According the Grok, a sandal that is 32.5 centimetres is averaging 7’1” in height, but he might be up to 8’2” in height.

A human with feet requiring sandals of 32.5 cm would likely be approximately 216–217 cm tall (about 7 feet 1 inch), with a range of roughly 203 cm to 250 cm (6 feet 8 inches to 8 feet 2 inches) depending on individual proportions.

I seem to recall that one of the Roman historians described northern peoples as being taller than the Romans.

“...concerning climate events...”

There seems no end to what can be blamed on ‘climate change’, even if it hasn’t happened yet...

Nephilim is a general term used in Scripture to point out satan’s attempt to corrupt the blood line that would produce Jesus Christ. Goliath was a Philistine mentioned in the book of Samuel. Goliath was of Nephilim lineage.

I understand your perception of why Noah built the Arch for 150 years on the demand of God. Noah was a great man, but shortly after the flood subsided, Noah sinned again. It’s just our way. Concerning Goliath though, it doesn’t preclude the fact that Satan would have stopped trying to corrupt the bloodline of Jesus by returning to what his angels did prior to the flood. I would love you have a Bible study with you as you seem to be a sincere Christian.

Oh, I’m pretty clear on the chronology. Wasn’t the Flood supposed to eliminate those of impure blood? Didn’t the Flood predate David’s little dust-up with Goliath? I wonder if David honed his sling skills by hunting dinosaurs.

The short people won...

Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason to live

They got little hands
Little eyes
They walk around tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Don't want no short people 'round here
