People Think the Bible Says Pi = 3
Posted: Mon Jun 13, 2005 7:47 pm
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.
