The Bible rounded off, which is what A LOT of people do when dealing with Pi...especially in ancient cultures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt know that. Has he ever answered? And it is very much on topic. Considering what was posted, then who Jesus is to him is quite relevant.

It took a line of thirty cubits to measure around it. Below the rim, gourds encircled it - ten to a cubit. The gourds were cast in two rows in one piece with the Sea. The Sea stood on twelve bulls, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south and three facing east. The Sea rested on top of them, and their hindquarters were toward the center. It was a handbreadth in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held two thousand baths. (NIV) Diameter: 10 cubits Circumference: 30 cubits Pi: 30 cubits / 10 cubits = 3.0 This is one of those cases that proves we can't take everything literally all the time, although I'm sure many of you disagree. So let's talk. OK let's talk then. This is an old atheist "hot potato" used from time to time as "so called" proof that the Bible is wrong. A good answer can be found at the following site. pi in your eye Read that and the links which seem to me toanswer the question admirably.

And there are a LOT of such examples in both the New and Old Testaments. The Bible is a text intended to teach great truths about God, the Holy Spirit and Jesus - and our relationship with them (the trinity.) It is not a text that was meant to teach math or science.
