So when the Bible mentions giants you consider that to be myth.There is no evidence whatsoever of a giant race of human beings. We also now have a very good idea of how both Stonehenge and the pyramids were constructed. They did not have metal tools or machine power but the ancient engineers were very clever.
What is why?Ya thats why there would have to be a high level of gene editing and/or splicing to get one to be big enough to ride.

Because the only bird that is remotely large enough, the ostrich, to carry a person is not built for flying, so once gene editing gets good enough we could say either hybradize it with something else or directly change it so that its wings could be larger and functional... Or using genes from it to bulk up another species... Or do a completely artificial edit and coming up with a virtually new species.What is why?

I'd be very surprised if no one who sees the potential of gene manipulation hasnt made an effort to try to see how far it could go. Dont know if anyone has considered this idea that we have here specifically.Has this actually been considered?
Maybe it is easier to get a Pegasus like equine to fly than a ostrich. Those birds just don't look too aerodynamically stable. In fact, even on the ground they always seem to be somewhat off center.I'd be very surprised if no one who sees the potential of gene manipulation hasnt made an effort to try to see how far it could go.

I actually got the idea from some old sci fi story where they modified a horse to have wings that were usable in a very low gravity environment entertainment park.. So people could have their own pegasi for a day.
Could it refer to dinos? I would have no problem with giants having lived such as Goliath. But when we see a book like the so called book of Enoch talking about sky high people...that is very hard to believe, in fact seems ridiculous.So when the Bible mentions giants you consider that to be myth.
closer to how goliath was. Males are in the upper 7s low 8s on average and the females were generally around 6 ft.Could it refer to dinos?

Goliath was something like 10 feet tall if I recall.closer to how goliath was. Males are in the upper 7s low 8s on average and the females were generally around 6 ft.
yeah, i recall 9 feet.. Cant remember if it was a low nine or high one tho.Goliath was something like 10 feet tall if I recall.
Your point is what...that you doubt?yeah, i recall 9 feet.. Cant remember if it was a low nine or high one tho.

Interesting. Most accounts ive seen were north eastern US, I was unaware of the utah accounts. (for deceased finds)These are some pretty tall people as well:
Hows about having a wife this size?

Please note that I don't consider Goliath and any other of the people mentioned in the Post Floodworld as Nephilim. So my preference for the Masoretic text isn't based on that belief.Absolutely ... mythological. Humans much taller than 9 feet can barely move, their weight (cube function) overpowering thier strength (square function), also they break bones on almost any fall and live shortened lives.
As far as "Goliath" is concerned: his height, as described in various ancient manuscript, varies: the oldest manuscripts — the Dead Sea Scrolls text of Samuel, the 1st century historian Josephus, and the 4th century Septuagint manuscripts — all give his height as "four cubits and a span" (6 feet 9 inches) whereas the Masoretic Text gives this as an unlikely "six cubits and a span" (9 feet 9 inches).
What's so fetched about it? The Watusi reach 7 plus feet and there are documented cases of people exceeding that height by a foot or more..That's fine I don't believe any of it, I'm just supplying evidence that that indicates how unlikely it all is.
Unlikely doesn't equate with impossible."Four cubits and a span" is reasonable, "six cubits and a span" is highly unlikely.
Abiogenesis has nothing to do with the alleged height of the alleged Goliath.
Along with a penchant for logical fallacy you seem to be having trouble with statistics and basic physics. Have you never wondered why there are no giant ants like in the movies? Here's a hint, the same reason there are no humans "six cubits and a span."
