the only quantifiers in the post i responded to were "human-like" and "giant" both ambiguous terms....

Well, human-like generally entails bi-pedal.

I'm not certain if a bi-pedal animal could become as large as described. In fact, I'm highly doubtful.


It's not as bad as the theories/myths of giant invertebrates, though. Anything with an open circulatory system can not get much bigger than a lobster.

i dunno what is described...my issue wasn't with anything in the article or discussed anywhere outside the post(s) i responded to


if bipedal is what we are using as a determinate for "human-like" then as far as how big a bipedal animal can get...look no further than Giganotosaurus

There is actually a LOT of debate about bipedal dinosaurs like gigantosaurus and the t-rex. A lot of leading paleontologists who focus on them argue that the original fossil reconstruction is incorrect. Still, a big variance between those and humanoids is the large tail that could help re-center their balance and gravity.


I'm not saying giants as prescribed by this kind of mythos are impossible. That's silly and that's false science. I'm saying that, by our current knowledge there is no credible evidence that they did exist. That doesn't mean that pursuits for that kind of evidence are invalid, they're just currently considered unlikely. That's how the scientific method works.

HE "destroyed the Amorites before you, whose height was as the height of cedar trees".


"And the women have borne giants, and the whole earth has thereby been filled with blood and unrighteousness".


"And now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall be called evil spirits upon the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling".


"The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature. 33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight"

"For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man"


and then poor ole Goliath appears to be the last of the giants. 100s of years, different areas, different writers, and named Giant mobs.

Hehe my wife loved this stuff!
