The Book of Genesis is attributed to Moses and is considered to be inspired of G*d. The whole point of the Creation story is to demonstrate that the Creator is a loving G*d who intended salvation from the very beginning. He created the Heavens and the Earth, created the Earth as a paradise exclusively for Man and gave all of the earth and everything on and in under it to Him to caretake and made Woman of man's own flesh and blood so that the two would be inseperable and have complete fellowship with the Earth, each other and G*d. But the Enemy came between them and caused division, and Adam, rather than defend his wife and partner, turned his back on her instead. G*d then told Adam that the Earth would raise up thorns against him and he would toil all his life because of his choices. Eve accused the Enemy and G*d reminded her that her purpose was to fellowship with Adam rather than serve herself and she would have pain in childbirth (a loneliness) because of her choices, abut that she would still long for her husband. G*D did not ask the Enemy anything, but instead told him that because of what he had done, he would pay, and that from the seed of the woman, G*d would raise up a redeemer to make right what the enemy had divided.
The Genesis Book follows from there how G*d goes about to fulfill that promise and how th enemy seeks to thwart that promise as best he can. If the Gene pool can be polluted or disrupted, then there can be no "Chosen One" who will one day come to redeem mankind and destroy the Enemy. At one point, the enemy had come so close, that G*d had to wipe out nearly the entire world and begin all over again, but he kept one righteous man with which to begin again- spiritually and genetically righteous- Noah and his wife and sons.
This is another aspect. The world had reached a technological peak that marvelled pretty much our own and was suddenly destroyed in a cataclysm the proof of which is world-wide. Overnight, Noah and his children were thrown into the stone age. They went from 8 couples to starting over again and passing along information must have been done by means of cave drawings and all manner of rudimentary forms of communication. Within a few generations, the whole of history would have taken on mythological proportions, just like to us the dark ages do because of a lack of pictures and real intel.
Before the flood there ws not much disease and decay and bacteria and virus. Post flood there would have been because of all the decay and rotting and destruction. That would ahve been the beginning. But still lifespans were in the hundreds of years.
I will find links, but they have dug up skeletal remains of civilizations throughout north and south america of human beings whose heights averaged between 8-13 feet. Many of them had conical skulls. Goliath was in that height range as well.
