They say the earth consists out of layers, from other times. Where they find e.g. bones of the dinosaur. Is it possible that the earth 'grows', because it gets more of these layers through time?

Not necessarily, there are "layerings" due to many causes.
1) Tectonic movements, when the earth's crust moves, land masses can be toppled sideways, be submerged or what was once submerged raised above the seas.
2) Cosmic dusts due to small meteorites burning up in our atmosphere - much like dust gathering on our furniture
3) Lava flows & dusts spewed by volcanic eruptions

The population does but not physical earth. Earth's core which is very hot is expanding upwards and unfortunately will eventually consume us all. This came from a study shown on National Geographic. Its not a matter of if it will happen...but when!

It grows because slowly more land is being uncovered because the water is slowly decreasing (is that the word)?
