angels and humans---but that humans themselves have degenerated from what once was a very lofty height indeed.

Nephilim are as Biblical as it gets.
Evidence to support Biblical history is always non Biblical.
Archaeology is not reading Scripture.
There are no bones in the Bible.

You've never even done one bit of research on what that word meant to those who wrote it.

Of course i have.
It means fallen ones or corrupted ones, although opinions vary a little.
But in the context of the Bible it is clear what they were and that they were also present after the flood, as i already explained.

But again, it isn't about evidence, is it?

[There were giants in the earth] npiliym , from naaphal , "he fell." Those who had apostatized or fallen from the true religion. The Septuagint translate the original word by gigantes, which literally signifies earth-born, and which we, following them, term giants, without having any reference to the meaning of the word, which we generally conceive to signify persons of enormous stature. But the word when properly understood makes a very just disinction between the sons of men and the sons of God; those were the nephilim , the fallen earth-born men, with the animal and devilish mind. These were the sons of God, who were born from above, children of the kingdom, because children of God. Hence, we may suppose originated the different appellatives given to sinners and saints, the former were termed gigantes (Greek), "earth-born", and the latter, hagioi , i.e. saints, persons not of the earth, or separated from the earth.
[The same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.] giboriym , which we render "mighty men", signifies properly conquerors, heroes, from gaabar , "he prevailed, was victorious." and °ansheey hashem , "men of the name," anthroopoi onomastoi , Septuagint; the same as we render men of renown, renominati, twice named, as the word implies, having one name which they derived from their fathers, and another which they acquired by their daring exploits and enterprises.
It may be necessary to remark here that our translators have rendered seven different Hebrew words by the one term giants, viz., nephilim. gibborim, enachim, rephaim, emim, and zamzummim; by which appellatives are probably meant in general persons of great knowledge, piety, courage, wickedness, etc., and not men of enormous stature, as is generally conjectured.

That would mean that there was a more advanced civilization in the distant past, would it not?

No, not really. Just people who were more skilled at building these structures. For them, it was 'normal' to put up these amazing structures.

Funny you should mention the Egyptians.... they were related to the Giants... Canaanites and Egyptian ancient societies were family.

Check out the shape of King Tuts head. Check out the architecture.
Check out the art work...Check out the fact that much of the same technology used in Brazil is identical to that used in Egypt..

It is now believed that the pyramids are pre flood structures.

You can ignore it all you want...

As for me:

The Bible states it
Other ancient books reinforce it
Physical evidence on this earth confirms it.

I seek truth even if it contradicts the academic "norm" that has the society of today racked with cognitive dissonance.

I will believe what I see and hold it far above what some dude at a university expects his students to regurgitate in order to receive a doctorate of false history.

There is no physical evidence for gigantic people. None. Only via Photoshop!

The evidence too big to bury:

OK I'll admit we cannot go physically look at huge skeletons anywhere but we have enormous megaliths all over the earth that are too large to cover up.
There are several buildings on earth with single stones weighing in at a thousand tons or more cut perfectly and stacked on top of other stones.
There is a cool video about a group moving a 30 ton stone for an artistic work. It took the largest cranes and a specially built truck we have to move it a mile and pick it up 20 feet. It cost a fortune and of course we had to use hydrolic cranes.

So, at a time when we are told man only had copper chisels and pounding stones these gigantic structures were made with rock quarried a couple of hundred miles away, transported huge distances and often over large hills and lifted up and stacked up. The stones were cut so perfectly that they fit tightly with no mortar.

There is simply no way for modern man to replicate this, so how did oogie-boogie hunter-gatherers do it??? Somebody got some 'splaining to do.
