Except that the Cardiff Giant was a hoax perpetuated on gullible creationists by a flim-flam artist who used the Biblical line, "[t]here were giants in those days" to pass off his statue as the real thing.

Creationists lack any theoretical framework with which to determine the veracity of a find. Face it, "God just did it that way" can cover just about any contingency. The Piltdown fraud, that Chinese dino-bird, and yes, the Cardiff Giant, fell not to creationist examination, but to scientific examination because scientists have tools (theories) which point them in the right direction.
