It was as I described:
http://web.cn.edu/kwheeler/Genesis_texts.html

Are you saying that you agree with the explanation from that site?

In so far as what is topically being discussed here on this thread concerning genesis 1&2 yes. I originally had a link to an 'ask-a-rabbi' site that said the same thing, but I can not find it.

You do know - probably not since its you - that the David-Goliath story is one of the classic anachronisms used by Archaeologist Israel Finkelstein iin his book David and Solomon to demonstrate that these silly stories date to the 7th century BC?

Great

My 'cut off' was the height of golith. He was reported to be between 8 and 10ft tall. You asked what height makes a giant. I said Golith was a giant, and he was between 8 and 10 feet tall.

Quote:No, it's also not hard to imagine dragons. Your point?
and they lived... That's what dinosaurs are.

Quote: 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.
because that is what you see now. (after I pointed it out to you, because if you remember you were of the thought that all giants are mythical.)


Quote:What have I said that is fantasy? Point it out.

Begging the question you have presupposed I am alluding to only fantasy. I said anything goes when your trying to prove the bible wrong. "Anything" is not limited to just fantasy.

A good example of 'anything goes' is dismissing a 8 to 10 foot man as a gaint. Calling him a fairy tale, even though we have living examples of Humans growing that large.
