...Due to the principles of gravity, mass, and the limitations of muscular anatomy in any life form, it would not be possible for any animal weighing more than 20,803 pounds to be able to lift its own weight (Holden, 1994). However, the Brontosaurus is supposed to weigh over 70,000 pounds, and other so-called sauropods are supposed to be many times larger than that.

Then there is the issue of neck size - a long necked animal of that size would not even be able to lift its neck. Additionally, their blood pressure would be way too high to be able to live. Their heart would literally explode. For reference, a giraffe has a long neck, and even at its relatively tiny size in comparison to sauropods, a giraffe is at essentially the peak of blood pressure that is possible to live, having a higher blood pressure than any other animal...

“How could our planet’s gravity have been weaker? We do not know. We can only assume that it must have been, and that someday we’ll find the answer. “

Please cite your hypothesis on why gravity could have been weaker in the past ...

How did ‘day and night’ pass without a sun?

Bones decompose. Fossils aren't really bones - Water seeps into the remains, and minerals dissolved in the water seep into the spaces within the remains, where they form crystals. These crystallized minerals cause the remains to harden along with the encasing sedimentary rock.

[Agamemnon]

How did ‘day and night’ pass without a sun?

"In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth." Assume that creating the "Heaven" includes creating the "Heavenly host" = angels in that act. One of the angels created, named Lucifer, was described as the "son of the morning"

"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!" (Isaiah 14:12).

The name "Lucifer" means, "Light bearer."

On the first Day as He creates the Heaven and Earth the other thing created that day was light, "Let there be Light." (Genesis 1:3)

The following passage describes Lucifer:

"..... You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: carnelian, chrysolite and emerald, topaz, onyx and jasper, lapis lazuli, turquoise and beryl.Your settings and mountings were made of gold; on the day you were created they were prepared. You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you. You were on the holy mount of God; you walked among the fiery stones. You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you. Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones. Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. So I threw you to the earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings. " (Ezekiel 28: 12-17)

Jesus Christ says: "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven." (Luke 10:18)

So to answer your question given that background, I believe Lucifer's job as the "Light bearer" was exactly that: the light bearer on Days 1, 2 and 3 of the Creation. On Day 4 God created the sun, moon and stars to mark the passage of time, supplanting Lucifer's role as the light bearer.

Lucifer became prideful in this pivotal role, and I suspect he was resentful that God did not keep him in that role.

As a created member of the heavenly host Lucifer's place was to serve the "Light of the World," the Creator, Jesus Christ in whatever capacity he was delegated to serve.

"Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.’ (John 8:12)

Lucifer wanted to supplant Christ's position as the "Light of the World" and he was thrown out of heavenly government for that mutiny.

Please cite your hypothesis on why gravity could have been weaker in the past ...

My hypothesis is the subject of this article.

It rests upon the question: How could animals as large as the biggest dinosaurs have ever existed on a planet possessing the strength of gravity as Earth?

Based upon the last twenty years or so of musculo-skeleto analysis, it's been determined that they could not have arisen or flourished in an environment with this planet's gravity.

But they did exist on this planet, which begs the question: How?

Personally, I think the answer is to be found within the electrical nature of planets and stars, but this is a huge area of scientific enquiry, that requires a lot of study and laboratory experimentation to decode.

Where?

Even Satan quotes scripture.

I will remind you that Jesus Christ quotes from Scripture, but sadly it seems all you can seem to recall is the mis-quotation of Scripture by Satan. I invited you to make your case using Scripture. To this point you have failed to do so. If you are unable to make you biblical argument based on Scripture, well, we'll just have to let that fact speak for itself.

The denial of the authority of God is the central plank of the Progressive movement.

The authority of God is found recorded throughout the Scripture. I would suggest that you become more familiar with the Scriptures yourself as the foundation for your positions as opposed to all the stream of consciousness babbling as uttered from your clearly inflated ego. "Pride goes before destruction and an haughty spirit before a fall." (Proverbs 16:18)

For all the outward lip-service you pretend to pay to the authority of God, it is the authority of God with which you appear wrestle the most.

Capillary action (wicking) within confined dimensions is not driven by air pressure.

Is there a gravity-negating model for that?

I would have pondered on a cell driven by osmosis at one end with evaporation and/or chemical reaction (photosynthesis) at the other.

But what I would like to see is a physical/mathematical demonstrable model that draws/pumps water 100 feet or more vertically against gravity.

How do chemical substances travel down from the leaf interface to the roots--as in peanuts and potatoes and beets and jicama--while water and other surface-tension-modifying compounds travel up?

Overall, is "life" in plants only phenomenological to the human mind, or is there a clear understanding how organics are formed from elements and their compounds? It is not clear to me how water gets from the roots of a sequoia to the topmost leaf/needle to keep it alive.

Hidden in this rather aimless musing is the underlying fact that without the plant life and processes, there would be no animal life either. The Bible says that at the time of the consummation of Creation, all "moving things" = animals were herbivores. Eating each other came later.

I kind of suspected you weren't interested in having a real conversation, but I gave you the benefit of doubt anyway.

Why not just tell me you disagree with the author, and state your own position? Or, is the above reply the best you can manage in an adult debate?

[imardmd1]

Sabertooth tigers found out pointed teeth were better for biting into flesh!

They did? I've never seen one eat, nor what they preferred for food before the Flood.

Here's what the Word says. Read it and be informed. Before the Flood, for a period of more than a thousand years, this prevailed:

Genesis 1:28-30 (AV):

²⁸ And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
²⁹ And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat*.
³⁰ And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat*: and it was so.
-------
(Note: * = meat here in Elizabethean English, "meat" simply meant "food." In this passage it does not refer to flesh meat.)

But after the Flood, right when Noah and the world of living creatures dismounted from tha Ark (including one wold expect, young dinosaurs), God changed the diet of humans, and probably some animals as well:

Genesis 9:1-3 (AV):

¹ And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
² And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
³ Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat* for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

Actually, the dental professor and Creationist lecturer Dr. Jobe Martin has noted that the roots of the tyrannosaurus rex dinosaur are not rooted deeply enough nor strong enough to tear flesh. But they are sharp enough to strip leaves cleanly for the TR to eat, or maybe into decayed flesh like the hyenas. I doubt that the dinosaurs were able to survive the change in climate, even before the Ice Age.

So I think the Bible tells me that tigers began to eat flesh meat after the Flood, first maybe animals that died and were easier for aged tigers or beetles to eat, then maybe hunting live animals in the time when the weather turned wintry after the flood (which apparently it was not before the fountains of the deep were opened up by the cracking of plates into the continents).

Your article reads like an atheist wrote it.

What's not believed in isn't God, but dinosaurs, but the style of argumentation is the same.

It's often noted that many atheists are true, fanatical believers in their dogma.

And now we realize that some believers reason like atheists when it comes to things they don't believe in.
