Because the human race is generally delusional and they will take comfort in fake stories over reality.

As said before, the Bible seems to say that pi=3 while it certainly does not. However, the Bible only goes so far to say in 1 Kings 7:23:
And he made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and the height thereof was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.

Each of our cubits are not identical. Further, measuring a bowl of that size using armlengths is not likely to be precise, especially with circular measurements. Finally, it is not clear that the Biblical text required an exact measurement; a measurement that is rounded to the nearest cubit might have been fine for the purpose. We provide rounded measurements in everyday life all the time: if I ask how old you are, you probably reply with a number rounded to the nearest year, or at best to the nearest half year. And that's fine - I don't need your answer to the second.

This is an argument that was trying to take down a building with a grain of sand.

Really? I would think an all-knowing god would have been able to be a bit more precise.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
