this really only works when its done verbally...when people are looking at the numbers, its much easier to realize that the answer is 4100 instead of 5000, pretty neat one isnt it

This all dates back to the Ancient Babylonians who liked to count in base 60. Ratios of 6, 12, 60, and 360 were seen by them as being 'round' numbers in the same way that we use base 10 and see 5, 10, 100 etc as useful numbers to divide things up into. \n\nThe Babylonians divided the sky into the 12 signs of the Zodiac, and a circle into 360 degrees. They divided the day and night each into 12 hours (although in many time systems the lengths of these varied between summer and winter! Babylon was rather nearer the equator than Liverpool, so they didn't get too confused with this). The hour was split into 60 minutes and a minute into 60 seconds. \n\nAll these numbers have survived for 4000 years, despite the fact that we have changed our numbering system to base 10! \n\nThe year is nearly 360 days long and the Babylonians split it into 12 months. Other civilizations based their calendar on the moon and had 13 months. We still have problems with this today because Easter is based on the lunar calendar and migrates around the Julian calendar in a complex way.

Christianity is a polytheistic religion that blasphemes against the true living God. It is a religion that pulls the ploy of taking the focus off the Father of creation and placing it on a prophet (who himself practiced true monotheism). Christians try to trick the world by simply saying it is three in one. So can't the Hindus say it is a million in one?

Whenever you want to know demographics of religions, try www.adherents.com first. They give sources for their information so be sure to look at the footnotes to find out the year the information was gathered. They put number of Christians in the U.S. at 217,872,000 as of 2001.

At the bottom of this page there are some Interesting Facts based on this list. \n\nMany of the figures here are estimates. Different methods have been used to collect these figures. Where possible, the figures shown here are for adherents, a larger and more inclusive figure than members. Details may be found in the detailed source notes for each group found in the main Adherents.com listing, although currently a few of the religious bodies on this list are not yet incorporated into the main, online Adherents.com database. (At the end of this document is a list of the world's largest international religious bodies, shown in bold in the main list.) \n\nReligious Body Number of Adherents \nCatholic Church** 1,100,000,000 \nSunni Islam* 1,000,000,000 \n\n\nIn terms of practicing adherents, there are more Sunni Muslims than there are Catholics

At best 2 billion people are considered to be a form of Christian.  Although of those people a significant proportion are reporting that they are Christian even though they do not attend church and have not read the Bible.  Within this group there are many different sects and factions who believe differently from one another.\n\nThe problem with the 'logic' of your question is that there are 6 billion people on the planet.  So Christians are in a clear minority, outnumbered two to one.  So how is it that some Christians are so arrogant to assume that they are superior to the four billion people who believe differently to them?

I'm not certain about children alone, but people in general, he killed around 370,000. Of course, if if god is all powerful as christians claim, he is responsible for the deaths of 50 billion people, the total number of deaths of all people ever. With great power, comes great responsibility. And great corruption. I sure am glad I don't believe all of that god nonsense.

There are certainly numerical correalations apparent in scripture. There are also 12 main commandments - Mosaical 10, plus the 2 that Christ gave. There are 12 numbers including the number 12 that have specific prophetic symbology. I have more on this study but no time to type it here..if you are really interested email me and I'll send what I have. Love in Christ, ~J~  <><

Assuming that you count your millenias from the time planet Earth came into existence, there have been 4.5 million millenias.\n\nAssuming you count it from when man first (seemingly) appeared (I am a Darwinian), there have been around 5000 - 7000 millenias (the exact period of origin of man isnt known)\n\nAssuming that you are so short sighted to be counting from the Christian Era, there have been two millenias (0001 AD to 1000 AD and 1001 AD to 2000 AD). We are therefore in the third.

Estimates range around the 100 billion number.\n\nThe first reference contains an explanation of\nthe assumptions and how they might affect the\nfinal estimate.\n\nThe second reference comes to similar conclusions.

Yes. The ARIS study of 2001 shows that the percentage of Christians in the U.S. has dropped approximately .9% every year since 1991. At that rate, the current percentage of U.S. should be about 73% of the population.
