I must correct my prior post. Pi was taught as "about 22/7", in some New York and New Jersey schools in the fifties. These days I use
Pi = 4.0*atan(1.) , which some say gives the best possible reault for a particular computer or calculator.

Also, if you read more of the Bible than Genesis, you will find passages that declare that God's time is not sensibly related to man's time, so we are not required to believe in 6 modern 24-hour days at all.
