Oh..and it says everything I need to know about you when you stated my reference of pi is an attack on the Bible. You aren’t viewing science and evolution as an effort to learn but rather an attack on your belief system. I cited it as an example of how a literalist could destroy mathematics if they insisted the text was perfect and absolute and any mathematical difference was heresy.

But like I said, you’ve made firm your beliefs and set your faith upon them. That’s a rather poor and arrogant way to read the Bible. The proper Christian should try and keep science and faith in one accord and not toss aside science because it differs with your interpretation of faith. It’s not an attack to suggest that some passages of the Bible aren’t literal recollections of events.

So you are the clown.

What a "proper Christian" should or shouldn't do I wouldn't know. What sect is that anyway?

As for me I'm a Catholic who has a great regard for science, faith and mathematics.

Perhaps you should write more clearly. When you write that the Bible says that pi is a rational number that is nonsense not supported by any facts. You should be ashamed as a "proper" whatever the heck you are for bearing false witness, no?
