In an interesting parallel to my developing series on Numbers in the Bible, CBC has a radio/podcast series called “The Greatest Numbers of all time”. It is a secular approach to significant numbers. But even a secular approach cannot avoid religion. In the first episode – on Zero – they say “According to Aristotle the concept of zero was antithetical to the very existence of God. Medieval Christians attempted to ban its use.” Sounds interesting – but I hope they get beyond 0,3,5 and 9 to 13. You can access the series here..
