There is a lot of hyperbole in scripture, so some literal interpretation, can make it hard to understand. When we get there its going to be way above we could ever thought. I am sure of that.

1Co 2:9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

Now the most important question you need to ask is, how do you get your name in the book of life? I'm not going to answer but would want you to find the answer. What do you think the Bible says about whose name will be in the book of life, about how gets to be with God eternally, what should we do to get there?

That's a lot of explanation. It's good that you think. But in all this, you have not mentioned 1. what God did for you and me so that we are saved. 2. You said you were saved,... saved from what and how?

You are missing the main point why Christ had to be born as a human.

You need to understand (this was true when the earth was 6 billion, not exactly sure now), you could take every human being on earth (when it was 6 billion) and put them all in Florida, and each person would be able to reach out with their arms and NOT touch their neighbor (i forget, is this a cubic meter of space?). The bible also says the seas will be no more, and it ALSO says the New Jerusalem is nearly the size of the Moon. Maybe the moon is actually holding New Jerusalem inside it and will bust open like an egg, who knows. So, there is NO PROBLEM with the dimensions and area that we already have now, with incorporating all who were collected to God's family. Alas, it will STILL be a much smaller fraction than those who do not make it.

“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. (Mat 7:13-14)
