Why do you keep posting (crickets)? Is this your first week on the ‘net?
Surely you are aware of the geometric derivation of pi—I won’t repeat it for you. The steps of the derivation are reproduced in the bible, and the result given is 3.
Since we know that a value of 3 for pi is incorrect, the bible has to be augmented with interpretation to correct the textual inaccuracy. There is nothing at all wrong with that. In fact, most Christians accept the allegorical nature of scripture.
But it is clear, definitive evidence that the bible is not literally inerrant.
You’re OK with that, aren’t you?
If you don't know what the (crickets) is for, they you are a n00b friend.

Again, tell me how to derive a decimal number using measurement system consisting of cubits and hands? (crickets)

Since you so far cannot tell me how they got decimal places in a system that did not have them at the time (crickets), then there is nothing 'allegorical' with the passage at all. Please tell me how this passage can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one? (Crickets) Well, take your time and look up some more skeptic sites.
But it is clear, definitive evidence that the bible is not literally inerrant.
Only if you can prove to me that the measurement system used had decimal places (crickets).

It appears, Buck, that you are the only one here who is comfortable with saying the Bible contains error.
The rest of us aren't comfortable with calling God a liar.
But go ahead, spit in His face. Tell Him he's wrong.
That'll be more amusing than what you're telling us.
