Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

No TRUE Christian™ would test God!!!

If you do test God, then I hope God gives you the wrong answer so you burn in Hell for all eternity. Only people who believe without evidence deserve to go to Heaven.

Then why have I seen COUNTLESS threads on this forum about testing things that the bible says? TESTING if the earth is flat, TESTING that gravity exists, TESTING how far away stars are, etc.

Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

You dont need to use a measuring tape to measure the circumference of a circle
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

Why would He have made the circumference 3.145...... times the diameter when He can make it a nice round 3?

Proverbs 20:10 Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the Lord.

Or just believe in your Lord God, believe the Bible and go to Heaven while laughing at all the fools in Hell who were too bothered (while they were alive) about trying to look clever in front of other credulous idiots.

Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

Pah! God said the length across a circle is 1/3 of the way around the circle. Have you ever tried to measure around a circle? The tape measure always bends funny or springs off or gets kinked and ruined.

I'm pretty impressed that whoever had to measure all those circles got as close as they did. They were only off by a little bit. Someday, they'll figure out a better way to measure, and then I bet they get a perfect 3:1 ratio!

Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

The bible NEVER actually says the word "pi". To say that the bible tells us that pi=3 is a lie, since the bible never actually mentions "pi", does it?

Pi is nothing more than a value given to the relationship between the circumference of a circle to the diameter. The value of pi has NOTHING to do with cubits, or any unit of measurement for that matter. Someone, somewhere observed that in ANY circle, the circumference divided by the diameter gives a value of 3.1415926535... and we gave this value a name: Pi

1 Kings 7:23 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.

OK, say the Bible doesn't use the word pi. However it does tell us the relationship between the circumference and the diameter of a circle. What would you call that?

1 Kings 7:23 describes a circle ten cubits in diameter and thirty in circumference. Pi is circumference divided by diameter. Thirty divided by ten equals three. Therefore Pi equals three.

Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

Friend, the only facts worth following are those as contained in the KJV as spelled out by God. Is it your contention that God could of made an error?

I think you have hit the nail on the head there, Mr Hutchins. In 2000 years the finest minds the world has even seen have been unable to find even a single error or contradiction in the Bible. And yet this joker, who can't seemingly write 2 sentences back to back without making a schoolboy error, comes along and claims the Bible is wrong. So in his mind I suppose we're meant to stop worshipping Jesus and start worshipping him now? I don't think so

Mr. Engineer welcome to this place. You may or may not come to this place with good intentions but trying to put forth facts will only result in somewhat hostile reactions.

Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

I have just mathematically proven to you that you can make pi any value you want, and the method that the "Good Dr." used was correct.

Look, buddy, I don't know what all those words mean, but if the Bible says pi = 3, it equals three. Not four. Not 3 point one and a half. Three.

Once you question God's ability to do math correctly, then you are on the slippery slope to having all the anal sex you want, murdering your parents, and voting for Jerry Brown. If you absolutely insist on taking the well worn travail to Hell, why do you feel the need to convince other people to come with you?

Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

Tsk tsk, you keep ignoring the facts. You keep picking random numbers, you even are saying it yourself. And you keep ignoring the fact you still never claim where you get your original numbers for Volume and Radius from. Where did they come from? You chose those randomly as well. Thats what I am trying to get at. Sure a box (A = L x W) 2 x 3 has a area of 6. Its area is directly proportional to the measurement of its sides (Length and Width). As well as the volume of a sphere is directly proportional to its radius cubed. (V = 4/3 x Pi x r^3). You can treat this as the same as the Area Formula where V = A, (4/3 * Pi) = L, and W = r^3. You chose a known volume, and radius that would give you the number you wanted for Pi. I have shown this repeatedly. So unless you can tell us all where you got those numbers from instead of arbitrarily (Randomly) being chosen, (which I do believe is the case), your proof is invalid.

Friend. You are missing a serious matter. That of the fact that God doesn't care one bit about any of that claptrap.

If you want to go to Heaven you need to start praising Jesus and doing God's bidding.

Romans 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

Psalm 145:3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.

Isaiah 40:28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
