I say BCE and CE, because that in reality is the only thing we can universally measure in terms of years. Anything else is mere superstition.
That's so full of shit. It's still the same fucking Christian dating system with it centered on the supposed birth of Christ. Merely changing the names doesn't change it.
If you want to claim your fictional super hero gave birth to the universe and all the life on this planet, I cant stop you. But science has put the earth years at 4+ billions of years, not the mythological 10,000 year crap fans of this fictional sky daddy want to claim.
The fact we are stuck with a calender started by Christians doesn't make virgin births real. Not to mention the days and months named are POLYTHEISTIC GOD names in origin.
"We started it" ok, by that logic you should worship the sun as a god because the Egyptians were the first to perfect the pyrimid shape.
Oh and the greeks were the first to use the word "atom" so that must have ment they knew about quarks?
But your precious Jesus countdown calander was not always perfect or accurate and was STILL based on prior polythistic celestial sun and moon positions. We only hold 2012 now because it is the point we chose to keep, but it is hardly reflective of the actual age of life or the planet, nor will it ever make magic babies real.
