GIANTS OF ANTIQUITY
Before the flood (Noah’s
flood-atmospheric collapse) everything in the world grew faster and lived
longer, because the atmospheric pressure was higher with a higher amount of
oxygen. The whole world was a Hyperbaric Chamber--The Garden of Eden.
Everything was super healthy and
there were no anaerobic critters like viruses cancers etc thriving as today.
A reptile never stops growing its
whole life, in the pre flood world they grew much faster and lived much longer,
hence a Dinosaur/giant lizard. Dinosaurs did NOT go extinct, they are still
here, just smaller. The earth is not millions of years old and man did walk with
dinosaurs, and still does!
To understand why things grew much bigger, and understand that man did live/walk with the dinosaurs, is to understand that man grew much faster (and lived much longer) and much bigger as well. Man was 2 - 4 times bigger than today (a 12 foot person being small), and because of the Hyperbaric-condition, man could run all day without getting winded, unlike today.
People say man could not have survived with the dinosaurs. What if men were three times larger than they are today? A handful of men 20 feet tall could take on a very large creature with just some simple tools (spears, big spears etc). The Bible says man AND animals ate plant food (vegetarian), they didn’t kill and eat each other.
Genesis 1:
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
Interesting, it even says the animals ate plant food. After the flood, life spans shorten, and things get/are smaller.
The pre flood world was hugely different than today. Just imagining animals not eating each other is a tough one.
Very large fossilized human foot prints have been found.

DID CAVE MEN LIVE HUNDREDS OF YEARS?
One of the most ridiculed portions
of the Bible is the chapters in the book of Genesis that give vast ages for the
patriarchs. Men once regularly lived to be over 900 years old! However, longevity
dropped significantly after the Flood to a few hundred years, and finally came
down to current averages by the time of the Exodus.
What could cause such a dramatic drop-off in longevity since primeval times? Art Brown presents his theory of senescence (aging) in the book Methuselah’s Secret. After reviewing evidence like longevity statistics vis-à-vis geography, people who live in steep canyons and valleys and attain great ages, the puzzling jump in longevity in the 1911-1951 timeframe (greater even than the jump brought about by miracle drugs since) when automation in transportation and production moved people indoors, Brown concludes that exposure to the sun's UV radiation is responsible for dramatically shortening our lives. His work climaxes with the sensational story of the Dickerson children. These children lived secreted away in an attic until they were teenagers.

Art Brown submits that
Methuselah’s secret was the canopy surrounding the early earth that blocked
harmful sunlight.
Dr. Jack Cuozzo extensively studied Neanderthal bones and came to some startling conclusions. Based upon both cranial measurements (pictured on right) and tooth enamel wear, Cuozzo estimates the age at death being 250-300 years old! (Buried Alive, p. 203, p.234) Besides the early earth environment that may have contributed to such longevity, Cuozzo cites recent evidence from reconstructing ancient mammalian enzymes to show a dramatic decrease in efficiency over time. Such devolution could contribute in multiple ways to the wearing out of biological systems (p. 268).

John Cuozzo (a post-doctoral
fellow in molecular biology at MIT) is joining his father in studying the
effects of decay in various organisms, including lions and horses. Intelligent
Design theorists would predict that life-forms in the fossil record would be
larger, healthier and enjoy greater longevity than modern ones. This is because
these biological systems will deteriorate over time. Can the scriptures be a
reliable source for such scientific insight into the natural world?
While the Bible is not a science
text, there are several lines of evidence that the Bible is God's Word.
