There was supposed to be more oxygen and it was warmer. Larger aminals.

Atmospheric density was also different. Many of the flying creatures that do not still live today could not have flown in such a thin atmosphere.

But i read that the limitation on the size of dinosaurs was thier ability to expell heat. Area goes up exponentially with surface area, and area generates heat while surface area expels it.

Sorry. Bullshit. There was no more oxygen and this doesn't explain how dinosaurs could break the laws of physics.

There was more oxygen and no dinosaur breaks any law of physics.

Are you a believer in the Lord?

I believe racism exists, but I don't believe in all the leftist lies based on that foundation.

I believe God exists. I don't believe anyone knows what that even means.

I assumed you were clutching at straws to explain the existence of dinosaurs. Christian don't like dinosaurs.

How do you explain why they were so big compared to modern reptiles and birds? If modern reptiles are indeterminate growers then they would get that big if only they lived long enough.

I don't see any scientific reason why animals can't live indefinitely. They just don't and we don't understand why. And I am not speaking from ignorance. When you look at the theories of aging they don't paint a full picture.

The blue whale is the biggest animal ever as far as the fossil record goes so that's a big turd on your hypothesis right there. The meteor gave small intelligent animals a huge edge to take over niches that had been dominated by whoever was the biggest.

What if the earth was smaller and there was less ocean? There would have been less gravity and it would explain why continental drift put most of the continents on one side.

I firmly believe the variety if dinosaur species is wrong. I think the different ways the dinos looked was due to what point in their lives they were.

I can't remember who said this already, but I watched a lecture on this a few years ago. Talking about for instance the different triceratops breeds, and how they could mostly be juveniles, but every scientist was too fond of "finding a new dino" they forgot to ask simple questions. The guy said that if we could examine the fossilized bone marrow structure it may indicate the age, but they don't exactly let you just start cutting into fossils do they?
