Ironically they’re still using Christ’s birth as the turning point in history; they’re still counting by the number of years before, or after Christ’s birth. but they’re trying to deny this by changing the reference term, from BC to BCE. Typical political correctness - a denial of reality.

No, we are using a common dating system that has been in use for 1,500 years. Any idiot knows that Jesus was not born or conceived in the year 1 AD.
