No sane/adult Christian believes the Noah’s ark story anyways. I mean, it rivals the Church of Scientology’s nuclear bomb volcano Boeing story in stupidity.
Doesn’t quite reflect too well on the rest of the book.
C’mon bro, really? This isn’t even from the ark story. Besides, it’s amazing how many errors you’ll find in the Bible if you’re looking to invalidate it. Unfortunately, then you completely miss the rational explanations for the surface level discrepancies.
Actually, Noah’s Ark has been found in Turkey. The Turkish govt have built a visitors’ centre there (you can Google it, and from the map you can see the Ark on Google Earth). Oh, and while I’m at it, how can you believe in evolution when there are no intermediate species and the earth is still hot? (I trust you understand that hot things cool down, especially over ‘billions of years’ haha!)
I’m actually not mad at you, I just thought that was a funny burn. I’m sure you’re perfectly well equipped…

Actually, the original Hebrew has some untranslated bits (for the circumference measurement, I think) that can be analysed to be a closer approximation to Pi than the standard ’22/7′ rough value.

1 Kings 23 doesn’t say that.
Should be 1st Kings 7:23
+/- 10% … good enough for Gov’t work.
Also, I imagine their measuring accuracy wasn’t exactly very good way back then.
Or the writer could have been being inexact.
The ancient Greeks were able to figure out pi thousands of years before the Biblewas written, it is no excuse
Sig digs…
Sig GO FUCK YOURSELF.
God pretty much establishes how he feels about knowledge with the Adam & Eve story.
This is a bad argument. It describes something that is circular in shape, but not necessarily a perfect circle.
Well, if they’re only measuring with 1 significant figure, that’s as close as they can really get.
Spelling errors render this argument invalid.
Oh good GOD not THIS again.
HOW THICK WAS THE RIM?
The rim would have to be negatively thick to create this error.
Your dick is negatively thick.
