This is what i could come up with in a pinch:
"He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous."

@Danni, you don't give much credit to our ancestors. Several nearby ancient cultures knew pi more accurately than one decimal place.
Job: But _Job_ also speaks of a cast metal sky. So much for "raqiya"-revisionism.
Isaiah: A circle is not a sphere.
(And please don't bother responding with the vocabulary games. Either the Bible says so or it doesn't.)
There are so many verses throughout the Bible that contradict the few cherry-picked verses that either happen to be accurate or can be spun by linguistic revisionism and creative interpretation. If you throw enough spaghetti at a wall, eventually some will stick.

Pi = 3.
Egyptians had pi at 3 1/7 for hundreds of years before the Bible. Babylonians put it at 3 1/8 or 3 1/7. And the 1 Kings reference is actually Pi = 30/10. So unless you were rounding by tens, Pi = 31/10 is better. Even 32/10 is better.

Job: God is hanging the Earth upon nothing.
Isaiah: The circle of the Earth is mentioned.
About the 1 Kings reference: Many people think that because it is rounded to 3, the Bible is incorrect. But, mathematically, rounding Pi to 3 is close to the 3.14 that is usually used.
I'd say those "Jewish shepherds" did pretty good. Pi wasn't perfectly calculated until much later on.

The Bible is not a science book. It confirms the laws of nature that were known to its authors.

Everything produces after its kind, and the stars and moon are for signs and seasons and this is all in Genesis.
Death of Adam and Eve was told in Genesis and it happened because of their sin (disobedience to a law) law being what GOD SAID....."don't do it or else."
Water nourishes earth and plants is in Genesis.
Let there be light and we have a sun.
Water and land are seperate.
