Astronomical events in Abrahamic religions

[Shaul]

True, you don't have to guess, as you've
known all along.
Unless you've some new explanation
for how 10 units diameter and 30 of
circumference does not yield pi=3
( I've already heard that they used different
cubits for D and for C) then you've nothing to
add ( or subtract, nuktiply or divide) regsrding my
observation about Bible math, but are
merely being tiresome, trying to goad me.

There is no passage in Kings that claims that a single circle has both a 10 units diameter and a 30 units circumference.

" single circle" how many circles are there?

 

[Shaul]

" single circle" how many circles are there?

In this chapter of Kings(and its parallel in Chronicles) the following is a partial list of the circles which are referenced: the one around the brim, the inner one of the molten sea, two giving the locations of decorations on the outside, and the top of the base upon which the molten sea rests. The two that are important here are the circle around the edge of the brim and the inner circle contained within the vessel.

That the two circles are different ones was described by Rabbi Nehemiah in the Talmud and in the book Mishnat ha-Middot. The book Mishnat ha-Middot is about Geometry and measurement. If you prefer a more secular reference, the different circles used in the account of the molten sea can be found in the book "A history of Pi" by Petr Beckmann ( A History of Pi - Wikipedia )

Nice to have you finally admit you knew
all along what I was referring to.

That " explanation" can be stated,in far fewer words. Try C= outside dimension, D= inner
dimension.
But its just a moldy bit of reverse engineering made up to get out of the Pi=3 prob.

Nobody even knows if the thing ever existed.
They had no,standard units or means of making
precise or accurate measures anyway. Try measuring a big tank with a ' line" and your forearm


The point anyway is that if a person tries to,derive factual info from what the Bible says, without checking against reality outside the bubble, pi =3
is among the least the least of the ways one will,go off the rail.

If a person didn't know pi is not 3, why would he look further than just doing the simple math and accepting it?

Millions of people think there really was a flood, but are too lazy and crippled by religiosity to check.

Bible math,mbiology,astronomy, etc are worse than useless.
