Michael Tellinger shows off what could be one of the best pieces of evidence that there were giants on Earth a long, long time ago. Geologists have marvelled at this giant foot print in rough granite, about 4 feet long. Some still say that it is a natural erosion pattern.
One of David’s mighty men, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, defeated a large Egyptian man:
“And he killed an Egyptian, a man of great height, five cubits tall. In the Egyptian’s hand there was a spear like a weaver’s beam; and he went down to him with a staff, wrested the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own spear”
1 Chronicles 11:23,
"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown." Gen 6:4
What happens when a spirit being appears as flesh, and unites with a mortal woman, and their two seeds join -- the sperm of the male and the egg of the female?
This was a union which God had forbidden -- for good reason.
The offspring which resulted, were not only proud, insolent, arrogant, and self-centered -- they were also extremely cunning in some cases -- and they were sometimes GIGANTIC in stature!
Men of gigantic stature are also mentioned as existing after the Flood of Noah's time. When the children of Israel sent spies into the land of Canaan, preparatory to invading the land, they were appalled to find giants dwelling in the land. They gave to Moses and the people a frightening, dismaying report:

- "Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and
the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children
of Anak there. . . . We be not able to go up against the people; for
they are stronger than we. And they brought up an evil report of the
land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, 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
great stature. 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 were
we in their sight" (Numbers 13:28-33).

What the Bible Says About Giants
2 Samuel 21
In still another battle, which took place at Gath, there was a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot--twenty-four in all. He also was descended from Rapha. When he taunted Israel, Jonathan son of Shimeah, David's brother, killed him.

Numbers 13:33
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.
Deuteronomy 2:11
Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites called them Emims.
Deuteronomy 2:20
(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
Deuteronomy 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.
Deuteronomy 3:13
And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.
Deu 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.
It doesn't make a big deal about them--no theological points about them except that God's people could defeat anyone.
Scripture states that Goliath was about 9 feet tall.
Og, King of Bashan
described above was thought to have been taller; his bed needed to be
made of iron and was about 15 feet by 6 to 7 feet wide (literally, king
sized).
He was thought to be 10 to 12 feet tall and proportionate. A
cubit is conservatively estimated to be approximately 20 inches.
