And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: [it was] round all about, and his height [was] five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about. - 1 Kings 7:23So the circumference was 30 cubits and the diameter was 10 cubits. Since c= pi x d, if the Bible is to be understood literally, it's telling us that the value of pi is 3. Not 22/7, not 3.14159..., but 3. Just 3.
So when is the Bible going to get equal billing ("it's only fair") in geometry classes?
