Why?
The Chinese and Even Jews have their own calendar too. It still remains that scientifically the days are still cut into the same time periods of 24 hours a day and 365 days or 364 depending on leap year. Considering the planet is 4 billion years old, knowing you cant pin it down to an exact date, seems pointless. And how would you note a for 4 billion year old planet, or even a 13.8 billion year old universe on a check, or paperwork?
Most of the world uses 2019 as our common year for communication and business purposes in any case. I get not liking the BS claims that Christians use it to note the "return" of Jesus. But secularists say common era instead of BC.
I think the world has bigger fish to fry than to worry about a calendar.
If you want to piss off the Jesus fundies who insist on saying BC, remind them that the days of the week and months are all named after polytheists god/s.

Not all of them.
