    About 2800 people in the world are 7 feet tall or taller, but that's 7 FEET not 7 METERS.

    Robert Pershing Wadlow (USA (1918-1940)) was 2.72 m (8.9 ft) tall.
    I haven't seen any reliable evidence of 7 meter tall humans.
    Goliath stood at "four cubits and a span" which equals about 7.80 feet (2.38 meters)
    Given that we have the phenomenon of myostatin related muscle hypertrophy, a 7.8 foot tall muscular Goliath is not inconceivable.
