There were several questions on this but i didn't see any provide any good evidence.
Today, one of my first graders showed me a book he had in his bookbag. It was a children's bible of sorts. It had lots of bible stories and pictures to go with them. One page that caught my eye was the one about giants. I realize they were supposed to be angels and man's mixture, but is there ANY truth to this?
I do not believe everything in the bible. In fact, I don't believe much of it that I have read about. I need fact and proof before I blindly agree with something.
So I am asking someone to provide me with a website that proves that giants did exsist, from where, and pictures would be nice!

If they exist now why wouldn't they back then? Maybe not as tall but there are giants still.

You can agree, or disagree, your choice.
There is a reference in the Irish mythological cycle to giants, how the ancient Gods/Goddess' of Ireland were once giants, who eventually shrank away into fairy folks in the shadows.
I think, and this is from the pagan perspective, that mythologies are referencing a literary tool to make grand the hero's of lore. In the bible, honored people are also referenced as being of great age, as well as the reference to the giants that supposedly once walked the land.
I am thinking - how would BCE man take a dinosaur skeleton? Not knowing the history of the planet, this could be the skull of a great giant of old. How would you take it if you did not know modern Natural History?
If you google this you might come up with some interesting side notes and discussions.
Not proof, but some food for thought.

Read the holy bible and in it the chapters of Gensis starting first chapter until you get to the part about the giants and it will detail all the information you needs to know. It will give you the facts and proof needed. Now being you do not believe everything in the bible perhaps this will enlightened you somewhat.

Umm, I don't think they had cameras to take pictures with during the time the Bible was written. So a website with photos is probably out of the question. However, there were giants...ever hear of David and Goliath? It is a true account. Read it in 1st Samuel.

Sons of God and sons of man can mean wicked and God's followers, not necessarily angels. The Bible never gives that idea any traction. Most people who believe that think believe that shows the Bible is pure fantasy. The Bible also says angels are not given or taken in marriage, meaning they don't have sex. So, they wouldn't have sex with people either. However, there are giant people living now. it's a genetic thing, it doesn't in any way make the Bible unreliable.

Well I am certainly not an archaeologist but I read somewhere that some Assyrian king's femur (leg bone) was like five feet long. Naturally though that wouldn't PROVE that fallen angels had relations with women, it would just prove that there was a tall person back then.

Yes, what we would call giants. Gen 6 I think. If I remember correctly, the angels left their habitation (heaven) and came to earth to marry. Supposedly they were more super human than flesh born through the womb. I believe they like Satan have all ready been damned to hell for their choice. MHO

There is evidence yes, but its not proof but it is, we'll say, consistant. According to the Bible, Goliath was one of those "giants" But, he was only 10 ft tall... which is BIG mind you but still he was the biggest of them. So the other "giants" were likely 7ft - 8 ft and there have been remains of very tall people dug up, especially along the Amazon, which has been notorious for growing very tall people.

Remember Andre the Giant?
And, I think it comes from people's growth hormones acting funny. I Think that just a standard human man, human woman mixture at work there.

Click on Genesis 6 Giants. There isn't as much on his site than is in his book though. I own the book, and there are actual pictures of mummified giants, and recorded accounts from very famous historic figures, such as Julius Caesar.

If you are looking for Biblical answers check the Book of Enoch. It gives a very detailed account of the incident.
