"The number 666 relates to the carbon atom, and man. Carbon-12; one of 5 elements in the human DNA is composed of 6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 neutrons, which equates to 666. Carbon-12 is the most abundant of the two stable isotopes of the element carbon, accounting for 98.89% of carbon. Its abundance is due to the Triple-alpha process by which it is created in stars, and as Carl Sagan had once said, “we’re made of star stuff.”
We are made of star stuff, literally. Not just carbon: the first stars had to explode to make all the heavier elements available. Carbon is really a very light one, and we are evolved now as part of a universe full of heavier elements. It's really a breathtaking idea. However, I think St. John had the spiritual numerology in mind.
