I'm not religious either (although I was brought up by a "Jewish" father), but Biblical history, as it can be applied to the history of the world, has become somewhat of a recent interest of mine.
The possibility that giants once roamed the world seems oddly appealing. The Bible honestly reads better than any fantasy novel I've ever encountered. Hope that doesn't come across as offensive.
As an aside, true Christians are some of the nicest people that I have ever met. For instance, there was a woman I set next to on a flight from Charlotte to Philadelphia this past January; she was the only person to ever openly pray for my safety and wellbeing. It's not like I was in any danger at the time; we had just become friendly throughout the duration of the flight. That experience has stuck with me throughout these past months. Her husband is certainly a lucky man.

Are they all fictional? https://www.google.com/search?q=the+...9LhBv620aNNxYM

I’d venture to say that there’s a distinction between “gigantism” as a recognized medical condition, and gigantism as referenced throughout the Bible. Besides, didn’t Wadlow pass away at an early age?
If I recall correctly, those afflicted with gigantism have relatively short lifespans. Whether or not there’s Biblical implications to be derived from this is another story altogether, in my opinion.

Nilotes also have gigantism?
I just wanted to show you, that very tall people exist. How they were named it is different story. People 3000 years ago did not know the word gigantism neither did not differenciated between very tall human vs. gigant/ficional gigant. To be a giant it is enaugh to be very tall. 2.5 m people live normaly today even without side effects. And such guy would be called giant through all history until some 100 years ago, when unbelivers emerged wanting to deny even reality for denying the Bible. And could be also that some particular genes were characteristic for some inbred tribe, which could be even higher. Apes were gigantic, so human could be too.
