I believe Dinos existed but this is just strange to me

Top Ten Scientific Flaws In The Theory of Prehistoric Dinosaurs

There would not have been enough food or fresh water for plant-based animals this big to have lived

Yes, elephants exist, and elephants are large. However, an elephant, which is a fraction of the size of a Brontosaurus, has to eat for 18 hours every day in order to survive. However, even in ancient times, there was still only 24 hours within each 24 hour period (basic logic).

Since an elephant can't survive without eating 18 hours per day every day, and a Brontosaurus was supposedly 5 to 10 times larger than an elephant, then a brontosaurus would have to eat for around 90 to 180 hours per day. Yes, you read that right, and it's not a typo. It is logically impossible to eat for 90 hours per 24 hour day.

Even if it scarfed down food much quicker, it still comes nowhere close to having enough time to sustain itself. If it did absolutely nothing but eat and sleep, it still wouldn't even come close. Even if it never slept but only ate, still it would not even come close. That means that it could never even reach full size. That would be impossible. It makes no sense for a creature which could never get larger than a baby to even exist in the first place.

However, this isn't even the real problem with the existence of giant plant-eating creatures. The real problem is that there wouldn't even be enough food for them to eat (not to mention enough fresh water to drink).

Take the example of the Australian rabbit. This tiny animal in relatively large numbers has wreaked havoc on the local environment. Take the following excerpt:



Consider the effect of just these tiny creatures. Now consider the daily consumption of one single plant-eating dinosaur. At 13 tons, a Mamenchisaurus, similar to a Brontosaurus, would have to have eaten 1,150 pounds of vegetation per day. This is probably equivalent to about 10,000 rabbits, maybe more (that number is just an educated guess).

If a few thousand rabbits can destroy entire ecosystems, then consider what billions of rabbits would do. There would be nothing left, for anyone. All plants would go extinct. That's what would happen if these massive dinosaurs roamed the Earth. There would not be any plants left to eat. Most plant species would go extinct.
I remember reading somewhere that the atmosphere back then was very different and that's plants and animals grew to be a lot bigger.

They say before dinosaurs roamed the earth, mushrooms grew to be the size of trees.

The earth has been through many changes

So basically, rabbits killed tha dinosaurs

the Earth is billions of years old, Do people understand the scope of that. countless civilizations and eco systems have risen and fallen in that incomprehensible span of time. For people who doubt the existence of dinosaurs and want to apply scientific logic as we understand it in OUR time to what may have been back then, consider the idea that Earth was something so alien in comparison to what we see it as today. An entirely different set of naturally occurring elements and minerals arranged in various combinations and quantities that alter the entire molecular make up of creatures and plant life. What was necessary for life back then would be something totally different from now. Dust mites were probably the size of buses at some point on this planet. Jelly fishes were prolly apex predators on land and Fungi were most likely the predominant life form on this planet as well. And probably could spread its mass over whole continents and so forth..


Even right now in this time, there are creatures whose mere existence spits in the face of the laws of nature (as we understand it). Things like the Tardigrade (water bears). That are indestructible life forms that survive in the vacuum of space reverse aging like its nothing, put itself in suspended animation for centuries, and survive all known forms of physical destruction. And these are just microscopic organisms capable of these feats. Hell some forms of jelly fish or or octopi can even do versions of what I described. I also read somewhere that they discovered some small creatures in a cave that had never been exposed to the outside atmosphere of our planet and had developed their own unique ecosystems and their biological make up had evolved in ways that defy science.

So with that said. Dont be too quick to doubt, because the changes this planet and its inhabitants have and will go through are so far numerous beyond the scope of our imagination as to be incomprehensible. There are billions of possible scenarios for life on this planet, we just happen to be the current form so naturally we see things through a human-centric lens.

Basically.

Everything evolves according to its environment. So these giants obviously had enough vegetation to evolve to that size.
There was also 50% more oxygen in the atmosphere. And thats partly why everything got so big.
Everything is science is a THEORY
It shouldn't be taken as gospel
