Re: Giants??
I am impressed at how little it takes to get you rolling on the floor; I detect that often used tactic of debate; sarcasm, which I find is usually brought out when a more logical rebuttal is not available.
I assume then that you are not a fan of paleontology? That you do not accept as real the many dinosaurs and other creatures which are only known from a single tooth or bone?
"we have about 15 good skeletons of T. rex now, including two that are nearly complete. That's a lot compared to most dinosaurs, which are only known from a single tooth or bone"----Don Lessum, Dino" Don Lessem is the leading presenter of dinosaur science. Author of more than twenty books
You are aware that gigantopithecus (for example) and other of God's creatures described in your science textbooks are known from teeth only? (Nebraska man did turn out to be a pig, so perhaps we should take your point)
When you stop rolling on the floor about that one, and after you catch your breath, let me ask; is it your contention that the thumb belonged to a man of normal height--with hands and fingers twice as big and twice as long as that of the average human?
I myself refuse to believe such nonsense. How could such a man even pick his nose?

Re: Giants??
1)I wrote it five years ago but it was held for moderation until now.
2)Good point! I'll get back to you in five years.
3)I've got to improve my typing speed!
4)It took five years for me to come up with a snappy comeback.
5)Has it been five years? It seemed more like 4 years and 11 months!
6)No, I didn't notice that it was five years ago.
