People Think the Bible Says Pi = 3

Some people on another forum made a fatal mistake. They decided to get into an argument with me about pi. You can see the results here.

Basically, they claim that the Bible says pi = 3. The Bible makes no such claim.

If we take the Bible with way too strong scientific expectations, we find it says 2.8095 < pi < 3.2105. The actual value is within this range. If we take it reasonably, there is even less of a problem.

It helps to be a math freak and know 100 digits of pi off hand.

For the first you just have to be crazy, and the second...well it really helps to be bored in calculus... :D
