so what happens if they have a child that only grows to be 7 feet 11 inches tall? What race is it then? I'm assuming 8 is your cutoff point here?
Quote:Quote:Most of the very tall people have an imbalance of their growth hormones, they do not need to come from tall parents. That's not a "race".Indeed it is not, but that is not what I said. I said is it not hard to imagine a race meaning (no hormone imbalance) people who were tall as a result of their genes.
No, it's also not hard to imagine dragons. Your point? You were the one who linked pictures of tall people to support your point, I was just pointing out that they're not part of a "tall race", but instead very likely have an excess of growth hormones. Before you go any further, height isn't 1 gene. It's multiple genes that are also affected by environmental factors. So tall people don't necessarily have tall children. And all tall people's heights were influenced by their environment.

Again double edged sword.
"I guess anything Goes when you try and prove the bible wrong."
What have I said that is fantasy? Point it out.
