The oxygen-levels, if we're talking prehistoric times and all of that, would have been higher on account of a bunch of stuff, including, but no limited to, a different ecology. During the jurassic era, the oxygen levels in the air were something like 25% higher than they are now.
Furthermore, it stand to reason that a somewhat higher level of oxygen , no too high though, than what plants and such have evolved for would affect their growth.
Oxygen is a fuel of sorts, one that fuels other other processes in our bodies, and the less complicated the organism, the more likely it would be that more oxygen helped it grow faster in a shorter period of time, what with everything working faster and better with less energy expended to take up more oxygen.
Plants especially have the sort of uniform cellular makeup that makes it very easy to scale up without any negative side effects. Just more of the same thing.
People aren't really made for up-scaling very far. Like sextent already pointed out our skeletal structure and lungs couldn't handle that sort of size (that of the hoax-skeleton above), not even with 25% more oxygen in the air.
As for the Smithsonian destroying 13 feet tall specimens, well, I have to say I doubt your sources, a tad. Biologically, it's probably not impossible, a person could survive being that size, I reckon. They would probably not be the fittest for survival, though. Could be extreme cases of gigantism hit that height, though it can't be very common.
I have a hard time seeing why anyone (anyone not mental anyways) would supress that sort of thing because it gives "support to the bible", as you say. Although a hella lot of people on the planet don't care one iota about what the bible says or don't, it doesn't mean that they would refrain from reporting something noeworthy, if the bible happened to mention something tha sounded a bit like it.
Haha, Best comment of the day :DQuote:

Many of these have been found & the Smithsonian have hidden or destroyed many of them. I forget the tallest but many have been found around 13 feet tall.

the firmament would block many of the suns rays that causes us live shorter lives in years & literally not grow as tall.
Why not?Quote:

supposedly, the only thing that can block the "harmful rays" of the sun is water, concrete, & lead.

No worries, though. The whole "theory" comes off as a bit mental, and maybe I read you as taking it a lot more seriously than you did. If you don't put any stock in the theory, you oughtn't take owt I said as being directed at yourself, but more a response to the nuttery behind it.Quote:

If you weren't real someone would have to make you up, like :dabs:
ouch
Barbarossa lol no i think your retarted starting an internet war with me ohhh my im so scared say that to me in person nad you would be knocked out on the ground nerd.
Oh goody, an ITG. :happy:
Oh yeah, I'll snap your arm like a twig :ghey:
Anyone who starts a sentence with "lol" isn't worth my time, quite frankly.
eh I didnt know how to take it really, hard to read the intent some of these posts are directed with out tone of voice & facial expression.Quote:

I put more stock in this theory than I do the theory of us evolving from an amoeba, or primordial soup. Again Im not stating anything as fact because no one know for 100% fact. Its easy to believe something that we have been force fed as a child and is accepted by most & easy to disregard something that most everyone laughs at. The majority isnt always right. But what one believes isnt goin to kill us, is it? Or will it?
I used to love that series as a kid!Quote:

How do you know he's got a baldy napper.
It says it on his avatar, like.
That's why it's so cool. It's got the Crome-Dome. phottyshop effect like.
No, that's the mental who e-threatened Barbie.
I'm talking about the other guy who believes stuff because he believes it, stick that science garbage up yer arse. No offence like but nobody really knows anything really.
Oh.
He might be baldy though.
Probably is like.
Probly, I was just wondering if you knew him :earl: or anything.Quote:

No not because you all may assume I have to have a reason for my existence but because of the events in my life I have witnessed and other reasons. Im not trying to make you all believe what I lean to be more truth that fiction. Im just giving my opinion.Quote:

I believe in God, because that's what I believe. We call it faith.
I believe in evolution because all the best scientific thinking, based on a plethora of evidence and study says that it's the most likely solution. By quite some distance.
I do not see the two as mutually exclusive. Neither does any non-mental religion. We can't just ignore the facts.
Oh, the ironing.
Read the site the chap posted, that'll shut your yap Mr so called Snee.
I do know this as a fact, (according to the Bible) whether we believe in evolution or creationism, is not what gets us to Heaven. So one day one of us will be able to say, I told you so! I cant wait for that day, and to tell you I told you so. :naughty: But then it wont matter so all this will probably be forgotten.Quote:

Ah, so science does not produce facts, however the Bible does. That's an interesting take.Quote:
