Time is an illusion? I don't think so... we'd all be in stasis if there was no time. The measurement of time is arbitrary to help us understand it, but I wouldn't say it is an illusion.

We created time to help us understand, as you just said. So that would mean that it is a fabrication created by humans to perceive something that we cannot fathom.
Time == Human fabrication to perceive and comprehend the evolution of the Universe.
Time != Evolution.
Thus, Time is just a fabrication (Illusion) created by humans to understand the "daily" process of how things evolve and change. To perceive and comprehend.

According to Einstein, time-space is just an axis in our world. It's not an illusion, it's a way to explain. It may be not what we think it is, but it exists.

Time is not the 4th dimension as Einstein claims (IMO) Because if it were the 4th dimension, it would pass by in space just like it does here on earth. Some claim that the reason time passes slower in space is because there is no friction or gravity, and things travel faster in a vaccum (The latter is true) If this were true, it would defy basic laws (I don't remember which ones) and cause a paradox in our Universe because one cannot pass through dimensions.
Anyways, back on topic:
666 is not the mark of the Devil. I don't exactly remember how it was explained to me, but there was like three occurances that dealt with the number 6, so paranoid religious freaktards, came up with 666.
