[ RadSafe ] Climate Change, physics and intelligent design --- OFF TOPIC

         The non-problem of pi (in Kings) has 
been solved, as is ably pointed out in another message here.

         Darwinists, atheists, secularists, and 
Bible-haters in general tend to go off 
half-cocked about so-called errors in the 
Bible.  And don't go throwing a big pile of 
"problems" at me.  You're not going to listen to 
me (or anyone else) about them no matter *what* 
we say, so don't waste your time compiling your list.
