So I enjoy maths.
So I came to this thread.
At first reading the first page I was a little confused by exactly what was going on... and having read the subsequent 5 pages, I'm very very confused.
Could anyone give me a hand here? What's the objective here? I have no idea where this thread came from so I lack context, and am completely baffled by reading this thread's contents. But I am interested and would like to know. Who can help?
Basically, the Op thinks that, since the numbers in his birthday seems to correlate with the dates in a number of historical events, and some numbers mentioned in the bible or other historical religious texts, he thinks he is the antichrist and seriously considers taking his own life because of "the incredible coincidence" in the numbers. I also got the impression that the op thinks a series of numbers by some coincidental similarity or correlation, has convinced him that he can prove that extremely powerful aliens, or some entity of sorts, formed our solarsystem with the intention of creating life on earth and human beings.
I think this about sums it up. Of course, people have been trying to tell him that they are just numbers and that he should seek proffesional psychiatric help.
