Hello once more, and it is time for another round of Fun (or not so much fun, depending on who you are) with Numbers. I guess you can tell where I want to go with this one, as I have 6 listed as the number of creation... or if you are mathematically speaking, the first perfect number.
A perfect number is a number whos divisor smaller than it add up to the number. In other words, the divisors of 6 are 1,2,3,6 and in the standard number set, 1+2+3=6. It is the number of creation because its divisors create the number itself... but why does this matter. Well, it doesnt so much matter to most that it is the number of creation, I mean, the religions I am familiar with do this exact same thing in saying the world was created in 6 days. The problem most people I have talked to about this concerns the claim that 6 is a perfect number, because they are pretty much typical southern baptist (not that there is anything wrong with that). I mean, I explain to them that Pythagoras created this number theory to try to explain the universe.... then I for some reason go off into the rant that the pentagram was the Pythagoreans symbol, and suddenly I am satan worshiper. I mean really.... do I look like a satanist. I mean, it doesnt matter.... it is a number for crying out loud. Just because I happen to agree with Pythagoras more than most religions is because his makes more sense to me... but that is a different story.
Anyway, I will talk to you later... when I get aggrivated by another person in regards to numbers.
