>>1) The 4 ancient Greek elements were Earth, Air, Fire, Water, NOT Hydrogen, Oxygen, Carbon, and Nitrogen...<<
The Christian religion is mainly based on Judaism.
>>2) There was always a 5th in the Greek system, and probably the Babylonian system predating it, Aethyr!<<
The ancient Hellenic five Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Aethyr are a bit different from the below but I think you get the picture. I could provide the numerology if you like.
El = IEWE = Hydrogen = aithyr
Adoni = Father = Oxygen = water
Son = Carbon = earth
Adon(lord) = Holy Spirit = Nitrogen = air
Elohim = Nefelim = ... = fire
Now why do we need the fifth element which in Hebrew is fire and not Hellenic aithyr? Well the four elements look OK to create DNA but we are forgetting one thing, mutations that guide us in evolution, maybe man was created by way of the mutation of another DNA in God's image. I will leave the three dot's above for you to figure it out. Jesus is the embodied God because all other manifestations of God are gaseous - He on the other hand is a solid - relating thus to the human body.
