I feel that it was too harsh. Don made an error, but so did I. The fact is that the Indiana Legislature did try to redefine the formula for determining the area of a circle (a rather stupid leglislative enterprise). I had assumed that was a rumor as well. But Donh interjected the rumor of pi=3 into the fact of the Indiana Legislature's bill and made the claim that the Indiana Legislature tried to redefine the formula for pi to match the alleged error in I Kings 7:23. That is not what happened.
So I think it would be best if the post were pulled. Now that we've dispensed with the silly rumors, perhaps we can get back to an intelligent discussion.
Well, I think what was learned was that sometimes people on both sides of the issue can and do make mistakes, and perhaps this latest exchange showed the 'correct' way in which to work through it, in a civil manner...
All too often, when someone has been shown that they are in error, they refuse to admit it, and holler and scream and then run away...and often go on to repeat the very same error...
In this case now, errors made on both sides were recognized, and handled in a civil mature manner...thats a good lesson for all, I think...
Just my opinion for what its worth, and some on these threads think my opinion is worthless....I just think this exchange was an education in how to resolve things in the true FR spirit...
Well, either Donh or I (or both) has made an 'error' as well.
Can some of you guys (either or both sides) who are not involved look at the 'evidence' and give a verdict?
R U sure you are in the right thread?
