These giants in Genesis 6:4 are not human in nature, because they are mighty, they are strong and they were men of renown. Meaning in science, we must not think that they are real humans. They are not real humans because,if they are real humans and only affected excessive growth hormone produced by the pituitary gland. They can be weak, but this is the opposite, they are giants, but they are strong.
Genesis 6:4 says, There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
Giants are those that are higher in statue than ordinary human. They may be 9 or 12 feet in height according to the Bible. You can imagine, if you are 6 feet , double of your size and that is how tall the giants are and this is not common to humans, why? Because humans who grow very very high in statue have some effects in the body which is called " Gigantism" in medical science.
Gigantism is the excessive symmetrical growth, especially of the arms and legs, accompanied by a corresponding growth in height of the body.
In humans, when gigantism begins in childhood, before normal ossification has been completed. It is usually caused by overactivity of the growth hormone.
Hereditary defects that prevent normal ossification at the time of puberty and permits continued growth, may also caused a type of gigantism. Because the growth hormone depresses the secretory powers of the gonads, gigantism is often accompanied by weaknened sexual function which is called eunchoid gigantism. Individuals affected by either type of gigantism are muscularly weak. Acromegaly, a related condition caused excessive production of the pituitary growth hormone, occurs in the third decade of life. It usually results in excessive growth of the feet, and chin.
