"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."
Genesis 6:4
Giant Human Foot Print 200 Million Years Old In South Africa! "The Footprint Of God" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apaKPj_ya9Q#)

Like some of the commenters on the video were saying, it's possible that this just looks like a footprint by coincidence, i.e many years of erosion or whatever producing it.
-
That certainly is possible. But that really does look like a foot print. But then you could argue that someone sculpted it on purpose.

There's some talk among Biblical scholars that references to 'giants' in the Bible don't actually men extremely tall men, but just really skilled or powerful warriors/kings.

An Atlantian leaves behind his footprint.

To accept giants in the Bible means people would have to accept other parts of the Bible many churches refuse to acknowledge as true scripture. The whole story around the giants is heresy in many sects.
It's also possible God, the angels, and even giants were all just aliens who visited Earth long ago. I mean, Cthulhu has big feet, too.

A large number of things in most modern versions of the bible are horribly mistranslated from previous iteration. And that "footprint" only has 4 toes. Also, is that stone it's in shifted vertically? If it's not and the "footprint" is across the strata of the rock then it can't be a footprint unless the foot spent millions of years in the same spot.

Actually I can see five toes. You have to look carefully at the left side. The four main toes are clearly visible however the overall shape of the footprint itself extends beyond to include the fifth toe.

The best way to read the whole bible would be to read the Jesus scrolls as they remain "uncontaminated" by Roman and Medieval church egocentrics and ideologies. The scrolls would also include the missing 44 volumes that were never included in the Bible as well.

I noticed. If that last indentation is the fifth toe then it's set higher on the foot than the rest of the toes which would be all kinds of wierd, anatomically speaking.

I don't think human bone structure can be much larger than it already is. People with giantism have a lot of health problems due to the size of their organs and bones so I don't believe it's possible these giants, if they really existed, would've been so similar as to have footprints like ours.

I have God's footprint. On my butt.

*Chuckle* Booted out of Heaven?

Where is the other one? One possible footprint is fine but it seems that you would have two. Maybe he was stretching out his calf or hammy when a meteor struck. Don't people know the downside of stretching?

This is stupid, the footprint... if anyone really thinks it's God's foot print they're an idiot. This is how crazy stuff happen, people looking too far into things... though ironically, I guess this is also how religions start.
I wouldn't say it's anatomically odd, I mean, the last toe doesn't go down as much as the rest of your foot when you stand or walk. Try it, stand up and feel your foot to the ground, the last toe isn't really as forced down as the rest is.

This is very true. Your own center of gravity is more focused on the middle and inner parts of the feet which leaves the outer part almost free-floating (not literally but close enough). In fact I've tried to stand with more gravity forced on my outer feet and it feels kinda awkward.
