The Bible puts pi at 3 even which makes the sine of the beast 0.
1 Kings 7:23 And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to
the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and
a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
You've trotted out that gibe N times in the past, and it's a crock.
A cubit is the distance from your fingertips to your elbow, which makes
it about as precise a measurement unit as a pace. And just to be
ridiculous and import the modern idea of significant digits into a 3,000
year old description: If you think of the circumference as 30.0000... of
these imprecise cubits, the diameter would be 4.78 of them, i.e. 5
cubits when correctly rounded to one digit as quoted.
There are certainly some puzzlers in Scripture, but this is not one of them.
