How does June 6 2005 = 666?
Can someone please explain? The whole theatre went 'huh?'..
shareJune 6, 2006 = 666 not June 6, 2005. This is where the movie got it wrong and I was left going "huh?" at the screen.
The sixth year of the new millennium was 2006, not 2005.
The millennium starts in 2001 not 2000.
How can 2006 be the sixth year???
1 Jan 2006 - 31 Dec 2006 : Seventh year
1 Jan 2000 - 31 Dec 2000 : 1st year of the new millennium
Similarly, June 6, 2005 is the ongoing 6th year.
The problem with social media - Idiots now got a voice
Simple, really.
The first 'modern' century - in regards the the biblical dating separator of BC/AC - was 1AD - 100AD (there is no such thing as 'year zero' or 0AD), Second was 101AD - 200AD, the Third, 201AD - 300AD, continuing on to the 20th century of 1901AD - 2000AD, and the 21st being 2001AD - 2100AC, therefore the sixth year of this century IS 2006.
The year 2000 wasn't part of the '90s (that decade), just like it wasn't part of that century or millennium. People that say the millennium started in 2001 are just dumb (but pretending to be smart).
shareAs I posted to someone else's post, read the following:
2000 is the end of the second millennium, while 2001 is the start of the third millenium.
There is no 0 BCE (Before Common Era) & no 0 CE (Common Era), so it's not 2000 but it is 2001, because the new century starts at 1, hence:
1 BCE
1 CE
As someone else said, see here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_(year)
So, as you can see the century started in 2001, so the following is correct:
2001 = Year 1
2002 = Year 2
2003 = Year 3
2004 = Year 4
2005 = Year 5
2006 = Year 6
But your list is not correct. The reason being, like someone else said, we start the count on 1 and 0 ends the count as can be seen here:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
10 is the 0 in this case.
And if you want to find out more about BCE & CE:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Era
And then there's this, which I posted before making the post you just read through:
The millennium started in 2001, so actually it should be 1-10, not 0-9. You can read more about here: http://www.timeanddate.com/counters/mil2000.html.
With that said, 2006 is supposed to be the sixth year, not 2005.
Exactly, because the century started in 2001, not 2000...the former is correct, while the latter was a business thing because of all the supposed problems that operating systems were going to have on 1/1/00; which turned out to be a non-issue!
This is one reason why "The Omen" remake had a working title -- and was just about the real title -- as "The Omen 666", because it was released on the 6th day, of the 6th month, in the 6th year of the century.
The other thing with 666, is that it's a Kabbalistic Secret, and was made into an "evil" number by the early church to make the Jewish people look bad, just like a tonne of other things in the bible.
I am an Atheist, so I don't believe in any magical sky fairy.
