Watching a show on "Giants" in the History Channel.
They brought up an interesting fact -
Biblical accounts of Goliath puts him at over 9 ft. all - clearly gigantic
However, the Dead Sea scrolls put him at about 6'9", still extremely tall, and amoung people standing 5'5" or so, very impressive.
But this once again raises questions of the veracity of Biblical account.
Was Goliath actually 9ft tall for the Creationists?
If so, who were the giants that Moses' scouts found? Are those accounts to be taken literally?
If we can't take these historical accounts on face, why take any of the numbers given in the Bible as anything more significant than Grampa's old story about the catfish that got away?
