''Bit of a fascinating statement, not sure how you came to this conclusion''
I didn't say that the ancients had no knowledge about anything, or that the ancients were completely ignorant about the world....I said the ancients had no idea about the scope and scale of the universe.
Nor is the value of Pi as described in the bible as accurate as you appear to think. The Greek philosophers and mathematicians were far more advanced than anything that is in the bible, which has pearls of wisdom but just as many errors, absurdities and contradictions.
''The Bible seems to claim that the value of π (pi) is 3.
While some atheists like to cite this as a demonstration against strict Biblical literalists, as we could certainly expect greater precision if the words of the Bible come directly from a god, the argument tends to be viewed as trivial. This argument is certainly vastly overshadowed by the wealth of other errors, contradictions, ambiguities and atrocities contained in the Bible.
It is also worth noting that the cubit itself was an inherently ambiguous unit, being based on the length of the human forearm. Our ancient friends simply did not possess the accuracy of measurement that we do today.''
