base 10 is anti-christian
we should be using base 12. it's the math jesus would do.
(actually if it's gonna be like that, we should be using base 84 since it includes 2,3,4,6,12, AND the very important 7.) but that's mildly cumbersome.

It's our usual maths proof that God isn't a mathematician. He would have given us 12 fingers and 12 toes if He really had any interest. Or 15 digit on each limb would have given us the Babylonian 60 which would be even better.
I'd never thought of 84 before, but you're right, it does include the first troublesome prime: 7. Sadly it misses 5 which is a shame. How about 420?

i have no proof for this, but it must have been so.

Actually we were perfect binary before the Fall so we had one finger and zero toes. That is the actual origin of the Great Italian Gesture, universally understood due to our genetic memory from Eden. It was also the real cause of the expulsion from the Garden. When God called out "Adam, where are you?", Adam just waved.

triskadecaphilia
6 and 7 or both sacred numbers, 6 for evil, 7 for good. 6 + 7 = 13. in joshua's case, 7 days marching, once per day. 7 times on the 7th day = 13 trips around the city.
13 is 12 + 1, jesus and his disciples, or jacob's sons + dinah. or as the tribes of israel, 11 (one for each son) and 2 (from joseph). 13 is two work weeks, and the shabbat between them.
13 is made of the numerals of 1 and 3, signifying the trinity.
