So much to being open minded....
I think this is a rather interesting theory.
I don't see why it couldn't work? But then: How would they explain the fish fossils? And where would life have come from originally if not water?

If the world gets larger, then where does the extra 'stuff' come from?
The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.

From all the stuff being pulled in by its gravity.

Um... Do I need to respond, the flaws in that are so huge and obvious.

Anyone who is convinced by this video should demand to be let back into school and have more science/maths classes. It's so dumb it's untrue.

Currently the Earth is 2/3 covered in water.

To reduce the surface of the Earth so it is 1/3 of the current (so it's all land) would require a 42% reduction of the Earths radius.

This means the volume of the Earth would have to be a third of what it is today. This video suggests that the Earth has trippled in mass (assuming dansity stays within physical reason).

Sound reasonable anyone?

No guys, it's true, I can prove it.

Assuming the Earth is expanding, it would also start to spin slower (just like an ice skater putting his/her arms further away from their body). So all we need to prove is that the days are getting longer, and here's the proof: everyday I go to work and when I come home I feel more tired than I did the day before, therefore the days are getting longer. So, you see, it's true. The more tired we feel, the older (and bigger) the Earth is...

Do you think I should make an internet movie to tell the world about my amazing discovery?
