Bible is the infallible word of God! Proof!

You judging me.

Hey, you finally understood something I posted.

Here's a cookie. Now go play in the traffic.

Oh, camon man you don't send Godschild into the traffic. Babies are better BBQed than roadkill.

This is very interesting: can you explain what an imperfect number is, mathematically speaking?

Why would God use it? I mean, it is the ratio of diameter and circumference of a circle, isn't it... even for God.

It has no ending, so no complete answer can be drawn from it. As many atheist have said here, a circle is not perfectly round and a number used in calculations for an imperfect object must in itself be imperfect. I understand pi is the best thing man has for circles and arcs and ect., I use it in my woodworking, it does get things close but not perfect.

So let's compare: Humans have computed pi to five trillion decimals places; the Bible: not one.

Some god. Some mathematician.

Jesus GC, you of all people should appreciate the fact that pi is the exact ratio for an idealized perfect circle which can be mathematically defined precisely, but never realized in nature. That's as transcendent as human thought gets.

Hey, that's what Pa Thump always told me when I was a boy, it sounds good 'nuff.

Pi is an imperfect number, why would God use it.

Wrong. It describes the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter perfectly.

Yet, your allegedly all-knowing god has written into his divinely-inspired book that this circle was built giving pi a value of three. Ignorance of fine measurements and decimal math is exactly what we'd expect from a bunch of ignorant goatherders -- not an omniscient god.

When you consider all the scientific illiteracy in the Bible, it follows that the Bible is the "Word" of the goatherder and not the deity.

The Bible isn't meant as a book of science, it in no way teaches science, it is however a book explaining what go has done by His choices.
God did not say that pi=3, nor did the man who penned the verse. Have you ever seen the molten sea? Do you know what a cubit is and the possibilities of error it presents in a common number. Many mathematical experts say it was common practice in ancient times to round up or down numbers. We actually do that most often today unless we need to give a very specific answer and thus pi= 3.1416 rounded down is 3. Lets see what 30 divided by pi is 9.549, rounded up is what, 10.

Exactly. Now, if you go on to contemplate what other things were common practice in ancient times, you're getting somewhere. Tip: one of them starts with "Making s" and ends on "hit up".

Good Good than its fucking useless to today's society and the modern age we are living in. We are smarter more moral and we don't need it. It doesn't offer us anything anymore science provides more to understanding something the bible cannot. Have a good day.

[Cyberman]

It's all very reminiscent of the (probably fictitious) local authority that once ruled Pi to be exactly 4; meaning that clocks would lose something like a minute every hour.

[Creed of Heresy]

God is complex there for god needs a creator there for god didn't always exist. God needs a creator he is not alpha and omega also god is a lair.
He can get away with it like lying to adam and eve. So god wasn't always there and always existed and the bible has loose ends to say there was other gods even god said don't worship other gods. So he is admitting to say that other gods besides him exist and he isn't the only god. So god is a lair, murderer, psychopath, that wants you to love him and i wonder why a lot of killers and murderers and rapist and any criminal in jail find god so easily

THIS!!
