Humanity has always gone crazy with "Hexa...." (whatever) and made a pastime out of figuring out fitting names for the number. If the number did have a literal reference, it would have to refer to the same person in all modern languages. Apparently, institutional Christianity has never noticed this because common sense has been abolished in order for the sixth day creation to replace God's three roles (creation, salvation, and spiritual teaching) with it's own efforts.
The number 6 (and all divisions/multiples/permutations) of it is common in daily life, but it simply could not have a modern universal literary reference no matter how much the "spiritual scholars" want to encourage everyone to think so.
The "spiritual scholars" (self-proclaimed MASTERS) have even been duped into thinking that symbols have something to do with the creator... http://www.av1611.org/nkjv.html
When I first saw the NKJV years ago at the American Bible Society bookstore, I couldn't believe it, the creator is not a "club" and has no use for symbols (especially three sided and pointed). The Christians once SUPPOSEDLY used the "fish symbol" when Christianity was outlawed, but it was not symmetric and was only for their own safety. The institutions and scholars teach sensationalism (for their own profit and fame).
