Today I learned that the Bible claims π = 3
Quote:
It's saying the diameter of the circle at the surface is 10 cubits, and that the circumference of the circle is 30 cubits. (The 5 cubits is the depth, but that's irrelevant.) So, according to this, the ratio of the circle's circumference to its diameter is 30/10 = 3. However, its been known for a long time that the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter is 3.14159... (it's an irrational number, the decimals continue forever without any pattern). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi#History I found this fascinating, and I hope you did too.

I see this as further proof that the bible was written by man, not inspired by god.
Religious folks have come up with a bunch of explanations to get around this. I'm expecting Veritas to come in with one. So, V - at least concede that this is further proof that the obvious interpretation of the bible isn't always the correct one, and that we should let science/reason guide us towards a correct interpretation.

I would think "round about" means approximate.
Either way who cares, the original text was not penned in English and has been translated numerous times, possibly wrong. God can suck my cock

V, the problem is not with the workmanship, it's with the description which is supposedly divinely inspired and therefore should be 100% accurate. The description is of a circle with a circumference to diameter ratio of 3, which is mathematically impossible.

To suggest that the figures are somehow wrong, is to assume the vessel was perfectly round, which the Bible does not state.
