The days of the week and months of the year in the English language refer to the gods and religious calendars of ancient Germanic and Greco-Roman paganism. Yet English speaking Christians and non-Christians use these common terms irrespective of their pagan origins. Likewise, Chinese, Israelis, Indians, Japanese, et. al., used the AD/BC terminology for many years until the liberals in academia came up with the CE/BCE substitute.

The early Christians used the Jewish calendar for many years before setting up this AD/BC terminology. By your reasoning shouldn't we be using the Jewish calendar?

Also, isn't a term like 100,000 BC anti-Christian, since the Bible tells us that the Earth is but 6,000 years old.
Why would you want to associate Christ with such anti-Bible concepts? Let science have BCE.
