Probably. Many flat earthers also believe that dinosaur thing too.

Why don't you believe they ever existed though?
many reasons

earth is not billions of years old
a giant meteor didnt crash into earth and wipe them all out
dinosaur bones are sus

Regarding the meteor impact, I suppose god had nothing better to do with his time than putting an iridium rich layer in sediments worldwide that dates to roughly 65 million years ago (while also making the rest of that flood geology nonsense match appearances).

Plus there's that embarrassing (for young earth creationists) part where the impact site for that event has been identified with high probability.

Growing big requires a lot of food. After a point, there won't be evolutionary pressure that will favor increased size, because larger sizes would require more energy, which means more food.
The ocean has filter feeders, which allow for large predatory animals to consume food with less energy than active predators.

If the Expanding Earth theory Neal Adams was all over is to be believed (it's curious, but likely bullshit), the earth had about half its diameter, thus roughly four times the gravity. Things got big because they had to.

WTF is this theory?

Gravity is a function of mass. More mass = more gravity.

If earth was half the diameter of today, it would consequently have MUCH LESS mass. So less gravity, not more.

There are bones called bacculum that reside in the penis of animals, but not humans.

Yeah, the meat eaters had to grow the biggest. You can see this in action by looking at the largest animals alive today, like whaleswait, no, elephantsshit, I meant rhinosactually if you look at hipposfuck.

Are you saying whales aren't meat eaters? I'm pretty sure whales are primarily, if not exclusively, carnivorous, including the Blue Whale. Just the animals they are eating are often extremely small. Hippos are omnivorous, as well, even though they eat mostly plants.

it said the meat eaters had to grow large because the plant eaters were too.

The planet eaters we have now are generally bigger than most meat eaters are even today so that doesnt track either.

It would be inefficient for a meat eater to be so large because it would need a disproportionate amount of meat to maintain its energy and strength, making it harder for it to survive.

Oh and giant praying mantises too. The ultimate fighter if it ever reaches 6 ft tall

I don't know if they can make them super big, but they did make them bigger

The warmer climate was great for plant growth since plants didn't die during winter months plus millions of years of vegetation not getting cut down means there was a lot of vegetation for herbivores to eat. The oldest Redwood trees today are over 3,000 years old think about how big a tree can get in a rainforest climate undisturbed for a era.
