Why do you believe that?

Tell me, where is the center of the surface of the Earth? No, I
did *not* say the center of the earth thousands of miles below
our feet.  The center of the *surface* of the Earth.  You should
be able to take a globe and put your finger on the spot, or just
tell me the latitude/longitude of whereever it is.  Of course,
you'll have to tell me why the center is the center.

As to expansion, repeat the same thing with a balloon, where
is the center of its surface, and why.  Imagine that balloon
being blown up, getting larger and larger. Does that change the
answer? Why?
