'Cannot'...?

Seems that Reality continues to destroy mere 'Philosophy'*.
And if you place such stock on 'rounding off' and 'nearest integers', here's a challenge. On the basis of the 'True Science' of the Bible - which has to be obeyed, word-for-word, letter-for-letter, as it is the Word of God no less - which states that Pi = exactly 3...:

...build me a wheel. Seeing as the false Science which states that Pi isn't exactly 3, but 3.141592... In fact, I dare you to. Because if you can't, you'll have just proven (1 Thessalonians 5:21, and all that jazz) that 'True Science' - the Bible - is lies. ALL of it.
Go ahead, P-G Tits. No pressure...! >:D
*- One hand clapping: just hit the fingers of that hand on the palm. Whilst there isn't much volume, the sound is there. 'If a tree falls over, and nobody's there to hear it, does it make a sound?': Digital audio recorders with auto-record (I have one, made by Olympus); also Lithium batteries. Place one near a tree that is creaking in the wind (which you know will get far worse, via the weather forecast), and leave the area. Return to forest after a strong gale force wind, and said tree is now horizontal. Retrieve recorder. Press 'Play'. Hear sound of tree falling over when nobody was around. Schrodingers Cat: Place a tiny wireless video camera & light source in box containing cat. OR: Place cat in box made of transparent Perspex. [/hyper-smartarse]
'Philosophy'? I piss on it! Rainbows don't actually physically exist, but at least they can be seen. Atoms/molecules? Electron Microscopes. Air/Wind? Smoke introduced into the airstream in wind tunnel tests to test the aerodynamics of model/actual size aircraft/vehicles. Therefore the unseen can be seen.
Next Question.
Anything & everything supposedly 'Supernatural'? The Abrahamic 'God'? Considering rainbows, and 1 Thessalonians 5:21, no evidencee, no acceptee. Next Question II.
I've said it before, but bears repeating: I think so much, I scare even myself, sometimes. Thus, for the intellectually/educationally inferior fundies out there, the Bible: It does the thinking for you.
'Reason is the enemy of Faith'
-Martin Luther
'Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible; thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man.'
'So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence.'
-Bertrand Russell
'Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear'
'The only way to combat ridiculous propositions is through mockery'
-Thomas Jefferson
