According to the Hadiths, Muhammad said Adam was 90 feet tall and humans have been descending in size ever since. Where is there evidence that this has happened? There are no 90 foot tall bones anywhere

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Allah created Adam, making him 60 cubits tall. When He created him, He said to him, "Go and greet that group of angels, and listen to their reply, for it will be your greeting (salutation) and the greeting (salutations of your offspring." So, Adam said (to the angels), As-Salamu Alaikum (i.e. Peace be upon you). The angels said, "As-salamu Alaika wa Rahmatu-l-lahi" (i.e. Peace and Allah's Mercy be upon you). Thus the angels added to Adam's salutation the expression, 'Wa Rahmatu-l-lahi,' Any person who will enter Paradise will resemble Adam (in appearance and figure). People have been decreasing in stature since Adam's creation. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 55, Number 543)

If you believe that an angel came to Muhammed with a word from god, and that Muhammed was the first man to go to space in his ascend to sky, and that the sun sets in murky water, and that the thunder is the sound of angels...etc., it will not be very difficult then to believe that Adam was 90 feet tall

Muhammad probably is referring to the evolutionary idea like when there was a time of the Jurassic era when animals like dinosaurs lived. Could it be possible that there were dinosaur like humans? I am just wondering if there will come a time when people with this line of thinking will confirm that Muhammad is their prophet too.

See, the Hadith is like the Bible, its just hearsay, meaning, its just word of mouth. Its is all what someone heard someone said. Many of these Hadith are very reliable but many are not. The better you understand the Quran the better you will be able to disqualify the not so sensible hadith.

Depends on which Muslim you ask. Some scholars will say those hadith are weak and others will say they are reliable. Either way the qur'an says the garden of eden was not on earth so adam wouldnt have needed food anyways
