Was Adam 90 feet (60 cubits)/ca 27 m) tall?
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Allah created Adam, making him 60 cubits tall. When He created him, He said to him, "Go and greet that group of angels, and listen to their reply, for it will be your greeting (salutation) and the greeting (salutations of your offspring." So, Adam said (to the angels), As-Salamu Alaikum (i.e. Peace be upon you). The angels said, "As-salamu Alaika wa Rahmatu-l-lahi" (i.e. Peace and Allah's Mercy be upon you). Thus the angels added to Adam's salutation the expression, 'Wa Rahmatu-l-lahi,' Any person who will enter Paradise will resemble Adam (in appearance and figure). People have been decreasing in stature since Adam's creation. (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 55, Number 543)"

1 Dahaha (دحاها) means expanded, made spherical, balanced, and caused to move:
Dahaha (دحاها) means expanded, made spherical, balanced, and caused to move. For ample proofs for this from the encyclopedic Lisan Al-Arab dictionary and many other similar Arabic dictionaries that have meanings and examples of poems, proverbs, Sayings and many other quotations that demonstrate the definitions of a certain word and how it was used by the Arabs of old, that even predate Islam, please visit:
2. The smaller the planet, the lesser the gravity, and the bigger and taller the creatures will be:
Scientists have proved that the smaller the planet that has so much mass in it, the lesser its gravity, and the taller and bigger its creatures will be. This is why earth, for instance, had gigantic dinosaurs on it. It's size was smaller, and hence, its gravity was lesser, and hence, the size of the creatures that were living on it were much larger.
Notice also in the following pictures, and also in the next sub-section below, how earth was much smaller during the age of the Dinosaurs. Let us compare what its size then to its size now:
Dinosaurs are estimated to have lived during the ages before the age of Cretaceous. As shown in the earth-models in the next sub-section below, the ages before the Cretaceous age were the Early Jurassic and Late Jurassic ages.
These pictures above, and the ones below, are taken from this 1:30 hours film by Dr. James Maxlow, a renowned geologist.
Earth back then was much smaller in size and much lower in gravity than what it is now. That is why it had gigantic dinosaurs on it. The following scientists and scientific proofs further prove this:

"Low Gravity
Planets with gravities lower than .8 have the following effects on people experiencing this gravity (assuming the person is from an EWS world where gravity is 1.0):
Increased Strength (objects of the same mass weigh less, enabling muscles used to higher gravities to accelerate them quickly and more easily)
Reduced Dexterity (the muscles used to move the body for normal tasks are used to greater resistance, and therefore tend to overcompensate for motions)
Thinner Air (lower gravity can hold a smaller amount of air against a planet; NWP's such as Endurance or Running can offset this)
Increased Height (less weight means elastic supportive tissue can expand, resulting in a height increase; astronauts in 0 gravity have reported height increases of 1 inch or more)
High Gravity
A humanoid body is better at handling lesser gravities than greater ones. Planets with gravities higher than 1.2 have the following effects on people experiencing this gravity (assuming the person is from an EWS world where gravity is 1.0):
Decreased Strength (objects of the same mass weigh more, requiring more effort to move them)
Reduced Dexterity (the muscles used to move the body for normal tasks are used to less resistance, and therefore tend to undercompensate for motions)
Decreased Height (more weight means elastic supportive tissue is compressed more, resulting in a height decrease)"
21. Do astronauts get taller in space?
Since there is no (or little) gravity in space the bones of the astronauts are less squashed together. The astronauts, therefore, do gain a bit of height due to this fact." (Source)
Therefore, it should be of no conflict with science to claim that Adam's size, or man's initial size on earth in general, was in the neighborhood of 90 feet tall, or that the first human-race ever walked on earth was around 90 feet tall, give or take 10 to 20 feet between the creatures' differences in heights as we today have people as tall as 7 feet and as short as 2 feet tall. The reason for this is simply because the planet earth was much smaller than what it is now.
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said that Adam, peace be upon him, was around 90 feet tall when he lived on earth. This goes in perfect harmony with the fact that earth used to be much much smaller, which no one knew this fact at the time of the Prophet, and that it kept growing as demonstrated in the following sub-section.
The earth was much smaller and kept expanding:

The following videos are also from the works of Western scientists who have proven and demonstrated that the earth was indeed much smaller than what it is now, and it kept growing and expanding:

We can probably even use the Hadiths to determine when man first existed on earth!
I personally see a very beautiful and miraculous statement by the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad, peace be upon him, because when we bring his statements above and examine them in light of Allah Almighty's Divine Statements, in the main-section below, about planet earth, we're left with a very beautiful and Scientific Statement that is not only in perfect agreement with science about earth used to be smaller than what it is now, and that since earth was smaller, then the creatures had to be much larger, which clearly explains why earth, for instance, had dinosaurs on it in the past, but we can also use the Prophet's Statements about man's initial height to estimate man's initial average size and weight, and to determine how much force was gravity pulling and how big was earth, and approximately how many millions or billions of years ago did the first man walk on earth.
