Take the volume of the Earth at sea level and add the additional volume in a sphere ~60,000 feet larger.

Cool, I broke my math bone in the 5th grade and it never healed properly. I was wondering if I was even close. T/Y
My compound fracture of math bone also never healed properly, so take my math with a few large crystals or rock salt.

indeed, “fairy” has a innocent, non-malicious ring to it, which makes the term unsuitable for describing any of the overreaching, domineering, malevolent bullshit tales collected together into one tome and called holy 🤣 bible.

Oh, I was wondering when he will start with personal insults. Anyway, Myths and stories about fairies do not have a single origin, but are rather a collection of folk beliefs from disparate sources. Various folk theories about the origins of fairies include casting them as either demoted angels or demons in a Christian tradition, as deities in Pagan belief systems, as spirits of the dead, as prehistoric precursors to humans, or as spirits of nature. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
Ha ha ha.. just serving you your own sauce. If you had meant folk tales then you should have said folk tales. Instead you said"fairy" tales even though the fey are never mentioned.

And since the point is fairy tales, not fairies, this bit may be more germane:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_tale Quote:A fairy tale (alternative names include fairytale, fairy story, magic tale, or wonder tale) is a short story that belongs to the folklore genre. Such stories typically feature magic, enchantments, and mythical or fanciful beings. In most cultures, there is no clear line separating myth from folk or fairy tale; In other words, fairies are not a necessary component of fairy tales. I don’t think anyone can sensibly argue that the Bible doesn’t include ‘magic, enchantments, and mythical or fanciful beings.’ Some of the stories in the Bible certainly qualify. Boru
