And South America and Africa were still quite close together.. the Pacific is even bigger than it is now. Literally a whole half side of the planet filled with water

The “Water Hemisphere” is 89% water. The “Land Hemisphere” is 85% land. The location [0] may be a little surprising. The shared view above is deceptive due to the land at the edges. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_and_water_hemispheres#/...

> The “Land Hemisphere” is 85% land. Interesting. Not sure where you got that 85% figure though: >> even in the land hemisphere, the water area still slightly exceeds the land area (with 53 percent water to 47 percent land)

One thing that isn't talked about as much as it should be, there's a possibility that 65 million years ago during the time of the dinosaurs, the earth's atmosphere was very thick. All these Dinosaurs with their extremely long necks and bodies couldn't support their own weight if wandering around the earth today. The mass extinction event may have occurred simply because the atmosphere changed and these giant beasts u…

Can't believe the downvoting. There's several major issues with the current dinosaur theory RN. Four areas of scientific incongruities regarding these animals’ large size are 1) insufficient muscle strength, 2) insufficient bone strength, 3) unacceptably high blood pressure within the tallest dinosaurs, and 4) the paradox of pterosaurs having grossly insufficient power to fly in atmospheric conditions similar to the…

Pressurized gas can act like a liquid. And at sea level, thick atmosphere would certainly be pressurized. smaller lungs aren't relevant to the issue that comes up regarding extremely large dinosaurs. Because it's not an issue of lung capacity, or oxygen supply per liter of blood. We're not talking about animals that are comparable to modern day elephants. Have you seen the size comparisons of dreadnoughtus to blue wh…

Bible scholars generally favor the idea that the expanse mentioned in Genesis - a heavy atmosphere of water vapor that is said to have given the entire earth a tropical climate - could have had a significant effect on atmospheric density, which I personally find an interesting correlation when discussing this topic. Combined with the snap frozen mammoth hypothesis, it's interesting to think that if there were a heavy…
