GIANTS IN THE BIBLE
PROF. M. M. NINAN
This will probably fit the description in every sense. The children of Adam are indeed Children of God
and were giants.
Once Adam and Eve were thrown out into the wide earth they certainly had come into contact with
the ordinary humans who were hunter gatherers of the earth. Since we are not given the names of
the wives of the children of Adam and Eve and also the children of the progeny, we can very well
assume that they took wives from among the nomads. They might have been strong and beautiful as
the verse suggests. Since Adam's sons were of giant stature, the children born with them were of the
giant stature. When the verse says there were giants on the earth at that time, we should think they
were referring to the minority humans of the children of Adam. Adamic progeny were few in number
compared the people of the wide earth. But after the flood, some of the genes were carried over
and the size became really giant size since the height and size of the humans as well as that of the
Adamic people after the flood was indeed only of the order of 6 feet. Thus the occasional giants were
noticed. Apart from the post-flood conditions of earth and the fast decay rate and poor nourishment of
the outside of Eden vegetables and other food, the marriage of Adamic people with the non-Adamic
humans would have been another cause of decrease in the size and stature of the children of Adam.
The giant Adamsons married normal less than 6 foot human women and eventually, every one
became short. Only in rare cases the giants are formed - a lingering genes.
