Why are so many Christians convinced that giants lived in the past when there is no evidence?

Why are so many Christians convinced that giants lived in the past when there is no evidence?

There are a number of accounts in scripture that discuss the existence of Angels. Beginning in Genesis and a more detailed account in the book of Enoch.

Genesis 6: 4

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 bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Jude 6

6 “And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.”

Numbers 13:33

And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

Amos 2:9,

Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.

2 Peter 2:4

For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

Enoch 7:9-14

9. These are the names of their chiefs: Samyaza, who was their leader, Urakabarameel, Akibeel, Tamiel, Ramuel, Danel, Azkeel, Saraknyal, Asael, Armers, Batraal, Anane, Zavebe, Samsaveel, Ertael, Turel, Yomyael, Arazyal. These were the prefects of the two hundred angels, and the remainder were all with them.

10. Then they took wives, each choosing for himself; whom they began to approach, and with whom they cohabited; teaching them sorcery, incantations, and the dividing of roots and trees.

11. And the women conceiving brought forth giants,

12. Whose stature was each three hundred cubits (450 feet). These devoured all which the labour of men produced; until it became impossible to feed them;

13. When they turned themselves against men, in order to devour them;

14. And began to injure birds, beasts, reptiles, and fishes, to eat their flesh one after another, and to drink their blood.

Consider this, a Cubit is a measure from the tip of the middle finger to the bottom of the elbow roughly 18 inches, these giants were 450 feet by measure.

Over the last several years, many biblical accounts have been supported through archeological support.

A 2011 US Supreme Court ruling has forced the Smithsonian institution to release classified papers dating from the early 1900’s that proves the organization was involved in a major historical cover up of evidence showing giant human remains in the tens of thousands, had been uncovered all across America and were ordered to be destroyed by high level administrators to protect the mainstream chronology of human evolution at the time.

The court stated:

“There has been a major cover up by western archaeological institutions since the early 1900’s to make us believe that America was first colonized by Asian peoples migrating through the Bering Strait 15,000 years ago, when in fact, there are hundreds of thousands of burial mounds all over America which the Natives claim were there a long time before them, and that show traces of a highly developed civilization, complex use of metal alloys and where giant human skeleton remains are frequently found but still go unreported in the media and news outlets”

A turning point of the court case was when a 1.3 meter long human femur bone was shown as evidence in court of the existence of giant human bones. The evidence came as a blow to the Smithsonian’s lawyers as the bone had been stolen from the Smithsonian by one of their high level curators in the mid 1930’s who had kept the bone in his home, he admitted on his deathbed in writing of the undercover operations of the Smithsonian.

The US Supreme Court has since forced the Smithsonian Institution to publicly release classified information about anything related to the “destruction of evidence pertaining to the mound builder culture” and to elements “relative to human skeletons of greater height than usual”

There are many pictures that are faked and posted in various forms, but as a court record there are pictures released from the Smithsonian as part of the court case found in a Wisconsin burial ground in 1912 as well as others locations around the world.

Why are so many Christians convinced that giants lived in the past when there is no evidence?

Regardless of skepticism, more and more artifacts are being unearthed that support biblical accounts. Believe them, don’t believe them is a matter of choice. For those who believe in the biblical accounts these discoveries only support a faith they had maintained, for this who don’t believe, there is nothing they will accept as evidence until they are face to face with a God they never believed in, and in that regard it will be to late.
