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

Yes, and the wall of that additional hollow sphere would be 4.5 billion cubic Kms.

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.

Because we understand that the stories in the Bible are just fairytales while you are trying to find something that is not there.

There are no fairies mentioned in the Bible, ergo you are a moron who does not know anything.

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.

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.
