sure buddy, the bible should have been filled with all the todays issues, and tomorrows issues such as fusion, and interdimensional traveling. so when the christians from the 1000's read the bible, they would have to skip about 10000 pages labeled "don't read this stuff until you discovered fusion".

geez, i hope you were being sarcastic
EDIT:and i believe you were, my apologies

The Governor vetoed this.

what is more troublesome is that the governor HAD to veto this. normally, this should have been a scrap of toilet paper that the fundys were trying to pass and it should have crushed by the people who are supposed to vote on it.

i wonder if the US federal authority can step in and veto stuff like this even if it violates state authority.

3, which is correct to the level of precision of the numbers used to calculate it.

They used pi to a very much more precision as 3. They knew the quotient between diameter and circumference. Pyramids are still there, aren't they?

The pyramids aren't circular. I don't understand your point.
