While watching the “In Search Of
Giants” show, I found something disturbing. The show accuses
scientists of sweeping the evidence that giants existed under the rug
because it “refutes the theory of evolution.” What part of
random do these lunkheads not understand? Proving that giants, even
ones with double rows of teeth, roamed the earth at the same time as
our ancestors does not harm the theory of evolution any more than the
evidence showing that humanoids and Neanderthals roamed the earth at
the same time our ancestors did. What would be far more damaging to
the theory of evolution would be proof of a nice neat linear
progression leading directly to God's most magnificent creature, us.
I will submit to you that if someone
was trying to hide evidence of the existence of giants, it was not
done by anyone trying to protect a scientific theory; not unless that
person was incredibly ignorant of the very theory he was trying to
protect. One of the most difficult tasks for any historian is the
task of ascribing a motive for any given action. I would be as
irresponsible as the people on that show if I said that a person who
believes in creationism is far more likely to have hidden the
evidence.
It is much better stick to the what and where. Leave the conjecture to someone else, Content yourself with
finding the evidence to prove the existence of the giants! Doing
that should be dramatic enough to draw the viewers.
