PurpleMath makes a very artificial, contrived effort to show that the biblical value of π given in this passage is correct to three significant digits. That simply isn't possible unless your bowl is extreeeeeeeeemely precisely made. The point is that her efforts to make The Bible correct are as tortured as the efforts of Galileo's Inquisitors to persist in the belief that the Earth was the center of the universe.
The Bible isn't a science book. It isn't a book of mathematical tables. We can't really talk about a Christian denomination being pro (or anti-) science until we get that issue off the table.
Ah, I see your point. As a practical matter, given the description in the Bible, how would a laver like that be made? I mean, if you and I were only given the vague description could we create it and how would we?
I don’t believe the Bible to be a guide to science. I’m just curious and appreciate your insights.
