Christians: Would Adam and Eve be much larger then the average size 6ft?
due to them living in the beginning of Earth's creation. And not like how polluted it is today.

It's possible.
The environment was different back then. Based on air samples in ancient rocks and such, it appears there was more oxygen and under greater pressure. There may have also been less UV rays. Thus we have in the fossil record giant dragonflies, sloths, beavers, reptiles, etc. Therefore it's conceivable that the first humans were also larger than today's version.

Actually, the story of Adam and Eve is not historically true. We carry within us the history of Human Origins. Our DNA, and the variation we see within it in the world, shows us humans evolved in Africa over 200,000 years ago, and moved out of Africa at least 60,000 years ago. Add to that the hominid fossil record, and again, one comes to the conclusion the Bible is not a science text, not designed to be taken literally, but a series of stories with moral underpinnings.

yes
mankind has been de-evolving since creation due to the 2nd law of thermodynamics
neanderthals are believed to be the first real people
1st one recognized in 1856 in Neander Valley, Germany
they were slow maturing, long lived and had bodies more complex than ours
better teeth, bones, muscles, eyes, wider hips, and larger brains.

Adam and eve would probably be smaller considering the fossil record.

yes. but when the fallen angels came and had sex with women, there were giants, thats why GOD flooded the earth, in part b/c of the nephlim. the human race was being polluted.
