The Bible mentions an ancient race called the nephilim, which has often been translated as "giants." Genesis states that:
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men and they bore children to them, the same became mighty men who were of old, men of renown. (Gen. 6:4 KJV)

There is some evidence that some people still have some of the traits from giants such as a double row of teeth and six fingers or toes. Those are some good sites mentioned in the first two answers also check out www.s8int.com the verses should be mentioned there!

We can explain giants the same way we explain dwarfs, its genetics.
As for the Nephilim, they have been wrongly translated as a race of giant men. Actually what they were was a speices of creatures that were alive at one time but have died off due to the Flood. We know them today by the fossils they left behind.
Today we call them dinosaurs.

God wiped out the giants in the flood, but then later in the bible they seem to appear again. The reason is that man became wicked once again and letted for evil spirits to come back in there way of living. Nefelins died in the flood, but you can't drown a spirit. Their spirits must of gone somewhere and waited for the right time to introduce them selfs back in earth.

Rev. 12:4
1/3 of the angels (demons) got cast out of heaven with Lucifer and breaded with human woman,
That where the Giants came from in Gen. before the flood
Satan was crused and dust of the ground he will eat
Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Gen. 3:15
And I will put enimity between (thee seed and the woman seed) and between they seed and her seed it shall bruise they (Satan) head and thous shalt bruise his (Jesus) heel.
Look at Revelations 1:15
And his (Jesus) feet like unto Fire brass, as if they burned in a furnance; and his voice as the sound of many waters
I heard one of Noah's son was married to offspring of a giant (a demon on the ark) I was told.

Well, all I can explain about Giants is that those characters remind me a lot of ancient greek mythology.
I feel there is some kind of connection...

The main purpose of the bible is to reveal God to mankind, his nature, his love, his promises and his guidance. You will not find detailed explanations about every creature that walks the earth.
