the moon is moving away from the earth. so the gravity of the times of dinosaurs is quite different than it is today. and it will continue to change...

What??
LOL
True, the moon is moving away from the Earth at about the rate of an inch per year, but its effect on local Earth gravity is negligible. Since we are living on the surface of the Earth it is the Earth's core which has the greatest gravitational effects on us. Remember gravity is the weakest of all the forces and the difference between the gravitational effects between the dinosaur times and now is miniscule at best.
Technically you weigh less when the moon is full (not because it is full, but because when you see it in the sky when it's full it's directly overhead) but don't give up diet and exercise just yet.

women usually weigh more during a full moon because of water weight gain.

Questerr
I never said Columbus was the first to believe the earth was spherical. I only said he observed, thought about it and made up his mind. The fact that Columbus was a religious man and read these verses is a well documented fact. Columbus is also credited with directly quoting these verses in several sources. And at Columbus' time, there were few, very few, learned people who suspected the earth was spherical. The mass majority of Europeans believed in a flat earth.
And the Bible made these statements as early as 2000 BC. This was well before the invention of geometry and around 1500 years before the Greeks.
Face the facts, questerr. The Bible was right and was right thousands of years before anyone else, including the Greeks and Arabs.

4. The Bible as reliable science: The Earth and Stars
Jeremiah 33:22 As the hosts of heaven cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea measured
Genesis 22:17 I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore
At the time these verses were written, there were no telescopes. The only stars they could see were the ones that were visible to the unassisted human eye.
Ptolemy counted 1,056 stars, Kepler counted 1,005. We can see, at best, about 4000 stars with the naked eye. Today Scientists estimate that there are more than 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars (10 to the 26th power).
These verses reveal the following scientific facts:
1. The total number of stars is huge, far more than are visible to the unassisted human eye.
2. By inference, the universe must be huge to contain all those stars.
3. One day the population of the earth will also be huge.
4. The total number of stars is so large that no accurate count can be made.
5. It has also been conjectured that “sand of the sea measured” may also be a reference to the total mass of the stars.
Jeremiah wrote circa 680 BC. Genesis was written by Moses circa 1450 BC. How did Moses and Jeremiah know the total number of stars was huge when they couldn’t see more than a few thousand? How did these gents know to compare the total number of stars (most of which they couldn’t see) to the number of grains of sand at the seashore, which they could see and knew to be numerous?
The Bible was right on the money almost 3000 years before science verifed this truth. Even the Greeks, Arabs, Babylonians, Assyrians and Romans didn't even come close to the Biblical record.
