OK my pets,

I was looking at some pic's of Dinos today and something seemed odd.
Compared to their body size Dino's have rather small nostrils. Hardly
large enough to transport the oxygen necessary for an 80 foot long
body weighing many tons.

Um...  how big are the blowholes of a blue whale?  How about the
nostrils of an elephant?  Did you take into account at least some
dinosaurs had avian continuous-flow respiration?  I'd ask to see the
math behind this assertion of yours, but I know better.

Neither an elephant or whale are the size of a Dino. It takes much
less effort to move about in water then it does on land. Less effort =
less oxygen needed. The whale is also not 80 feel long and 30 or 40
feet tall with a need to run.

Avian continuous-flow respiration is found on birds today. Hardly a
trait of an 80 foot long dino. Is there any evidence of adaptations in
its skeleton that would allow continuous-flow respiration? None that I
know of. That means, for now anyway, Dino's are assumed to have a
respiratory system like that of similar creatures.

Plus we have other rather large fossil evidence that eludes all of
life may have been bigger at one time. Giant cockroaches,, giant
plants. Then, Inside of amber tiny air bubbles have been discovered
that have 30% more oxygen then the air of today.

A thin ice or vapor canopy around 15 miles above the earth would be
all that is needed to create conditions on earth of a green house.
More plants, more oxygen.

During Noah's day the canopy melted or dropped producing rain and the
earth split at the fault lines around the globe releasing subterranean
water flooding the earth. The result is larger oceans that we see
today and no more green house effect.
