“I did go to the site you linked to...I think it is a very far stretch to say that that is G-d’s calendar in the context we were discussing on this thread...”

If you had natural curiosity, it would take little effort to see that portion of Exodus is the seed.

FWIW, the dating concept from (slightly before) Biblical date of Creation is called “Anno Mundi” and was used by Christians until pagan Roman emporers decided they wanted to be immortalized in the calendar.

Orthodox Christians (and Roman Christians until they got eaten by lions) still use a parallel non-pagan dating system known as “Etos Kosmou.”

The only dating I have ever heard of...including in history classes at university is the BC/AD dating. Until recently this is what was used, period. At least in the civilized portion of the planet.

A seed is not a product and you have failed to produce a calender...you choose to be dogmatic and hence we have come to a standstill.

I enjoyed discussing light hearted things with you, but wish to move on now...thanks for the chuckles.
