Faith itself shouldn't be aligned with religions.
i would say it was his social programming as a child
science counters faith in a lot of ways
(then again, i barely have any knowledge about science supporting religion. i know only about why it opposes it)
If you can caluclate Pi you have no business believing in god.
Anybody claiming god is real, faited 5th grade math and no real scienctist failed 5th grade mathematics.
despite being an atheist, i would counter that
The bible states that Pi is 3.
Kings 7:23-26 (KJV):
"And he made a molten sea [cauldron], 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."
Circumference = Pi(diameter)
Pi = C/d
"10 cubits from brim to brim" is your diameter"
"30 cubit compass around" is your circumference"
30/10 = 3
The Great Pyramid of Giza is 2Pi (6.28/true Pi) with a right triangle, broadcasted all over the desert and ancient world for all to see.
You will never get a correct answer using 3 for Pi. The .14 in 3.14 is the cornerstone of geometrical science. A Pharaoh knew it, why not god? and at the time of it being written to.
What an ignorant 'all knowing' god to screw up Pi that bad.
Theist: "But, but but Pi is rounded"
First, one has an irrational number line to explain.
Next, lets test your/their little theory out and reverse the math so that we can see what rounding does.
god says:
3 * 10 = 30
Science says:
3.14 * 10 = 31.4
30 != 31.4
If your requirements are 31.4, 30 just isn't going to cut the mustard.
god was dead wrong.
Faith and science can co-exist
Nope
It can
Faith in god can
Science forbids faith.
Just say: We're exploring gods creation thru science
thats what Golden always says
Nullius in verba (Latin for "on the word of no one" or "take nobody's word for it") is the motto of the Royal Society.
Faith is strictly forbidden from science.
science relies on proving everything. till date, it has found barely any proof of a god
Pi is science and Pi debunks god. For starters.
That's just one of the many.
You can prove some biblical lines wrong your pi example
Are the same passages in the Quran?
The koran is worse.

lmao
The Quran claims to be written by divine inspiration
the bible not so much
The bible claims infallibility
Where?
That's just a link to the concept of biblical infallibility
scholars argue over this
while you can't argue over quranic infallibility
since it crushes the faith
The Quran was written by Mexican terrorists
It was written by a crossdressing nonce
If it has 1 baloney, it gets shelved next to Gone with the Wind. Another fiction story with some historical truth and a good moral.
I don’t think you could classify the Bible as fiction, though, since that’s not the intent it was written with. The worst you could say about it is that it’s poetry and fables from a particular culture interspersed with politically motivated history, but that’s a far cry from calling it fiction
The view that the Bible was written to 'control people' is basic and superficial at best.
If anything, it was the culmination of the moral teachings at the time that ended up persisting through for a variety of reasons.
The same systemic values you can find pretty much everywhere, and they all have a common root in biology.
Hairy Potter was a big seller to.
The Dead Sea Scolls read like the Potter isle at Barnes and Noble.
Ver 1, Ver 1.a, Ver 2, Ver 2 in Greek.
It was just a popular story amongst illiterate goat herders that had no clue.
Then the intellectuals of 1k CE polished it for 500 years.
They still missed a lot of holes though.
It absolutely was not written by “illiterate goat herders” lol
