In the bible, 666 is evil, but there is no proof.

Please prove it for me.

Using Roman numerals, we have vi = 6.  Rewriting gives us:

e^(6)*L = 666

Then clearly

L = 666*exp(-6)

or

L = 1.650848950...

and there you have it,

evil = exp(6)*(1.650...) = 666

QED.

That was the best I could come up with.
