>I think the Bible got Pi wrong.

Scientifically accurate and mathematically accurate are two different things. It would be scientifically accurate to say that the Earth circles the sun; mathematically though it is not a circle, but an ellipse. (A circle would have an eccentricity of zero, instead it is about 0.01671... which is pretty close to zero.)

Now, as to Pi, the question I have for you is how would you describe Pi in a world of natural numbers? Three, there is no closer answer. And in many cultures that’s all that was used, even as recently as the Vikings.

So, in conclusion:
Mathematics is not [the same as] Science, it is actually far stricter.

It would be scientifically accurate to say that the Earth circles the sun; mathematically though it is not a circle, but an ellipse.

To be truely accurate you would have to say that the earth and sun orbit a common center of gravity. This is the cause of the wobble we use to find planets orbiting other stars. (or other planets and stars orbiting their common center of gravity)
