In Search Of Giants


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.
