The idea I was suggesting, is that if some huge comet did hit the earth,
it would get into the core, and increase the mass, causing volcanism all over
the place,
and the swelling would push the continents, the solid surface layer
fragments, apart.

The resulting increase in gravity due to increased mass, would kill only the
big heavy lifeforms.

***{Hi Jan. I don't know if you have seen the material at the following
links, but it is very relevant to your line of thought.

The first supports the idea of a growing Earth, which would produce the
increase in gravity that you are speculating about:

Nice link, nice animation too.
I find it facinating that he extrapolates to the other planets,


Note that during the time of the dinosaurs, according to this theory,
the Earth was about the size that Mars is today. Result: less gravity,
hence larger animals.

The second link concerns the "small comet theory," according to which
the Earth is, in fact, sweeping up vastly more debris from space than
conventional scientists believe:

Interesting.


The two theories, taken together, are vastly stronger than either taken
by itself. Each, within the context of the other, makes perfect sense:
if either is true, then so too must be the other.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.


Bottom line: Truth Seekers--i.e., those who value truth more than social
expediency--will give very, very serious consideration to both of these
ideas. As for the others, well, let them howl. Turning their volume down
is why killfiles were invented, after all. :-)

Well, the world is full of parrots.
Evolution seems to have it that way.

As they all sing the same song, few brain cycles are needed to decode and ignore it.
The brain cycles are required when looking at data with open eyes.
I use no killfiles, but have stopped reading some the the 'repeats' in opinion :-)
