Re: oh...it's a science forum?
If so, then how is the extreme giantism represented in extinct reptiles (and longevity required to reach such sizes?), plants, and insects explained?

You do know that the biggest critter that ever lived lives today? Also some of the biggest plants.

Re: big stuff
the atmosphere has changed over time, considerably. For example, samples drawn from millions of years old amber show well known differences.

But there was no sign of gigantism in the past, particularly related to today. While there were big ass dinosaurs, there were also small ones right beside them. Many critters today are among the largest ever. Some of the rain forest trees and vines, like the Strangler Fig, would definitely be classed as giants.

Re: ancient air
Yes. But there were times when there was little or no oxygen.
