A Giant In Our Midst

All I kept thinking throughout chapters I and II of Gulliver's Travels was this: how would we react in the face of such a giant. The men of Lilliput are about 6 inches tall. If an average person in today's world is about 5'8, that means that the ratio is 68-6, a little more than 11-1. If you flip that over, that means that for us to see a giant like the men of Lilliput are seeing, that man would have to be 748 inches tall, 62 feet. The Goliath from the Bible is only 9 feet tall. 62 feet is like a 6 story building.
What would we do with a 62 feet tall man? Controlling him would be easy because our weapons now a days are advanced. Instead of having hundreds of men ready with bows and arrows, we would just have fighter jet planes or helicopters. Feeding him would be an issue. The council of Lilliput even thinks that feeding their man would cause a famine. This is something that would happen to us as well.
I think the more important question is not how we would feed a 62 foot tall person but how we would see him. What would happen to our religion and our beliefs if we saw a person like this. Undoubtedly, people all over would think it was Jesus' second coming. Others would think apocalypse. We know so much about the world that any mysticism has really gone out the window.
Sure, we can write a story with a 62 foot tall man. However, deep down, we all know that this is impossible. Our extensive knowledge has made the world a small place, a place where something like this wouldn't be able to happen.
