"I think its "before the common era" and "common era". It is an attempt to remove "Christ" as a pivotal historical event. The most "sophisticated" archaeologists always use this device don't ya know."

They claim that this method is used due to a flaw in the dating of the BC system.

Archaeologists claim that this system does not account for a few years, and that by adjusting the BC dating system Christ would actually have been born in 4 BC.

So, 4 BC is thought to be 1 CE.

All of that may be true, but they sure go all the way when it comes to ignoring Christ.

Nope. The years are identical. CE and BCE were simply used to replace BC and AD because they were too Christian-centric. No other reason than that.

This isn't 2005 AD and 2009 CE.
