And why don't you do the same?
You claim that your DSP idea is correct, but when it comes to actually explaining how things were different, you suddenly have nothing but guesses and assumptions. Seems like when it comes to a different state past, you KNOW nothing!
I know what God's record of the past and history say. I do not have to explain how Nimrod was born to you to say Nimrod existed because we have a record of the guy. I don't have to explain how God changed nature to know it happened.
Science DOES have to explain why it claims a same nature in the past.
Of course, you have to keep it vague and undefined. The instant you present something concrete, it can be tested, and you know it will fail any test.
Science cannot test anything to do with the forces and laws that existed in the past and doesn't so much as know what they are today! About all they know is that they seem to exist and work a certain way now!
You seem to have very low standards of evidence. We don't see George Washington today either, so I guess that means that there was another state change. George Washington happens to make better sense in a different natured past. After all we don't see George Washington today!
A few hundred years ago is actually well known and documented. No weird changes in nature exist since then. Try to deal in reality.
Great, find one that knows what gravity was like on earth in the past, and let's have at him! I should note that NONE of your experts even know what gravity is!!!!!!! And I daresay every single one of your own witnesses will admit it!
Because the stresses it was under would be less.
We should look at all factors such as how the animals used oxygen, maybe even atmospheric pressure?
" Hence, at sea level, we carry about 6.6 kilograms of weight on every inch of our body."

Then there is the general composition of the soil that footprints are left in. If the consistency of rock and soil was not the same, we could not look at the way a weigh on similar soil would leave a footprint..etc etc.
So far you have not offered a single dino leg width and showed why it had to exist in a nature exactly like the present time!
Are you REALLY trying to get out of this by claiming that the reason that there is no evidence for a DSP is because the differences were so tiny that they can't be detected and thus anything from a DSP looks just like the equivalent version from the current state?
No. It seems to me differences were huge! People do not live 1000 years now for example. The problem on your end is the inability to be able to measure nature in the past. Everything you look at you religiously view as having come about in our nature!
Then WHY are you claiming that such slight differences were enough to increase the lifespan of Humans by a factor of 10?
Dino leg width really is not much
of a measure of nature in the past! Nor does it tell us about the forces that governed atoms at the time, which in turn govern how molecules and cells behave (DNA also of course). There is no way science as of looking at that, and even how it looks at forces and laws right now is limited!
In case it is news, the forces of nature that existed in the past are not able to be seen by science. Science is too small!
Sometimes, when we see rocks, there are other rocks on top of them.
For instance, rocks that are several meters underground.
You know it's not just a thin layer of rock and then nothing underneath, right? Do you understand basic geology?
I understand a point when I see one. Are you trying to get toward one?? What about rocks?
I was talking about the idea that large dinosaurs had to live in water to support their weight, a claim you made in post 1435. I was saying that not one single reputable scientist has made the claim that large dinosaurs had to use water to support themselves for a very long time.
"
Decades ago paleontologists imagined that the large sauropods were like hippos in that they spent their time standing in the water so as to support their weight. Back then it was fairly common for mass estimates to be around 100 tons or more. But ever since the paleontologists brought the large dinosaurs out of the water, the mass estimates for large dinosaurs have steadily dropped until now some paleontologists are proposing that the mass of a Brachiosaurus was only 23 tons.
This is unacceptable. Since the paleontology community has taken the position that there is no paradox regarding the dinosaurs being so large, there is an obvious conflict of interest for them when it comes to estimating the masses of the largest dinosaurs.
It may be helpful to learn what is involved in making an estimate of a dinosaur’s mass. To determine the mass of a dinosaur we just need to know its volume and its overall density, since multiplying the volume and density together gives us the mass. Let us start with determining the volume.
The paleontologists have already completed the work of determining the volume of the various dinosaurs. Using the dinosaur skeleton displays as references, paleontologists have filled out the form of these animals. Paleontologists usually work off of computer generated images or full size replicas to determine the volume. .."
The Problem with Big Dinosaurs
Apparently they are changing their tune. However, there are some issues that need to be resolved... such as...from the same link
"
- Inadequate bone strength to support the largest dinosaurs
- Inadequate muscle strength to lift and move the largest dinosaurs
- Unacceptable high blood pressure and stress on the heart of the tallest dinosaurs
- Aerodynamics principles showing that the pterosaurs should not have flown"
And you're waffling on about changes in the atmosphere. I have never disagreed with the claim that the Earth's atmosphere was different in the past. However, this does not require the laws of nature to be different. If you are claiming that the laws of nature need to be different to explain a different atmosphere, then it makes as much sense as saying that the laws of nature were different yesterday because yesterday I cooked roast veggies in my oven while today I used the same oven to bake a cake.
Nothing REQUIRES in your mind nature to be different! However the accumulated differences in basic realities of life on earth long ago do add up to things your religion grasps at straws to explain.
You are not qualified to say what makes the most sense. Also, this does not explain why you think that the "jump off a cliff and spread wings" is not a feasible method of taking flight.
Look at gulls today. They sit in the water. It doesn't seem feasible to me that giant birds had to have some extraordinary circumstances to be able to get off the ground or water. Your explanations are contrived and convoluted and strain common sense.
