The year is still tied to Crist’s birth, even though the seculars have attempted to blur this fact by replacing Before Christ (B.C.) and Anno Domini (A.D.) with B.C.E (Before Common Era) and C.E. (Common Era.)

I think that they should look to the Industrial Revolution or, perhaps the beginnings of mass production for a reference point. They'd probably like After Ford for dating.

They'd probably like After Ford for dating. Oh, brave new world.
Here I just have to mention the story of the farmer who related to some reporter ( under circumstances that I don't recall ) that the dinosaurs had died sixty million and one years ago. "Why do you say sixty million and one?" inquired the reporter. "Well," replied the farmer, "It was just last year a fella told me that they died sixty million years ago."
