I won't believe it until I see it in the World Weekly News.
I believe this is the origin of the Giants mentioned in the Bible.
Genesis Chapter 6
1 When men began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born to them,
2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair; and they took to wife such of them as they chose.
3 Then the LORD said, "My spirit shall not abide in man for ever, for he is flesh, but his days shall be a hundred and twenty years."
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown.
LOL First thing Adam said to Eve was "Stand back baby, I'm not sure how big this is gonna get!" Merry Christmas!
:') There are references to giants in the OT; in the account of the Conquest, an iron bedstead that had belonged to some notorious legendary giant; and more famously, the giants who were remnants of a larger population, and lived among the enemies of the Israelites.
Deut 3:11 -- 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.
