I'd say probably not. Our ability to measure bulges in lake bottoms and such is very recent. It may be that this sort of thing happens fairly often without a cataclysmic result.
It's true the solar system/universe obeys mechanical laws, but does this mean that it therefore follows that it is all just mechanical? Our bodies follow mechanical laws but I suggest that our existence is much more than just a mechanical/chemical/scientificly explained existence.
In fact I would go so far as to say that we don't know squat. Everything we claim to know is theory, and all our theories will be someday replaced by even better theories, by those who think they know.
