Roughly speaking...it seems a major religious leader was born every 600 or so. Who is next ?

Buddha was born 600 BC
Jesus was born 1 AD
Muhammad was born 600 AD
Martin Luther 1400 AD
??? (our time)

Again... chronology is roughly dated.

Most people realise that December 25th wasn't actually the birthday of christ (no more than any other day) but most people don't realise or want to accept that the year of jesus's birth is also unknown.

As for your 600 years theory (aside from the ML discrepency) means you can almost certainly specify any timescale and find a
pattern that will fit with world spiritual leaders. Given that you didn't even stay within one religion, it's impossible not to put figures down to any time scale. In fact, going on your 600 year pattern and forgetting Martin Luther if we go to 1200ad we have Thomas Aquinas and Francis of Assissi.

This takes us to 1800ad where we have Báb, Persian prophet and founder of Bábísm and William Booth, social reformer, founder of the Salvation Army.

So, who will we have in 2400ad? Who cares? Hopefully by that time numerology and mystical beliefs will finally have succumbed to generally accepted evidence of the lack of an omnipotent creator and the chanting and wining to greater beings will be noted by its silence.

Very roughly dated. Your examples of birth dates deviate from 600 years by up to 33%. The time frame is not statistically relevant.

That means a religious leader should have been born in the year 2000. Right?

1400-600 = 800 years.

You're a little not-accurate. What happened to Malcolm X?

those cats waited almost a lifetime to begin their crusades so we can expect a move around twenty 30 or so jesus was what 33 and so try an average on the ages then youve got a mean date for the end of time

I would say the most recent was Mother Theresa. She taught the true meaning of God by example and God smiled----
