er.. and what explanations do they offer for how the earth gained mass from the time of dinosaurs until now?
You no read this part, queer? … “This theory is rejected by some geologists because it offers no acceptable method by which the earth could have gained more mass.”
if the earth gained mass, that would mean gravitational pull increased. but doesn’t the second half of your post claim just the opposite of the first half?
**It is not my post, I was summarising what I read which included the rejection of the idea of earth gaining mass. **
so which is it - an intense gravitational pull allows for large critters, or a lesser gravitational pull allows for large critters?
**The gravitational pull bit was a summary of this article:
**
**The basic requirement for an attenuated perception of gravity involves the Earth being in a very close orbit around a smaller and much cooler stellar body (or binary body) than our present Sun. One pole would always be pointed directly at this nearby small star or binary system. The intense gravitational attraction would pull the Earth into an egg shape rather than its present spherical shape, so that the planet’s center of gravity would be off center towards the small star. This would generate the torque necessary to counteract the natural gyroscopic force and keep the Earth’s pole pointed in the same direction as it revolved around the star.
The consequences of this intense gravitational pull would be dramatic. It would allow, first of all, for gigantic animals like the dinosaurs (just as any change in gravity to the present situation would likely cause their demise). It would also tend to draw all of the Earth’s land mass into a single supercontinent (Pangea). Why else, after all, should the Earth’s continental masses have amassed in one place? And finally, with the Earth’s pole pointed straight at this star or binary system, there would be no seasons. All literature of the distant past points out that the seasons did not appear until after the flood.

Baki tussi ziada samajhdaar ho. This is all the physics I’m indulging in. Feel free to agree or disagree with some or all of it, they aren’t my own made up theories. Like I said, the conclusion as I understand is that there is a gap in knowledge, there are differences in opinion amongst geologists themselves.
