The date 6/6/6

3rd argument: Numbers game

The human imagination always has a tendency to associate figures, dates or numbers with a certain event. The fact that many people start to shiver for a date/year with the sequence 6-6-6 is a phenomenon that is not very new and has actually been repeated at various times in our history, those feared “encounters” with 666. If we think a little, we will realize that there have been lots of 666 throughout our time scale, even without considering other positions (for example, starting to count time since the formation of the Earth). For example, let's think about dates like 06/06/1906, 06/06/1006, or 06/06/1106; Let's just imagine how traumatized the people were the entire year 666AD!!!. In fact, there are curious examples of this hysteria:

• On September 2, 1666, a misfortune occurred in England known as the Great Fire of London, which practically destroyed the city; Although the origin of the fire was due to human errors, many voices came forward saying that part of the misfortune was due to the fact that that year ended in 666.
• It is said that all barcodes (that exist in any supermarket product) have the implicit number 666, because the protective bars that mark the beginning, center and end of each barcode would represent the sequence 6-6- 6 (the number six is represented by a pattern similar to protective bars); The detail is that if you look closely at the '6' in a barcode, you can see a wide white bar located to the right or left of the pattern (depending on where the number is located within the barcode), which does not It happens with the protective bars.
• And a much more innocent one: the price of Apple's first personal computer was… $666.66! Evidently, some linked Apple to the dark arts and pacts with the Devil.

This phenomenon is similar when trying to find patterns or coincidences in other areas, for example, in the fabulous Mayan, Egyptian or Incan constructions; or when we imagine figures forming in the clouds, or we thought we saw a human face in a rock formation on Mars. No doubt people will come up with a thousand and one coincidences to support that on dates/years with the series 666 something is going to happen, it is an evil moment, and we should take "precautions."

Naturally, when everyone sees that nothing will happen, the argument will be that thanks to meditations, prayers and other praises, the Prince of Darkness has not manifested; or that it will choose the next calendar meeting with 666, or any other stupidity. And many people, unfortunately, will believe that hackneyed dark circle. Thus, as a third and final conclusion, I can only say that people see what they want to see, and associate things however they want, especially when there is no prior knowledge of the subject, beyond the biblical quote that I made at the time. beginning.

Some final conclusions

To conclude: with this article I did not intend to refute religious beliefs, nor the existence of the Devil, nor the properties of the number 666. I could be more critical and refer to the appearance of numbers themselves, to multiple interpretations for the appearance of this number in the Bible, or unravel the true nature of the entity known as "the Devil."

But just to clarify the matter, it was enough to explain how the measurement of time has been adjusted up to the present day, so that the public would appreciate how subjective the phrase is: "I finished writing this article on Sunday, June 4, 2006, at 11:00 p.m. and 51 p.m.«; in other words, at this moment we may actually be in the year 2008; or in the month of November; or it may be that at this very moment the day, the month and the year form a 666.
