Yes, they still do exist but they moved from New York to San Francisco.

There never were any true giants. Just taller and larger bodied people in different areas of the world. To a shorter, smaller race anyone much taller and bigger in stature would appear different and in comparison to what they were used to seeing they might appear to be "giants."

Frankly basketball players of today look like giants to me but I know that they are just taller people. Much taller. Some over 7 feet tall.

It is also very feasible that the "giants" spoke of in the Old Testament of Scripture were prehistoric animals. It is also known that some of the prehistoric tribes of humankind were taller than others.

Keep in mind that the Bible itself encompasses a very, very long period of time and that anything in the OT of the Bible was for many, many, many years passed on by Oral Tradition or the word of mouth before it was finally written down. The OT contains hyperbole, sagas, poetry, songs, legends and nice stories which are intended to make a point but not necessarily factual. It also contains census reports and actual historical events. It's up to us to use reason and logic and our evolved intelligence when reading any of the accounts of Scripture.

Sorry but Jonah was not actually swallowed by a whale. Whales only eat minute things and even if he was accidently swallowed by a whale he would not have survived inside it's belly without oxygen and he would have been digested. In that case Jonah would have been pooped out on another shore instead of being spit out. But the story makes the point that when God asks us to do something his Will will be done regardless of how much we try to fight doing it and like always good comes out of it in spite of how we feel the outcome will be.
