Was Jimmy Akind the One Blocking after 10:12? · Whether Yes or No, He Made Up for the Displeasure!
In this case, it's clear it was he. My comments continue from previous.
11:26 It can be mentioned that Numbers 13 has ὑπερμήκεις - exceedingly long.
11:53 Other mentions of the sons of Anak neither call them nephelim, nor call them tall.
19:17 Retracting that, Deut 2 says "tall as the Anakim" and this is outside the report of the spies.
13:24 "People immediately asked how it would be possible for an angel to mate with a human, given that angels don't have bodies."
I'd like the source for this "immediately" - St. Augustine is hardly the first commentator.
That angels are totally acorporeal is not a dogma of the Church, nor probably even Patristic consensus, one CF, I think Damascene, saying "angels are incorporeal to us, but corporeal to God" - or "compared to" for "to" ...
St. Athanasius is describing what demons do to help Egyptian pagan priests predict the coming of Nile floodings within days, "they run quickly" - sounds more like superheros than like incorporeal beings to me.
23:51 The story of Ymir obviously combines giants with the stories of Flood and of Enlil killing Tiamat.
There are other Near East references in Norse myths, like Baldr doubling Osiris ...
One of my clues the Odin who came to Uppsala region (Uppsala itself founded after he died and was said to have "returned to Valhalla") was an oriental.
My favourite candidate for Odin being the Yeshu who was disciple of Joshua ben Pekharia (siding with those few who deny this person of the Talmud refers to Our Lord, at least that part of his story).
34:07 Actually, rulers existed at least in Egypt.
Alte Maße und Gewichte (Altes Ägypten) gave me the units to calculate:
Goliath 2.919 m - 3.407 m (small cubit and small span or great cubit and great span)
For comparison : Robert Wadlow 2.72 m
43:18 We have "six cubits and a span" earlier on than in the extant Masoretic text - namely in the Vulgate.
44:52 How many weaver's beams have you dug up archaeologically?
Does the weight seem like what a normal person couldn't use as a spear, but only a giant could?
Besides, there is the TED talk by the journalist who considered Goliath as suffering from acromegaly, which affected the pituitary gland, which troubled his eyesight - note how David's single staff is referred to as "sticks" in the plural.
[this TED talk seems based on the article cited in the following]
47:16 If it's not a trace of a giant, that stone, it could be one of a giant Flood - like Genesis 7 to 9.
Boulders are sometimes very far from where the original mineral came from.
50:16 "more than 10 000 years old" - i e dated to that age.
Nothing actually is that old.
58:30 I think David was very wise not to get close to Goliath's wrestling abilities.
André the Giant being a great wrestler.
But wrestlers usually don't crush someone to death - Goliath probably could have. One reason to hold him taller than André.
1:01:00 This article is arguably what the journalist doing the TED talk was going by.

1:03:58 I would say post-Flood giants, as you say, would have mutations on chromosome 11.
For the pre-Flood ones, I hold to more robust races, like Neanderthal or even more likely Denisovan and Soloensis. There there were other conditions, with the thorax, with the mitochondriae, with the Y-chromosomes in the case of men.
