Subject: Is anything in the bible proven untrue |
Bible Note: Joe, I'll take your questions one at a time. "How are you certain that it is not the diameter of the sea that is being approximated, or the cirumference, or both?" B/C to assume something like that is pure speculation. To the best of my ability, I try not to add to Scripture, I take it as it comes. "How precise does a recorded measurement of a circumference have to be to its diameter times an irrational number in order for it to meet the great atheist's standard of precision?" Assuming the diameter is 10 cubits, the circumference should be 31.4159265... Thus, I wouldn't have a beef if the circumference was given as 31.5 cubits. "Do you really think that something pitiful like this proves the Bible to be unreliable?" No. As I said before, it's not that big of a deal. "I suppose that if I said that I lived 400 miles away from my parents, but actually lived 412 miles away, then I suppose I couldn't be trusted to give an accurate representation of the facts." This argument looks good on paper, but you are a human being, so I expect you to roundoff a little. I don't expect God to give an approximation that was worse than ones already found by mathematicians at the time. Being a graduate student in math, I suppose I take this a little too personally. :-) As I said before, it's not earth-shattering. There's really nothing there to debate. ateo |
