The oldest sea floor is about 180 million years old, which is younger than when Pangaea started to first break apart (~300 million years ago). If the earth was expanding, you would expect to see ocean floor much older than its current age.
There is continental crust that is billions of years old, but there are no subduction zones or mid-ocean ridges in that area to produce or destroy that crust, so the amount of crust present is constant. On the ocean, equal amounts of crust that is created at mid ocean ridges is destroyed at subduction zones. The crust recycles itself.

I'm talking about expansion on an atomic scale. Gradually as the earth expanded, everything gets mushed around, hence metamorphic rocks. We do have erosion still so you would expect the entire sea floor to be covered in cretacious, jurassic and tertiary ****. No doubt the crust recycles itself, but doesn't discount the idea that the entire size of earth has increased due to gravity fluctuation.

Metamorphic rocks are created from heat and pressure, that’s it. They are exposed on the surface near faulting areas. So this pretty much does discount the earth is expanding. The only evidence given was mid-ocean ridges. Fair enough. But that was disproven.
Even without evidence given, this expanding earth theory can STILL be disproven. GPS can detect motion on plate boundaries very easily. Some ocean floor moves up to 10cm per year. How come we cannot detect any changes in the earth’s diameter, despite that fact that ocean crust moves so much? The earth's diameter is constant.

here is an honest question op- since water cant be compressed it would have to exist as water vapor in the atmosphere??? With that level of greenhouse gases how could mammals exist much less evolve into what they were?
if dinosaurs had hollow vertebrae, wouldn't more gravity be dangerous? Less structural mass for objects weighing 80 tons?Black with a Small Hat

If your argument was really valid, you wouldn't discuss it and waste your time on a bodybuilding forum, you would go to a scientist, or call a conference and PROVE your theory to EXPERTS.
So, you should find another hobby, preferably a nice one.'A year from now you will wish you had started today.'
