I don't think we have any literal interpreters of the Bible, but in any case this is in jest. Obviously they were pretty darn close to say pi = 3 (which is what the text implies).Quote:
I Kings 7:23-26
He made the Sea of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high.
It took a line of thirty cubits to measure around it. Below the rim, gourds encircled it - ten to a cubit.
In any case, do literal interpreters of the Bible think pi = 3 ?
Hell yes! Sounds delicious.
They probably rounded up. :)
Or had different guys measure it :D
What are you doing here?Quote:

The concept of infinite decimal places is blasphemous, we musn't playing god :mad2:
pi was known before the bible came along.
and then... the metric system foils God's great plan.
Well that explains all the wickedness and evil in the world...
but the bible supercedes all math, science, and anything else you gotQuote:

*pouts*
all's I'm saying is that a literal interpretation of the Bible is defeated by a simple quote about geometry...
/shuffles off
Well duh, look at what the Muslims invented. ;)Quote:

Well apparently Pi is just at theory. The text books should be written to contain Pi as 3.0 and Pi as 3.14... and let students decide on their own instead of forcing the atheistic idea of a 3.14... Pi on them.
I think I actually feel stupider now.Quote:
