They got it wrong. That little bubble don't even look like it'd fill the Atlantic Ocean much less the rest of 'em.  Volume vs Surface area might have something to do with it. Them being fulla shit might have something to do with it too. Maybe that's how big of a ball of bullshit they could make if they rolled all thier bullshit into one ball.

Does my math suck? 333,038,142.4314 Cubic Miles? ETA- According to wiki answers, the Earth's surface is 196,939,900 square miles. So that 860 mile diameter ball of water could cover the entire Earth's surface with 1.6911 miles of water. I think... I believe in the biblical account of a global flood, so I'm with you. Plus, the atmosphere holds water. And truth be told, no one can say that there aren't vast underground deposits of water not accounted for here. |

Do you want to drink out of the Ganges River in India? |

V= 4/3 Pi r cubed. r = 430. 430x430x430 = 79,507,000 79,507,000 x Pi = 249,778,607 249,778,607 x 4 = 999,114,428 999,114,428 / 3 = 333,038,142 cu miles |
