The Circumference of the Sea | Answering the Atheist
Inquiry:
In 1 Kings 7:23, the Bible talks about building a circular structure (bronze sea). The diameter from rim to rim is noted as 10 cubits, so with our knowledge of Pi today, the circumference should be 31.416 cubits (10xPi). However, the text says the circumference is 30 cubits. Is there a contradiction?
