You can find 666 all over the place, but the implications drawn vary
tremendously.
It seems that people can easily get into fear/fascination or mockery of the
phenomenon.....
But consider this: How could the man who wrote the book of Revelation, who
was not a learned man in mathematics, randomly dream up a three digit number
that would appear so frequently approximately 2k years later in the computer
age......?
If anyone is interested in criticizing the devine inspiration of the Bible,
I suggest reading about the critical / analytical men who discovered the
Bible Code.
But in the final analysis, lets examine our own relationship with the
Creator
