    I have heard alot of hype about 666 being the evil number??? Why? This is one of the dumbest things ever...an evil number. How can a number be evil???
    Are there any retards out there who are going to defend this stupid idea???
    Is the number 69 good? How about 13...is that one evil too?

    Here's a little background about the 'evil' number. It orignates from either Egypt or India. There are old statues from both cultures with the number on their foreheads. It is older then the Bible. And if the bible does refer to it...it is only slanting it from its orignal meaning. Aleister Crowley wrote alot about it, and now there's alot of hype about it being evil. This retard theme even appears in many movies. Is it that people are bored and want novelty?

    Also...666 is the number of the carbon...6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. Since we humans are carbon-based life forms, are we then condemned?

    Also, Lucifer is derived from Dianna Luciferia...Female. And many keep thinking that is male? Dianna Luciferia is also Artemis, the Goddess of Wild Nature; one of the triple Goddesses from many differnt versions (the other two are Selene and Hekate). As for Satan...that name is derived from Sekmet...also known as Set.

    If you think 666 is really evil...how, why, and what makes it so???

    Isn't The Beast supposed to be marked with 666 ?
    The number 666 is not evil itself, it marks the evil one (at least according to the bible).

    and

    I love wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_the_Beast

    I imagine, that over the years, the number 666, like the Pentagram were severely demonized by the religious establishment, and its more thanks to them that it has its current present day notoriety.

    Earliest manuscripts are meant to have stated the number as 616 - as it ties in to their calculation of the "Golden Ratio" (616 / 1000) - although 618/1000 would have been closer.

    Whether this is true or not - no idea.
    Sounds good, though.

    To the ancients number have meanings, 666 represents man as God.

    I saw a program on Discovery Channel once that speculated that 666 stands for Nero Caesar. It was quite convincing, although I can't remember the details..

    "Scholars who believe that the Book of Revelation refers to historical people and events argue that the number represents Nero. In Hebrew gematria, every letter has a corresponding number. Summing these numbers gives a numeric value to a word or name. In Hebrew, "Nero Caesar" is spelled “נרון קסר”, pronounced "Neron Qe(i)sar". Adding the corresponding values yields 666, as shown:

    Resh - 200
    Samekh - 60
    Qoph - 100
    Nun - 50
    Waw - 6
    Resh - 200
    Nun - 50
    TOTAL - 666

    Removing the terminal נ (written as ן) makes the name "Nero" rather than "Neron", and makes the numeric value 616, which may explain that variation.

    Resh - 200
    Samekh - 60
    Qoph - 100
    Waw - 6
    Resh - 200
    Nun - 50
    TOTAL - 616

    The hypothesis that 666 is a code for a Roman emperor seems to have historical support. The emperors were noted for their oppression of both Jews and Christians. Both communities were known to use numerology, codes and symbols (such as the Ichthys) when living under Roman rule to avoid persecution."

    I think that one could make a case that an evil force did create life, as a way of making the Universe refuse to obey God.

    Not if time doesn't exist.
    Maybe the pictures lead to that, but the pictures never go away.
    Even if we die every second of our life we lived remains frozen in the void.
    The pictures of the near and distant future are also already there. We are nothing jumping though pictures.

    As to humans dying. Everything dies!!!!! But it takes a long time to Die once and for all. Its not as easy as you think!!!

    That can off course be interupted in many ways.

    Yeah, it has nothing to do with the question.

    Just a spontaneous answer returning to Cosmic Traveler.

    Numbers aren't evil.

    Well, OK - but I think this is the first time I ever saw someone derail their own thread. :shrug:

    And of course numbers aren't evil. No more than letters are.

    But ONLY if one is silly enough to believe in numerology.

    Hum,
    it also helps to be able to count.
    The Latin for “Caesar Nero” transliterates to “qsr nrw” or 616.
