As most of you here know, I was LCMS Lutheran for awhile and they are young earth creationists, which I didn’t believe in. When I came back to the RCC I was worried that Catholics couldn’t believe in an old earth. Now, tonight I’m having the opposite problem after reading this, below.
The LCMS believe the Bible is literal and they believe that giants once lived on earth, which is something I also didn’t believe until I read this, below. Then I got to thinking that what if the Bible is right and there really were giants one time on earth, what does that say about the age of the earth? I wondered what if the earth really is young rather than billions of years old?
So here’s my question: I know Catholics don’t have to believe everything in the Bible is literal…..that evolution could’ve occurred, the earth can be billions of years old etc. but can faithful Catholics also believe the earth is young and that everything in the Bible is meant to be taken literally?

5,000-Year-Old Layer of Earth Beneath an Egyptian Tomb Reveals Two 30-Foot Giant Bodies
An international team of archaeologists has made an astonishing discovery in a desert region of Egypt: two gigantic bodies, approximately 9 meters high, have been found under layers of earth dating back more than 5,000 years. This discovery, unprecedented in the history of archaeology, could rewrite what we know about ancient civilizations and their understanding of the “human.”
The discovery took place while researchers were excavating a complex of forgotten tombs deep in the Egyptian desert. According to team leader Dr. Ahmed el-Hassan, the bodies were found under a layer of compacted earth that protected the remains from erosion and time. “What we found exceeds any expectations. “These colossal figures are incredibly well preserved, and preliminary dating suggests they are more than five millennia old,” said Dr. Hassan.
The skeletons are impressive both for their size and their state of preservation. Each measures nearly 9 meters tall, with anatomically correct proportions that rule out the possibility of deformities or known pathological conditions. Additionally, the remains show signs of advanced mummification, suggesting that these gigantic figures could have occupied a significant place in the culture and mythology of their time.
The discovery has sparked an avalanche of theories among experts. One hypothesis suggests that these “giants” could be related to ancient myths about beings of enormous size that inhabited the Earth. Egyptian texts, such as Book of the Deadrefer to gigantic figures that interacted with gods and pharaohs, which raises the possibility that these bodies are real representations of said stories.
Another, more cautious theory suggests that the bodies could belong to an unknown or extinct human species. Ongoing genetic analyzes seek to determine whether there is a correlation with modern human DNA or whether, on the contrary, they represent an entirely different branch of evolution.
In addition to the bodies, archaeologists found large-scale tools and artifacts, apparently designed for hands of colossal size. Among the objects recovered, ceremonial weapons, bracelets decorated with solar motifs and a gigantic sarcophagus sculpted in stone, possibly built specifically for these figures, stand out.
This discovery raises profound questions about ancient civilizations and the possible coexistence with beings of extraordinary sizes. It also challenges our understanding of historical records, which until now have shown no conclusive evidence of the existence of giants.
“This find could open a new window into a past we never imagined,” said Dr. Clara Menéndez, an anthropologist at the European Institute of Archaeological Studies. “It not only challenges what we think we know about human history, but also about the cultural interactions and legends we often dismiss as mythology.”
The research team continues to analyze the remains in specialized laboratories, including carbon dating tests and DNA studies. Preliminary results are expected in the coming months, while excavations at the site remain ongoing.
Although there are still many questions to be answered, one thing is clear: this find could be one of the most significant in the history of modern archaeology, shedding new light on the mysteries of the past and the possible reality behind the legends of giants.
