If I made such a claim, you'd be able to provide a link to the post where I made it. Its not like I can delete my messages off of science-a-go-go, or edit them after a few days.

I.E. if I said it, there would be irrevocable proof of it. Provide it, or shut up.

But once again, we have a red herring here. Your hypothesis has been throughly and totally discredited by these studies:

McElhinney, M. W., Taylor, S. R., and Stevenson, D. J. (1978), "Limits to the expansion of Earth, Moon, Mars, and Mercury and to changes in the gravitational constant", Nature 271: 316–321,

Not too surpizingly, you still haven't had the balls to address the direct disproofs of your hypothesis.
