  1. It wouldn't in that case, but we know how long the days are and we've accounted for the slowing rotation of the earth through tidal deceleration. The moon and earth pull on each other slightly more when their densest regions align and this over time decelerates the angular velocity of the earth. The moon's rotation has already ceased and it is now tidally locked with earth. Eventually they will both be tidally locked with each other if the moon doesn't escape earth orbit first.http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/earth-rotation-summer-solstice/There is a chance this is wrong, of course, but that's science.
  2. You cant just say plate tectonic theory doesnt make sense and start talking about how the earth is violating the law of conservation of energy/mass by changing its density.We understand plate tectonics pretty well. In fact we even know of several continents predating Pangea.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_supercontinentsThe exact subsurface mechanisms are hard to iron out, but that's what science is for. Not to just toss it all out and make asinine assertions like "The earth is growing but we cant test it!".Liquid water is most likely sourced from bombardment of icy objects during the early formation days of the solar system. So if the earth was that much smaller, then likely hte entire earth was covered in water with no landmasses or it was all vapor in the atmosphere.
