I don't mind people having an opinion whether or not there were giants,I have my opinion that they did not exist but it bothers me when people try to say it is factually impossible.A few years back we thought that nothing could grow near volcanic vents we now know are teaming with life,we didn't think there were any non-carbon life forms now we know of arsenic based life forms,they thought it was a fact that coelacanths went extinct over 65 million years ago...until people started catching them.A scientific impossibility is a very,very rare thing when it comes to life forms.
If we had never seen a bird and we were trying to prove they exist or not by their description,some people would look at the weight of mammals flesh and bones and determine that it would be impossible for an animal of that size and dimensions to fly and would declare that birds were a mathematical impossibility.

If their stupidity didn't shelter them from the full shame of their actions,their would be alot more republican suicides.

exactly...
some things are "physically/mathematically impossible" until new evidence shatters preconceived notions....like bees being able to fly..
using certain calculations by scientists nearly 100 years ago bees mathematically shouldn't have been able to fly....once new information was available like the super elasticity of wing tendons and using a different formula for their type of flight explained the minor mystery
sometimes it turns out things that were proven impossible by math were simply using the wrong calculations and faulty premises

Koneg is pretty dumb, so we give him a lot of leeway.
Just learn to accept his limited philosophy and dismiss it when it's presented.

My 36 foot cock waivers somewhere between heaven and hell, mostly depending on your sexual persuasion. As far as God is concerned, after the first hook up, he pretty much lets me do what ever eff I want.

Get used to being bothered all the time then?

There's more going on here than just "science" as a generality as you seem to think.
Try physics.
It is physically impossible (right about here you should be getting bothered) for a humanoid being to get as big as the video suggests. Period.
Could some other lifeform with a completely different body style get that big? Certainly, we all know that it's happened. BUT A HUMANOID CAN NOT.
Consider for a moment that to get that big of a foot you need to be about ~36 feet tall.
That's taller than the Argentinosaurus at the hips? The largest most massive creature to walk the earth so far discovered? A humanoid or primate that size?
Impossible.

Impossible.
you are making a great many assumptions...like assuming the body scales identically with the feet as it does in humans...it's a stupid assumption
