Hi brother Jeshuran,
It is not necessary to have a smaller Earth, but there was, perhaps, a much denser atmosphere, which has been postulated, for the larger dragonflies of the Carboniferous to fly in.

Hope you don't mind me chiming in again Brother Derek,

I think what you are asking is, are universal forces all tied in together and affecting the earth? For instance, could a change in electromagnetic forces governing the earth have initiated the flood? Well what if you saw with your own eyes, proof that the earth, and the other planets in our "solar system" (tic) were at one time as much as 60 percent smaller, thus obliterating the theory of "Pangea"? This would explain many many things that still have scientists scratching their heads, like giant dragonflies or dinos who obviously could not have survived without far less gravity...

It's something that the entire scientific community needs to deal with, but the hierarchy wants no part of, because it's time for a whole new idea about how this universe got here...

Psalms 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. 2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. 4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun....

on the note of an atmosphere.
Insects that get too big suffocate because the surface area of their lungs (which is all over their body) does not increase in proportion to the size of the insect. This limits the size of the insect by a factor of how much oxygen there is in the atmosphere. There are plenty of fossils of huge insects many factors bigger then the modern ones. There have been experiments done with hyperbaric chambers (or whatever you call those enviroments with lots of atmosphere and/or oxygen) wherein plants grow a lot bigger, bugs grow a lot bigger or basicly everything gets bigger (and healthier -> longer lifespan).

I dont understand why some of you want to interpret the bible so literally even though there are many things in the bible that can not at all be understood in a literal manner. Revelation is a massive testament to this.

The world does not turn around us. Everything is not about us humans. Jehovah has purposes in mind for many of his other creations too. Sure i don't know what they all are but we'r not all important. Animals matter too. The world does not have to be start at 6000BC since thats when the only important creations adam & eve became. This is a form of the belief that everything revolves around the earth which comes from a very over inflated ego. Look up into the sky and contemplate your size little ants.

There is some truth in evolution in creation neither of which is a popular thing to contemplate because it requires the observer to recognize the beam in their own eyes that made them blind to it. Evolution happened in cycles of stagnancy and rapid evolution. There were periods of relative stagnancy and explosion periods where lots of life came into existance "magically" which can not be explained in any other way other then the "super" natural.
Science has begun to recognize that evolution can mathematically not happy at "random" because this simply makes more of a mess then it creates actual new stuff. Nevertheless it clings to evolution without accepting the only thing that is left which is God. The second law of thermodynamics states a closed system leads to chaos. Because civilization has largely closed itself to God it is breaking down. The talents burried in the ground will be given to the wise stewards, this means that the dead that are burying their own will act as fertilizer for a bountyfull harvest.

If you feel that you are running out of love it is because you are on some level missing out on the infinite love of God.
