Adam

[Neighbor]

Hey, it occurs to me that I have a question though: just what makes you think that Adam was NOT 60 cubits tall? Does anything in the Bible state that for you one way or another? It will be nice to read some factual assertion of how tall was Adam. Maybe you have some Bible reference to share?

You are irrational, preposterous.

Come on Robert, you gotta be kidding. After all the outrageous mockery you posted, to say to Neighbor his are irrational and preposterous? His question actually did make sense.  Actually, he only ask the first question of interest, to me. I assumed Adam was like us. Average height. I haven't actually  thought about it. Do you actually know how tall Adam was, based on scripture? The bible scripture, that is.

I don't know of a scripture that gives Adams height, but I will agree with you that he was probably an average height.   The real reason why I post the words of the pedophile prophet Muhammad is to expose the evil hateful religion of Islam.

The Hadith
Bukhari Vol. V, No. 234: Narrated Aisha: The Prophet was engaged to me when I was a girl six years old…. I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends…. Unexpectedly Allah’s Apostle came to me in the afternoon and my mother handed me over to him. At that time I was a girl of nine years of age.
Bukhari Vol. V, No. 236: The Prophet … married Aisha when she was a girl of six years of age and consummated that marriage when she was nine years old.

Yes, but easily obtained. Take a cow, slit open it's belly, pull the cow out of it's skin, and use the legs for laces.

Oh Robert. How long did you debate as to post this comment or not. Did you take the thought captive, and decide where it came from.  It wasn't the Holy Spirit.  Are you trying to show us where your head is? Someone authorized will be by to take care of it. You got your moment of fame.

 

Sorry for the suggestiveness, however I did use proper medical language.

Those are not my words, it started with nutcase Muhammad.

Sorry also, I hid that post.

Where does the use of Cubit come from as a measurement of height of any creature?

Seems an odd choice of unit. If cubit was of Egyptian origin from around 3000 BC and was the royal cubit the measure of a pharaoh's forearm and hand length from elbow to fingertip. It may have been 18 inches or some other length. Sixty such Cubits would indeed be some 90 feet plus or minus.

If I am to be a young earth theorist, and I am, I kind of wonder if I should find some evidence of 90 foot tall remains even though they would be pre-flood remnants, perhaps fossilized bits.

Adam may have lived some 900 plus years, and would have been alive to know of  Methuselah, but not the great flood. After the flood life span dropped dramatically. See an interesting  page or two at https://answersingenesis.org/bible-timeline/genealogy/did-adam-and-noah-really-live-over-900-years/ 

 Now we are told there were giants in the land, that reference is thought to be by some  of angelic beings , lending some credence to the idea of larger beings than man  yet able to perceive and desire human  females. Were human females of some grander proportion than today and did they live longer lives? Are we all shrinking as well as living shorter lifespans?  Seems to me we are growing ever so slightly, being larger than our immediate ancestors from this side of the great flood. But what of before it? Ah does the proportions of the ark of Noah suggest  humans, his family were of  some greater physical stature? No? No evidence there?

But where is this 90 foot human creation of God, or anything like it?

The idea of the earth being larger today, and therefore the human now smaller is hard to follow, least it is for me.

 The idea that the universe is expanding all the time, that planets are further apart and also larger doesn't in my mind translate into humans also thus look smaller today than they once did.

Unless, the unit of measure was also in flux! And, the cubit though always the length between finger tip and elbow, was also not constant at all. Might it be that 60 cubits of the time of Adam is our six feet of today?

Just having some fun here-
