GIANTS IN THE BIBLE PROF. M. M. NINAN It is very likely that the only way that you would get this genetic disorder to be so strongly reinforced as to have an entire tribes of giants, where every man, woman, and child has the genetic disorder, is by inbreeding. The scientific understanding of hereditary gigantism supports this assertion. (3,8) And we know that these people did practice inbreeding. God confirms these nations practiced inbreeding in Leviticus 18, and this is what it would take to get entire villages of giants, in which every man woman and child was a giant. For instance, FIPA is a dominant trait with only incomplete penetration, meaning it acts recessive in many ways, and so it would be almost impossible to get a whole village of giant people, except if the trait was reinforced through inbreeding, like the close inbreeding Lev 18 mentions, making the trait to show very dominantly….. “And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of [great] stature, whose fingers and toes [were] four and twenty, six [on each hand], and six [on each foot]: and he also was the son of the giant. But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother slew him. These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.” 1 Ch 20:6-8 Like a quarantine, to save much more of humanity from the genetic disorder of gigantism, God had these tribes of giant people to be killed. This was a mercy on any children they may have had, and future generations, as gigantism is a very painful, deforming and disabling genetic disorder. This also was protective against spreading this genetic disorder to all those peoples around them, including the Israelites. (Jdg 3:5-7) http://www.fipapatients.org/disorders/fipa/ Figure below:. Autosomal dominant disease with incomplete penetrance. In this case, the father's abnormal gene was inherited by 2 of his 4 children. Out of the three carriers (the father, one son and one daughter) two patients developed the disease (father and daughter) while the third carries the gene but has not developed the disease. We do not know if this third person (the carrier son in this case) will develop the disease in the future or not, and currently it is not possible to predict this. Families with pituitary adenomas, FIPA families, can be divided into two groups. 40
GIANTS IN THE BIBLE PROF. M. M. NINAN In about 80% of families the gene causing the disease is unknown. The pituitary tumour types occurring in these families are most commonly growth hormone-secreting adenomas (causing acromegaly or acromegalic gigantism), prolactin-secreting adenomas (prolactinomas) or non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPA), very rarely ACTH-secreting adenomas (causing Cushing's disease) or TSH-secreting adenomas. The disease most often starts in adulthood, very rarely in childhood (average age of disease onset in our cohort for AIP negative FIPA patients is 38 years). These families usually only have two or three patients known with the disease. We still have giants even today due this disorder. What about Robert Wadlow? He was born in Alton, Illinois, in 1918. At 8 years old, he was 6’0". At 11 years old, he was 6’7". At 14 years old, he was 7’5". At 17 years old, he was 8’1/2". At 22 years old he was over 8’11" — almost 9’ tall. He died in Manistee, Michigan. His shoes were size 37AA. Was he the result of an angel? No. He was just a big man. (Guinness Book Of World Records, 1976). 41
