The surface of the earth is 510,000,000,000,000 square meters.
1 litre covers a square metre to a depth of 1 millimeter.
365 billion divided by 510 trillion is 0.0007 litres per square metre.
You'd cover the entire earth in 0.0007 millimeters of water.
Not much of a flood, huh?
Equivalently, 510 trillion divided by 6 billion is 85000 square metres per person, or slightly less than a hectare to spread each person's remains.
