This Google Search will give you fascinating information about the 3.0 pi controversy.
I have to say that most of the time, I use 3.0 for pi in estimating the circumference of a circle. Does this make me a horrible fundamentalist - or could it be I'm just a lazy mathematician?

As for the controversy about how the earth was created, I have one question: Who really cares?
I would venture to say that most high schould students think that creationism and evolution are exactly the same: boring. And I'll betcha they think their parents are pretty silly for arguing about it, since the really important things in life are music and the opposite sex.
