Lets leave the gravity argument and just concentrate on the statement
you have agreed you have said.

as asked by Richard:

"So please provide the evidence:
1) That there used to be a higher oxygen content in the atmosphere
2) That higher oxygen content allows animals to become gigantic
3) That there is evidence in the skeletons of extinct animals for
gigantism caused by higher oxygen content."

Just answer those three, without evasion.
