This is some of the goofiest shit I have ever heard. If these biblical Nephilim giants ever existed, and someone had evidence of that existence, what would be the motivation for hiding it?
Scientists do not avoid biblical references because of some vast conspiracy. They leave that stuff out because those stories do not agree with their findings and/or do not add any useful information.
A great many scientists are Christian, Jewish, or Muslim. If the Nephilim ever existed and evidence was found that proved it, scientists would not shut up about it. It would be impossible to keep it quiet.
Can you imagine the museum traffic if such evidence existed? People would travel from all over the world to see even a tiny fragment. No curator in his or her right mind would pass up that opportunity!
Most scientists who study it literally agree that Jesus Christ was a real person who lived around the time and had a following. They just disagree on the divinity aspect. But they are totally fine with saying “yeah, this dude probably existed and preached”. Science has NO PROBLEM with religion, it just doesn’t blindly believe it. Noah’s flood is another example of “these stories were likely based on some actual events that occured”.
If giants were real, just like pygmies are real, we’d happily discuss them.
Just to point out that Noah’s Ark is lifted from a Sumerian(?) story that is linked to the epic of Gilgamesh. Also Meltwater pulse 1B probably left some cultural memories that got merged with it at some point.
Yeah that’s also what I’m referring to, a good amount of the story beats were taken from the Sumerian Flood Myth. Meltwater Pulse 1B was a major flooding event that raised the sea level quite a bit within about 80 years and is probably the basis of a lot of flood myths.
Or even just the floodplains of the Nile flooding. A persons concept of “The World” was much smaller back then. If everything you know is flooded, that might as well be the whole world from your perspective.
Because religious people also know that reason and rationality and evidence is the way to go, so they’re trying to assert that science is actually dogmatic and refusing reality while the Bible is factually correct and not the dogmatic garbage which it actually is.

I’m referring to “a great flood” which, yes, tho exaggerated, many scientists believe did occur and was the basis for such stories.
