The Bible tells of giants called Nephilim before and after the Flood: "There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown." Genesis 6:4-5 (KJV). The mythology and legends of many different cultures include monsters of human appearance but prodigious size and strength.

@rpbauer the bible is a history book,you could learn alot from it. science cant explain everything. if you think we are the only people in this entire universe, you are dreaming.untill people change their way of thinking, they will continue to think like barbaric neanderthal animals.i think some people came from apes,because they act just like them.

@rpbauer 1 You obviously don't understand how suppression works nor do you know your history very well.
2 That you are willing to dismiss *any* idea without hearing the evidence is intellectual dishonesty. Ideas live or die in a free society (not that we live in one) based on their evidence, which you haven't heard, but seem more than willing to discount.
*That* is how religion operates....contempt prior to investigation.

@LordShandor You should quit before you paint yourself into a corner of fruitcakery, sir. Giants, highly advanced ancient weapons, secret Nazi weapons yet undiscovered (Isn't that an Indiana Jones plot?) and roundly dismissing theories that are based on much more substance than skepticism for the sake of skepticism. Let's simply agree that you're out there ... way out there.

@rpbauer It has some merit, oral traditions in separate cultures recount a war with the giants. These cultures are never supposed to have had any contact (Amerinds and Greeks for example). The fossil record is presented to advance an agenda. What does not fit is tossed aside, destroyed or suppressed.

@rpbauer The big bang is hardly "well reasoned". The Egyptians inherited the pyramids from a legacy civilization, they did not build them nor did they understand what they were. Try listening to the argument for *why* before you dismiss it.
'There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance—that principle is contempt prior to investigation.'

@CupCakeArmy1 Nonsense, whitewashes are not inquiries. Those skeptical of the AGW story were never consulted on the matter. When you investigate a crook, you don't get a gang of crooks with obvious conflicts of interest to look into the matter, nor do you ask his buddies if he did it. Anyone with an ounce of objectivity who has read the evidence for themselves will see there is plenty of foul play at work and the methods of science were ignored.

@CupCakeArmy1 Well put. Our friend Lord Shandor seems to be into some pretty far-fetched pseudo-science. For example, he dismisses Carl Sagan's brand of well-reasoned cosmology, but directed me to this Joseph Farrell chap who argues that the Great Pyramid of Giza is some sort of highly advanced acoustical weapon engineered by the ancient Egyptians (the same civilization who buried their aristocracy with their organs in jars so they could reclaim them in the afterlife.) Love it!
