What's this about pi=3

[Uraniun235]

I can kinda overlook that considering the flexible nature of the unit of measurement itself.

Except that all the measurements are given in cubits, so any variance in the definition of a cubit wouldn't affect the ratio. So, the measurements are either appoximations, or they are wrong. Either way, the Bible cannot be taken to be strictly and literally true - anything which is 10 units across is going to be more than 30 units around.

The thing is that it isn't a real defined unit, or rather it wasn't at the time.

This doesn't mean that I think taking the Bible literally is at all reasonable.

Except that no matter what length the cubit is, it's going to come up with the same ratios. Unless you're proposing that the unit would change as they measured it... which would just make measurements totally useless to begin with.
