Housing Crisis

In our Bible study about Revelations it mentions the size of New Jerusalem - Rev. 21:16

¹⁶The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia^a]">[a]in length, and as wide and high as it is long. (a stadia is about 1400 miles)

So the "numbers guys" (and I include myself in this elite group) start playing with the data. One internet site estimates that with a 2800 sq ft apartment 12 feet high you could get 1,500,000,000,000,000 apartments in this space (I was too lazy to audit this number). By the way that is 1.5 Quadrillion or 1.5*10^15.

On June 18, 2010 I blogged about the 106 Billion souls (as of 2002) looking for eternal space.

Still plenty of space available :)
