So you are basically asking if bone specimens of giants have been found?

comment How can we have better Kavanah in Tefilla? Specifically Tachnuneem?
I would suggest focusing on the meaning of the words, as opposed to inflicting physical pain.

comment Would a replacement kohen gadol be anointed on yom kippur?
@not-vram As DoubleAA and Alex mentioned, it's a moot point because assumption #2 in the question is wrong. But regardless, the simple interpretation of Rabbeinu Tam is that the non-food/drink inuyim are entirely rabbinic (though the Ran interprets Rabbeinu Tam differently). In any case, the Semag and the Mabit (who hold anointing is d'oraysa) say that anointing part of the body is rabbinic.

comment Would a replacement kohen gadol be anointed on yom kippur?
Assuming you can't anoint him in advance, wouldn't the requirement to anoint override the d'rabbanan of anointing part of the body on Yom Kippur? (Incidentally, some hold that anointing even the entire body is a rabbinic prohibition).

comment Answering “amen” to “Ahavas olam” in the evening but not in the morning
... If this is really the source of the practice, it seems to be based on an incorrect interpretation of the opinions of the Shulchan Aruch and Rama.

comment Answering “amen” to “Ahavas olam” in the evening but not in the morning
It might be based on their reading of the Shulchan Aruch and Rama (OC 59:4), where the Shulchan Aruch says to "recite birkas yotzeir and arvis together with the sh'liach tzibbur," upon which the Rama adds that one should "hurry to finish before the sh'liach tzibbur and answer amein after him." Then the Shulchan Aruch proceeds to write: "And one should not answer amein after the conclusion of habocheir b'amo Yisra'el b'ahava, for that would be a hefsek," upon which the gloss adds "and see later on in Siman 61." (In 61:3, the Rama says one should also answer in the morning).

comment canned whipped cream on shabbas?
(You're right, it's not a dupe). The answer is suggested by your second sentence - different rabbis have different opinions on whether this is a problem of molid (e.g. lenient p'sak and stringent p'sak). See also this audio shiur.
