I've been wondering eversince i saw the CGI's on the 1st C&C. It hit me when Seth quoted: "from godd, to kane, to seth". Then I started researching, and Seth was actualy Cain's(Kane) brother and 3th son to Adam, as mentioned in Genesis 5:3. Cain and Abel are the first and second sons of Adam and Eve. Cain commits the first murder by killing his brother after God rejects his sacrifice but accepts Abel's. After this Adam was given a 3th son named Seth and Cain was banished to the Land of Nod, east of Eden; "And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden"
Then Kane mentioned he named Tiberium after Tiberius Caesar Augustus and after the Tiber river where the meteor crashed.

Something else hit me when playing Renegade:
Spoiler Warning: This contains spoilers on Nod history and C&C game contend. *the txt color is set as black, so just highlight it*
+ In the last lv, when in the Temple of Nod, There is a tomb of Abel somewhere that has hebrew carvings.
This is what i found on Wikipedia:
While they claim to have been around since before 1800 BC, it is believed to be an exaggeration and the most accepted idea is that it was simply yet another recent, minor terrorist faction. When a scandal broke involving major American defence contractors however, it was discovered that Nod had substantial military air, sea and land power. Interestingly in Dawn's ending credits, a cutscene shows a very old artifact being moved to a museum; a red slab depicting a human on the floor reclining from a scorpion's tail. Additionally in Renegade, beneath the contemporary Temple is what appears to be the tomb of Abel. Entering it elicits an angry proclamation by Kane to Havoc that he should immediately bow his head, stating that its sacred ground and marks the location of the first ancient Temple of Nod. Kane is known as Jacob Caine by Interpol in the Western world and Amir al-Quayym by MI6 in the Middle East. +

Yeah, I heard someplace that that bible passage is mis-translated. Nod(in Hebrew) means land of wandering, I think.
w00t?

Well, as I have heard, it should not be translated as Cain being sent to an actual area of the world called Nod, but rather Cain being sent to wander the earth. And that still makes sense, if you consider the fact that Nod is rather nomadic and has no real base of operations (except in Sarajevo, but even then it continued to operate after the Temple was destroyed).
You may be a fundamentalist atheist if...

If you wanna be a badass ex-marine law enforcment game programmer college graduate, then you can be! I'm just glad we don't see the other part of you where you join AOL chat rooms as "hotchik69" and cyber with guys while you spank off into a sock and then cry yourself to sleep on your cock-shaped pillow.

Not only did you immaturely edit what J_Ball said in your quote. But you fucking got in the irony truck and drove it straight off a cliff.

Kick ass. The site really puts all the C&C games in perspective, except for RA2 and Generals, but they don't count anyways. And I learned a whole bunch of garbage I didn't know, namely because I never had the patience to finish TD on an XP machine, and because my version of TS and FS came without cutscenes...
