In the second coming of Christ it is believed that He will resurrect both the wicked and the righteous. Now imagine how many people we're talking about here. Using an estimated 57 million deaths globally in 2005 with a rough global population estimate of 6 billion we could postulate 1% of the Earth's population dies every year. Now the population hasn't been 6 billion for very long, in fact it was only 1 billion 2 hundred years ago. But you see where I am going with this don't you? Lots and lots of people have died since we've been on this Earth. If you go with a Creationist estimate of 4000ish years you obviously get a smaller number than an evolutionist would, but then I don't think evolutionists put much stock in the second coming of Christ.
So, how are we going to fit them all? Standing room only.

Interesting question. All things considered, there probably have not been over 10 billion people who have ever lived on earth throughout human history. I'm kind of thinking that there are a lot of planets out there in space (heaven), that Jesus and the angels are preparing for human habitation. Then you have all those who will get the mark of the beast, who will be sentenced to the lake of fire, which may be the core of the earth. That's my understanding of it.

Did you know the entire population of earth right now could fit inside Connecticut (like all standing side by side)?

The first resurrection is for the righteous, they will be judged and taken to Heaven.... the second is for the wicked... they will be cast into the lake of fire. Wont need to worry about where everyone will fit in a lake of fire.

Only a few people (such as those described in the attached article) will go to heaven, so there will be plenty of room.

You must be one of those people who tells himself,"I'll beleive it when I see it". The Lord has no limitations,nor does Heaven.
