The Talmud says that Adam was of a size to go from one of the Earth to the other; from one end of the Heavens to another.
The Talmud is not describing the physical size of Adam. It does not mean to suggest that he was a giant of some sort. Rather it is explaining that man, being the central purpose of Creation, incorporates within himself the entirety of existence. Man has the ability to comprehend as well as to define all that exists on both the temporal and spiritual planes.
