Anno Domini became the prevalent system until Common era came about to placate the Jews and non believers. An entire numbering of History (minus the zero even though the concept of 0 existed) based on a tenuous birth date of one person that existed prior to any of the current minds of the time.
Here's a thought experiment: Today we celebrate Bradjalicious' birthday (Happy Bday, btw) that person is so awesome (I don't know from experience but for this purpose we'll assume) we'll call today A.B. (anno Bradjalicious). 2000 years from now is it important that he lied on his forum B-day field or that he was relevant and awesome enough to be a part of ordering history?
The calendar year was brought about by a Cathy-lick monk in the 6th century who got his numbers wrong. Clearly Jesus was born before 4 BCE because Harod's slaughter of the innocents places the events before Harod died. Also, Jesus was born after 6 CE because Judea wasn't a Roman province until that time and any Roman census wouldn't have applied. I maintain it was a miracle and that's how it happened.
