The problem is that if the world doesn't end then you are mightily screwed as as a large number of repo men show up and take all your stuff, possibly including your kneecaps if you made some particularly bad choices.

Long ago I read a theory that the earth was actually much smaller. Didn't have any oceans, and was just one land mass. Dinosaurs lived here too.
Notably a smaller gravitational pull allowed for large creatures to develop.
But an event occured which wiped out the dinosaurs and caused the earth to grow and gain mass.
This meant a big heavy thing landed and made a biggish hole that contributed to an increase in size and mass of the planet.
Now what are the arguments for this one.
I think the idea was floated by the creator of marvil comics, but I'm not a comic geek so one of the many that post 7000 plus and generally don't say anything would know more detail. But again not actually say anything....

I think that falls into the "Not even wrong" category of geology. It sounds like some strange mutation of the "expanding earth" set of theories (search here for discussion of them) which to say the least have significant problems.
