BCE is a meaningless contrivance and immediately tells you that it'll be hostile to any reporting on the Flood.
Not so. I believe in the Flood of Genesis 6, and use it.
Also, if you are refering to meaningless contrivances, add BC to it. "Before Christ"? So, since every known scholar has the birth of Jesus at 6-4 BCE, that would mean that BC means nothing other than that is the mistake of a 5th Century monk.

True enough that a mistake was made, but the fact remains that the calendar is centered on the birth and life of Jesus Christ. "BCE" is a contrivance that uses the same exact calendar, but removes Christ's name from the calendar that Little Dennis created about Him.
"Before Common Era" means absolutely nothing. What does 2006 have in "common" with A.D. 6? And how is A.D. 6 so uncommon to 6 B.C.?
If you want to divide history into "Eras", you might as well extrapolate the whole Stone Age/Bronze Age/ etc. But even the Ivory Tower Elites realize that they can't get through a new calendar with a new numbering system any more than they could replace time with a metric minute.
