Goliath was a giant among men. The Bible never gives his exact dimentions. It could have been a 7 foot guy really well built who was the best fighter their army had to offer. Andre was called a giant, but he wasn't 3-7 meters tall. Just huge compared to others.

i've heard of these guys...always thought if they did exist it would have ben alot easier for them to have built the pyramids, stonehenge etc....

"Show about Giants on the History Channel" thread is one big huge database on the nature and finds about and dealing with Giants.

I found this in a bible dictionary:


GOLIATH

Based on the figures in the Bible (1 Sam. 17:4), Goliath was at least 9 1/2 feet tall and perhaps as tall as 11 feet. The magnificence of Goliath's armor and weapons-- his bronze coat of mail, bronze greaves, bronze javelin, spear with an iron spearhead, and huge sword-- must have made him appear invincible.

Just imagine the sheer size of Paul Wight (Big Show) the wrestler, 7'2". Now imagine Goliath standing next to him at at least 9'6", he would dwarf the Big Show.

Kevin Nash and the Big Show against Goliath, that would be cool.

Yes Goliath was a real creature, created by God, and God didn't liked those Giants, and God killed them too (Nephilim) even though they build the Refaim (of which is also spoken in the Bible) which looks like Stonehedge, in Israel.

If I understand what you're saying, the omnipotent Judeo-Christian god created something he didn't like? so he destroyed them, or let them be destroyed?

If that is the gist of what you're saying, how did you come to that conclusion? Not being critical, just very curious..

If you wish to please U2U me.

Thank You.

Wasn't there another thread on this a couple of months ago? I remember seeing that site with the monolithic bones there. Interesting Info. It's hard to say really what or how they came to become as big as they were. There are very very few accounts in history of these people. It could be one of many things. Abstracts of Nature, Decendants of the Annunaki, Hybrids etc etc. And the liklihood of one ever finding out the truth is far and few between.

So let me get this straight.

The all knowing God, the creator of all, Creates these giants, and kills them.

Why would god create them knowing all well that he would hate them, so he kills them?

Errrrrrrrrrr...that does not make sense to me.

The average hight of humans those days was shorter than it is now, so im sure andre the giant might have appeared as a giant to them.

Hi. Why would God create something and hate it? That is a very good question. It wasn't because of the fact that he was a giant that God despised Goliath, it was because he was evil, and God hates evil. Plus, Satan and his fallen angels are free to roam Earth. They are constantly trying to mess up/influence God's creations. It is possible that Goliath was something more of Satan's design anyway. So God's hate comes from how certain people such as Goliath have become evil, not from how He originally created them. I hope that clears something up?

Also, about people being shorter in the past. I believe you are right, but I think that's only true for some races such as the Anglo Saxons or many caucasian descents. There have always been races of tall peoples. Especially in Africa, and who knows where else.

This might not be related, but...... according to a newspaper article these beings as in I suppose Goliath did exist along side man as we know them.

In a missing book of genesis(don't bite me yet I am looking of links to this alleged book and references in Genesis) There did exist theses super humans who were tall and stronger Goliath seems to fit that genre.

The flood was them done to wipe out these giants or so it was written. This apparently also explained the out of place artifacts.

I am still looking into it, if it was true certainly would answer how some civilisations did things others can't yet still fathom out how.
