What is "C.E."?
"Christian Era".
Actually, it's some bass-ackward convolution meant to remove Christ from the calendar. Christians are taking it back.
Frankly, I don't put much stock into anything that uses the phrases "BCE" and "CE".
It’s actually “COMMON Era” and “Before COMMON Era”-they really try to take Christ out of time.
I bookmarked a thread on the 4th which refutes all of the Islamic claims of influence on the Renaissance-the bottom line is that any accomplishment they claim as their own is from their violent takeover of the civilization that actually invented/discovered the accomplishment.
