Elsie, The bible is also unambiguous about the value of pi;

No it's not: Google® it and you'll find plenty explanations of the dimensions.

(Think about the bellhop and the three travelers - "Where did the extra dollars go?")

...the Bible, which you claim is unchanged has undergone hundreds of revisions and translations over the years...

And NONE of things things are cumulative; adding to or compounding 'errors'.

A 'translation' (of any kind of reliability) is NEVER made from another, previous 'translation', but from the earliest known manuscripts available.

I will admit that I am not a trained scientist, however I do play one on TV.

Myself, I have turned ON a TV that had a program that had actors playing doctors! ;^)

I listened on cassette tape to Chuck Missler's series How we got our Bible, I believe that was the one, where he discusses the issue of the value of pi, and seeing your post reminded me of his discusson on that very topic.

It turns out he has a paper on the subject, Fundamental Constants? The Mysteries of Pi and e. Quite interesting.
