Wonder what “new” things they will decide about in the next fifty years.

Someone once told me reptiles never stop growing until they die. Back when man was living for 800 years, your average lizard would grow to dinosaur size.

There is no conceivable reason they would worship as gods two planets which most people cannot even find in the night sky

They didn't worship the planets as gods. The Romans worshipped their chief deity, Jupiter. The planet was named Jupiter by the Romans after their chief diety since it was the largest planet they could see. The Sun, the moon and Venus (named so by the Romans) were already named.

“Back when man was living for 800 years, your average lizard would grow to dinosaur size.”

When did 800 year old men coexist with dinosaurs?

Brain cleanse is right. Never mind the well documented differences in O2 / CO2 levels way back when.

Good point. I had merely included that part of the article because that was the part to which I was responding.

Antediluvian gravity was affected (practically) by the existence of a large body of water above the atmosphere, possibly like the rings of Saturn.

This is exactly what the Bible describes in the Genesis creation story, the story of Noah’s flood, and in Peter’s explanation of the change that occurred at the flood.

Genesis 1:7
Thus God made the firmament [i.e. sky], and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so.

Genesis 7:11
In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

2 Peter 3:5-6
For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water.

That's only part of the story. Read this when you have time to get an idea of what Noah faced and what caused the Great Flood (hint: rain alone didn't do it ). This book can get a bit technical at times but it's worth the read.

Hasn’t the author, Ted Holden been banned from FR multiple times?

News to me. First I've heard about him being banned.

Dinosaurs didn’t die out. Not the theropods anyway( the two-legged ones). their ancestors are all over the place. Next time you see a crow or a robin. His great grand daddy x’s 10 was a T Rex.

As a child in school (1950s) we were taught brontosaurs lived in water because they could not walk on land due to their weight, and Tyranosaurs walked upright dragging their tails on the ground. It was settled science!

Yes, I remember that.

They also predicted a new Ice Age would take place by now. Then fifty years went by and it suddenly became global warming.

I remember those same lessons in school too. I had the Golden Book Encyclopedia)I believe that’s what it was called) that showed dinosaurs as great, lumbering beasts complete with a Brontosaurus floating in a swamp and a T Rex lumbering around like a guy in a cheap Godzilla type get up.

An interesting premise but...why are modern horses so much bigger than their forebears like Eohippus...which was two feet tall?

Small horses are still around (not Eohippus though.) How about 17 inches :-)

world's smallest horse

Yes, thanks, too many times. Ted Holden has had four or five different nicks on FR, and been given the heave-ho by the mods. Most recent one that comes to mind was wendy1946.
