Re: A Simple Question
No, 18Delta already produced the evidence when he explained that a significant loss of gravity would have drastically altered the atmosphere of the planet. When you continued in your bizarre musings after he pointed this out, I assumed evidence had nothing to do with it, so I thought I'd see how far down the rabbit hole I could get you to chase me.
As far as my "myths, and stories, and claims" go, I haven't asked you and the mouse in your pocket to take anything as gospel. Reality much?

Re: A Simple Question
And I pointed out, that that would only apply under today's laws.
Yes indeed, you did point that out, showing that you're not only willing to dismiss gravity for no reason, but all of physics. That's what prompted me to ask why not throw everything out the window and assume you were created five minutes ago. That makes as much sense (none) as the rest of your through-the-looking-glass world view.
Your rejection of physics is also what lead me to the conclusion that you're not looking for evidence that disproves your "theory," but that you're just whistling in the dark for no discernible reason. You've demonstrated that you're so inextricably wed to the queer notion of less gravity in the past that you'll ignore any evidence that anyone presents showing how devoid of value the idea is. So, rather than contribute to your delusion by presenting more evidence for you to ignore, I decided instead to try to learn the depth of your delusion. I grant you that there's really little point in my endeavor, but at least it amuses me.
