Nope. The human skeleton can't support its own weight when we get to about 8 feet tall. Heck, some folks under 8 feet have horrific bone and joint problems. Our height is inherently limited by the materials and structure of our skeletons. No number of YouTube videos or weasel-words will ever change that fact.
People who believe humans are apes? You mean scientists? Awww - does that make you feel icky inside to know that you are a great ape?
You've made so many assertions in your post I don't even know where to start. You say an awful lot of "some say"s and lots of mentions of "they", who are never disclosed. If you can't even bother to research your points before spewing them upon ATS, then why do you think anyone should take you seriously?
Seriously, put your pride to one side, and go read some books. Your ignorance is blinding.

I once thought Giants were just fairy tales but now I think they describe genetic manipulation which took place in an advanced civilization which predated our civilization. The book Enoch is about Giants and it describes in passages donkeys giving birth to elephants something similar to experiments our scientists are performing . Modern giants are the result of a tumour behind the pituitary gland. Height is tied to status now and in the past. An artificial tumour placed behind the pituitary gland could turn an average person into a giant. I heard on Dr.Dean O'dell's show that a surgeon once cut his hand with a scalpel while removing a tumour from a patient.Years later he developed a tumour in the area where he cut his hand. Could be that some ancients figured out the connection with the pituitary gland and growth and maybe even knew enough about tumours to transplant one behind the pituitary gland. Radiation also causes tumours . Mohenjo-Daro looks like it was destroyed by an atomic bomb. Vedic texts also describe nuclear warfare.

That changes nothing. You are arguing from opinion, devoid of supporting evidence. It doesn't matter how much you bleat on about giants - it doesn't change the fact that our lineage is very well understood. There are gaps, but there are no gaps where human-like giants could have existed.

Blargh.
Evolution is a scientific theory, meaning it has evidence supporting it, can be falsified, can be experimented upon, and can be used to predict something. What we call a 'theory' in everyday English is called a 'hypothesis' in scientific terms. Evolution is more than a 'theory' - it is established. Intelligent design, on the other hand, is still just a hypothesis - it has yet to become a theory, and seeing as it is unfalsifiable, can't be experimented upon, and can't be used to predict something, it never will.
And, FYI, youtube videos and half-insane rants on the internet are not 'evidence', at least not of a scientific variety.
At least try to understand the nomenclature before you try to use it to make a point. You failed miserably.
You fail to understand my (the) scientific method? It's easily summed up (in its most basic form) in 5 words: 'put up or shut up'. Hollywood11 made a claim, but failed to provide actual evidence. No genetic studies, no verified fossil records, no nothing. That is not evidence, that is conjecture. No-one learns from conjecture.
In common usage, the word theory is often used to signify a conjecture, an opinion, a speculation, or a hypothesis. In this usage, a theory is not necessarily based on facts; in other words, it is not required to be consistent with true descriptions of reality. True descriptions of reality are more reflectively understood as statements which would be true independently of what people think about them.

Actually, I'm a huge Giants fan and have been following them for years.
They even won the Superbowl last year!!

And yet left absolutely no trace of their presence. Fascinating.
You might want to read that whole 'evidence' thing we touched on earlier.
