I haven't yet contributed to any studying yet so here is my first two cents:

So apparently there is a link between people with acromegaly (gigantism) giving birth to children with extra extremities. Acromegaly is a disorder that causes an overproduction of Growth Hormone. 

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4113151/

So Goliath's son had six fingers and six toes (Chronicles 20:6-7) and of course Goliath was either six foot nine or nine foot six, my belief being six nine.

I also have it on good authority that the Israelites of that time were a lot shorter than we are today. This would certainly explain how Goliath was perceived as I giant.

This idea of pituitary disorders also gives testament to the giants of Genesis chapter 6. Science validates the story of David and Golaith :)

Very interesting and good evidence AngellinT. I have a 3rd cousin who was born with 6 toes on each foot and 6 fingers on each hand(shortly after birth they removed his extra pinky fingers, though he still has 12 toes.) He was my height until we were 16 then he grew incredibly fast and became very tall but not 9  feet tall.

Really? Science validates history. ??? Science often disproves itself. The whole concept of accepting scientific proof of much of anything seems to me to be rather limiting at best.

May I suggest a look at the following as "evidence" https://www.forbes.com/sites/startswithabang/2017/11/22/scientific-proof-is-a-myth/#2e5582cf2fb1 ? It might be of some interest regarding counting upon scientific  proofs.

Science does not disprove itself, science disproves men and their theories.

Look at this from the perspective of a non believer. 

Yes, the big bang theory, the theory of evolution, those are scientific THEORIES. The link between gitantism and children born with extra extremities however is a medical FACT. This fact was not known by the Israelites. The Israelites did however, record rock solid proof of Goliath having been a giant. That proof was Goliath's kid, who had extra extremities, indicative of a giant father.  

To have recorded proof of gigantism is to disprove the non believer's stance that Goliath could not have existed, therefore it is impossible to say, with honesty, that Goliath's existence is impossible. Science has made the idea of David and Goliath plausible to those who would otherwise have never believed without scientific conformation of the Bible's recorded events.

This is HUGE for Christians, as science now becomes our ally in shedding light on the lies that non believers succumb to, one of those lies being that it is impossible for giants to exist. Tell your atheist friends of this proof. They will be intellectually disarmed instantly. 

Men cannot argue with science, only with other men.

As a small child we are to trust completely in Christ and every word in the bible .

We test all thoughts , we test all that we hear  , all that we are told by whether or not it agrees with Truth .

All of what you have said can surely make sense to the carnal mind of humans .   But here is why it is wrong .

The bible actually gives the real true measurement of GOLIATH .  and a cubit is eighteen inches .  I GO with what God inspired and HE did inspire

the HOLY scrips .     My advice is that all who names the name of JESUS do an all out return to bibles only and let us learn well those wonderous scrips .

Nine and a half feet! My goodness he really was that tall? I would not have guessed.  

However, pretend I am an atheist. I demand scientific proof of the Bibles validity. Only then will I consider reading anything other than a waste of time. Prove my atheism false. 

This is the point I'm trying to make. Should science be dismissed it it can give an atheist faith in Christ? Heck no!

The problem with people and science is their lack of understanding in it basic begin... up is not up because there is no other way for things to be but because God in the beginning said let there be and from non existent became existent and rules with that existent came also with! God tells us this about this creation

2 Peter 3:10-14
 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
KJV

and in this new heaven and earth that which will be> is in NO WAY comparable< to that which is now for it is also written

1 Cor 2:9-13

9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
KJV
so if science, of now, is to be elevated in any form at all it should be that it is a witness of God steadfastness within His Word.... I tell the children all the time that even in their running they are in error... for they give the ground credit for upholding them when in fact it is God's Word that is doing so!

That's kind of adorable. I bet he can outrun ya with that extra traction!

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
