You don't provide ANY sources or evidence, so don't moan about a non-existent requirement for "scholarly" sources.
Height is often related to adequate nourishment in a person's time of growth. At least that is how they explained the greater adult height of Japanese who grew up after World War II when better nutrition was available. Some ethnic groups are simply taller than others (and others are shorter), as I mentioned. No need to invoke Biblical giants.
So, what's your "book"? I'm not interested in "whattabout" rabbit chases. You brought it up; you take the return service. Maybe you should carry your side of the argument and not spit out "maybe-you-shoulds" as reading assignments. Basketball is replete with guys at 7 feet in height. That's the human race for you. (Hottentots are very short. Do we claim the Biblical existence of dwarves?)
You mumble about genetics as though it were a magic word that will get you out of a troubling spot and then refer to works of fiction. Fiction? I thought we were talking about reality, here. And then you blast at me. Net result, you are an empty shirt. It's embarrassing how you collapse under a challenge.
A challenge? You take this entirely too seriously. I don’t know if you are aware or not but people are allowed to have fun in life. Everything I write here could be as fluid as spaghetti bologna. You act as if my entire image as a man rests upon my ability to appease you with anything I say or have an opinion about. This is the internet you realize that right? Maybe you’ve been indoctrinated into an AI system for too long.
Okay. If it is all meant in jest, I can revise my opinion. I take things at face value out of respect. You have to realize that, unfortunately, there are those on this page that are dead serious about such subjects as the Nephilim. I don't give a shit about the Internet. As far as I am concerned, these are conversations. If you play a false tune, don't get too good at it, or you will be taken seriously.
That said, there seem to be archaeological examples of human beings that really merit the description of "giant," being 10 feet tall, etc. But that is a puzzle, not a proof of the Bible. (And not that I am saying that the Bible needs any "proof." I walk outdoors and there is proof enough to be seen. There are many things true of Creation that God did not mention.)
