The bible has many scientific facts
Let's test this assertion of yours
Pi= C /D
Pi is the ratio of the circumference (of a circle) to its diameter
The ratio is the same for any circle 22/7 or 3.1415.............(infinite)
The Bible mentions a value for Pi in 1 Kings 7:23, describing a large, round basin made by King Solomon.
The verse states that the basin was 10 cubits in diameter and 30 cubits in circumference. Using the formula for the circumference of a circle, this implies a value of Pi as 3, which is a rough approximation.
You can tell with the naked eye that the length of the outer edge of a circle is roughly 3 times its diameter but to find the precise of pi requires true genius which your bible failed to deliver.
Sorry Angus, but it fails the pub test.
