And yet, you present us with a name (not really, but we'll run with that) that "adds up" to a number with very specific meaning in most christer beliefs.

Numerology, plain and simple.

Nope, not numerology. It's not some mystical meaning to this number. It's the fact that it was predicted that we are concerned with.

Yep. You might claim the number has no "mystical" meaning, but outside of ancient myth, it has none. Besides, you're claiming that a name adds up to 666. "Prince of Wales" is a title, not part of his name.

If I say that a short man with black hair and a mustache in a red car is going to drive up to you and ask for directions at exactly 7:32 tomorrow evening, that would make that event significant simply because it was foretold, not because of what it is.

If you could provide an ancient prophecy that detailed, that actually, undeniably, came true, I'd consider it's relevancy. Since they are all terribly vague and open to interpretation, not so much.

BTW, Congratulations on quitting smoking.

Thanks for that. It sure weren't easy!
