Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

I came back in hopes that maybe someone in the community might see the hypocritical ways that's so apparent in this forum, but it appears these hopes have been let down.

Google 'round' - top of the list

round
Adjective:
Shaped like a circle or cylinder: "she was seated at a round table".
Noun:
A circular piece of a particular substance.
Verb:
Pass and go around (something) so as to move on in a changed direction: "the ship rounded the cape and sailed north".
Synonyms:
circular - rotund - globular - plump - spherical

Now admit you're wrong and stop whining.

Job 5:2
For wrath killeth the foolish man, and enuy slayeth the SILLY one.

I see you left out "like or approximately", thus altering the proper definition from google. Congradulations, you have effectively made yourself a liar by twisting the truth.

Yes, I have pointed out that an oval is also round, but not perfectly round like a circle.

Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

Is there something that is round that is not circular? Can you think of anything?

Hmm. I think round and circular mean the same thing.

Yes, I have pointed out that an oval is also round, but not perfectly round like a circle. The passage mentioned earlier doesn't say anything about the sea being circular, but being round. I ask again for citation that suggests that the molten sea it is referring to is in fact a circle and not an oval.

The Holy Bible tells us that the reason you don't understand is because your father is satan.

That's an Ad Hominem fallacy. It's not refuting my point at all. Whether or not my father is satan (I'll have you know that he's not) is irrelevant, because my point still remains the same. As a sidenote, even satan tells the truth at times in the bible, even if they are only half-truths. A lie is more convincing when there's some truth behind it to make it appear convincing.

The poor moderation in this community (the moderators who are verbally attacking me and my registered account), are making it clear I'm unwelcome here. All I did was made a few observations and ask a few questions, and all of hell goes loose at me.
I thought this was a community that supported free speech. But it appears these forums wreak of hypocrisy.

To the moderators: if you wanted me to leave, all you had to do was ask. Before I part, I strongly suggest you reconsider your moderation methodology. If you're going to go back on the promises you obliged to, at least make it less apparent to the client. Good day.

Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

I don't get it. What reasoning could bring someone to the conclusions that pie is equivalent to 3?

The Holy Bible tells us that the reason you don't understand is because your father is satan.

John 8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 8:45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

By the sounds of it, you're quoting the bible. Please understand that misinterpretations make a very easy way to be misinformed. It says "round", but pi defines the circumference of a perfectly round circle. How can we be sure that the round molten sea this passage is referring to is a perfectly round circle? An oval is also round, but it is also not a circle. I found no passage that suggests that it is not an oval.

Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

No, it doesn't. However, the Bible does mention cake several times.

I do not understand your established relationship between pi and baked pastries. Please elaborate.

[WWJDnow]

Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

the bible never actually mentions "pi", does it?

No, it doesn't. However, the Bible does mention cake several times. For example, there's:

And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son. 1 Kings 17:13

BTW, just for your future reference, there's an e at the end of the word pie.

Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

I don't understand. Pi, as generically defined, is the 16th letter in the greek alphabet, and in mathematics, is defined as the ratio of a circumference of a circle to its diameter.

Is there something I am missing in this observation?

1 Kings 7:23

King James Version (KJV)

23 And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.

Do the math.

Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

Reason cannot. Only faith teaches such things, friend. Faith in the Good Book, that is.

Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

So you're admitting that theres a possibility that you would get 3.14?

I could get it wrong. Satan could deceive me. God could be insulted by my taunting Him despite His lovongkindnesses and tendermercies and decide to allow Satan to deceive me so that He will have more company in Hell. It doesn't mean the Bible is false.

Your senses could always deceive you.

Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

3 - still. Time has not change Gods answer, son.

If you actually did the experiment, you will not have gotten 3. You can lie to me on this forum, but you cannot lie to yourself.

What if I got 3.14? Then I would be damned for all eternity, because reason would compel me to doubt the Word of God. I'm afraid being right is not worth an eternity in Hell, friend.

So you're admitting that theres a possibility that you would get 3.14?

Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

Just do my experiment and see for yourself. There, plain as day

1) Take a cup, or plate, or anything circular
2) Make a mark on it so you know where you start
3) Roll it on a table along side a ruler, and see what the circumference comes out to
4) Measure the diameter, and divide the first number by the second
5) Tell me what you get

Spaghetti all over the table.
