And the Israelites, not being imbeciles, would have done the same thing.

You just said the Israelites were so stupid that they taught that pi=3. Now you are claiming they are so intelligent that they would have measured the circumference using a string. Well the outside circumference would have been roughly 31 cubits and a span. Correct? That is why you guys insist that the bible is in error.

Assuming the bowl was one hand thick, the inside circumference would have measured about how many cubits? Huh Prof?

Can you answer that question?

Will you answer that question?

I have answered your question, jackass. I will not be bullyragged. But if you want, the inner circumference, when rounded to the units that 1 Kings itself uses, is 29 cubits and 3 hands, not 30 cubits. Even with your ridiculous assumption that the diameter is measured to the outside but the circumference to the inside, the circumference given in 1 Kings is wrong when rounded to the units used by 1 Kings.

That being said, such rounding introduces or assumes an error, and you claim the Bible is inerrant.

This is the problem with cultists; when their irrational belief run headlong into reality, they become hysterical.

Now go bray at the moon. I'm done.

Life is a kick, isn't it? I came over here to see about a math question and I've been called a troll, a hypocrite, vain, paranoid, a conspiracy theorist and more, and it's still early on a Saturday nite! It just can't get much better than this.
