Unfortunately, when I was at University one of the assignments in my Mamalian Biology class was to work out mathmaticaly just how big a human being could get before no longer being a viable organism.
The answer? About 9' 3" is the limit for the human biological configuration. Above that height 3 complications arise: 1) the circulatory system is no longer adequate for successful operation. A 10 foot tall human being would require a heart the size of a suitcase and bloodvessels with a tensile wall strength equivelent to kevlar to take the pressure needed. 2) The skeletal system is no longer capable of supporting the weight of the organism. Bones with a tensile strength equivelent to steel would be necessary. And 3) Remember that when an object doubles in height, it quadruples in mass. Above this height the human body no longer has sufficient surface area to dissapate heat.
So a 15 foot tall human organism is physically impossible. Deal with it.
You know, you'd think we'd have found, if not a fossil, at least a gravesite of someone that tall if this was true.
My, everyone is so white! Oh, and look at the obedient little wifey, too scared to let go of her husband. Awwwww .
You guys! They have a drawing! I didn't realize they had drawings. All this time, we've been demanding proof, and here, they had this drawing all along. We can just pack up and go home now.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
