from the 10th to sixth centuries BCE.

I liked the BC (before Christ) much better than BCE, (before Christ's Era).

Much simpler.

Yeah, I know the truth of it.

I think the secular progressives started using "BCE" to replace "BC" a number of years ago, with the acronym meaning "Before Common Era."

A problem is that the reference to BC and AD are built on the false history that the Messiah was born in year 1. It can be conclusively established that He was born no later than 4 BC(E).

And, isn’t EVERY year His year anyway (i.e. AD)?

This is a quote from someone in the Isreal Antiquities Authority. I would guess that he is Jewish, so as far as he is concerned, we are still in the time Before Christ.
