All life on earth is carbon based. Carbon consists of 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. therefore, the number of (the beast) man is 666. the carbon connection?
Rev. 13:18 Did this slip through?

The first intelligent life to examine our planet deduced that as carbon is the single element neccessary for all life in any form on this planet, that naturally, carbon having 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. That life on earth "The Beast" has a number of 666.
It is simple science for us, and was for them. It is not a number of end times prophesy, rather a simple scientific label to document the key elements defining the nature of life on this, an interesting little planet, with potential, but not for a while.

I happened to choose the number 666 for a different reason.Hi No one of consequence, :)I'm Andrea. I happen to be a Redhoodist. We follow the scripture according to Little Red Riding Hood, which we believe to actually be a metaphor for the coming of the...tides. Yeah.So, according to Revelations of the Red, the Beast huffed and puffed 666 times.Thanks for the congrats, and have a sunny day! :)Andrea

You Redhoodists are so confused..."So, according to Revelations of the Red, the Beast huffed and puffed 666 times."****** Aren't you mixing up your theology with the Trinity of the Little Pigs?-- Nanaea

Ah yes. I thought you would say that....You see, the Trinity of the Little --we don't say "pig", we say "Portia",-- the Trinity of the Little Portias is a parable that the red-hooded One told.And IN the parable, the beast huffs and puffs 666 times, of course, as you know. That, is to which I was referring. If you had read the Redhood scripture, you would have known too...:p

Well Augustin thoughtWell Augustin thought that the holy trinity was pointed to in many a triade, so why not in the three little pigs too.Such a good thing can hardly be pointed to often enough.*smiles*

It's the number of the BeastIn Revelation, 666 is the number of the Beast (do I need to tell you that the Beast is Satan?) Anyway, on a more cheerful note, I'd like to congradulate (sp?) on responding super-fast!

Ah... No, you don't need to tell me that the Beast is Satan. That "Number of the Best" was a play on words, my Mexican friend.And I only responded "super-fast" coz I happen to be online right now. Will be signing off soon. Nice meetin' ya.P.S. I happen to be Satanist. :)-- Nanaea
