There were giants in the earth in those days;.... Genesis 6:4
"Almost every type of organism was larger in the past.
Q: Why is the world impoverished of giants today?
There are impressive plants and animals today: giant sequoias, blue
whales, giant squid, mighty elephants, tall giraffes and California
condors. Live Science
showed a photo of a cane toad so large they dubbed it “Toadzilla.”
But
no matter the category, most plants and animals had larger counterparts
in the past, and today’s giants, like the giant tortoises of the
Galapagos, are often endangered species, found in isolated refugia.
Fossils show larger fish, larger birds, larger insects, larger mammals
and, of course, larger reptiles: the mighty dinosaurs—so gigantic they
almost reached a limit of what was physically possible for a walking
animal. Q: Why is that?
A: Evolutionists cannot explain this. They resort to
storytelling in “Darwinian fantasy land,” copping out with escape
tactics like climate change, excuses like “it’s complex,” and resorting
to miracle plots like “convergent evolution.”
Our created
planet was made for a rich, abundant biosphere. Genesis portrays the
seas, the air, and the land filled with creatures of all types and
sizes. The biosphere glorified God’s design and creativity with displays
of artistic engineering in every habitat.
We live in a relatively impoverished world today after
the Flood, with the record of giant creatures in the rocks bearing
silent testimony of a richer time. However, our present world remains
abundantly filled with evidence of God’s power and wisdom (Psalm 104). We still have responsibility to be good stewards of all that is left." CEH
