"66 CE?" " Whens'at? CE = Common Era.
Seems that BC and AD are no longer used by religious scholars because their meanings are too religious.

I bristle at the use of CE and BCE instead of AD and BC. "Seems that BC and AD are no longer used by religious scholars because their meanings are too religious." It's a cute irony, but I, personally, find nothing ironic in the fact that a Hebrew University professor chooses not to refer to Anno Domini (The year of our Lord).

I may be speaking out of turn, but maybe he was questioning the year and not the designation. The Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD. Are AD and CE interchangle or is there a conversion needed. I always have thought the former.
