A ‘giant’ in Biblical times could have been someone 6 feet tall...............
Your point?
My first thoughts.
But they were closer to nine feet tall, not six.
From wiki:
“In 1 Enoch, they were “great giants, whose height was three hundred cubits.” A Cubit being 18 inches (45 centimetres), this would make them 450 ft tall (137.16 metres).”

Com’on man. I saw The Ten Commandments and Ben Hur and even saw David & Bathsheba. All the men were near or over 6 feet tall. :)

Yep. People can read into passages like that all sorts of things.
Regarding “The Nephilim were the offspring of heavenly beings who were placed in the spiritual realm to watch over the earth in those days. They were principalities in the heavenly realm”
That sounds like spiritual entities but we really don’t know what they are. Jesus did not elaborate.
Goliath was a “cubit and a span” putting him about 9 feet 6 minutes tall or so
Except the Bible actually gives us the height of some of them, and they were much more than 6 feet tall.
I don’t know about that. There have been findings throughout the world of skeletons that are 8-12 feet in height. I have not heard of anything higher than that though. There were giant remains found on Catalina Island about 100 years ago by Ralph Glidden.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC has several Greek helmets from the time of the Iliad on display, and from the look of them, Achilles must have been smaller than a modern seventh grader.

If you read the second to last article, they describe a giant name Og bed.
“The Biblical measurement of an amah, literally the length of a forearm, is 9.2 inches, which would mean that Og’s bed was over 14 feet long and over six feet wide.”
Very big bed.
I remember reading where they found remains of Giants in China.
Sorry that his QUOTES here will tend to make some folks think what he said was in the Bible.
It ain't.
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
5 The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 6 The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. It does NOT say the GIANTs mated with the Humans; it merely says they were on the earth. ??? So; just WHO are the sons of God and the daughters of humans??? The BOOK says: Let Us create Man in Our image. So there you get some 'sons of God'; right?? The BOOK also says, in Genesis 5:3-4 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. 4 After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. These things happened BEFORE Genesis chapter 6....
