Yes, that's exactly the point. It doesn't matter if you believe or not: the birth of Christ is an historical event and back then was considered really important. So important to be taken as the moment from which start counting. It's a cultural thing, not religious, but anyway with BCE and CE there is the opportunity to use a different convention☺

@@ExploringArtwithAlessandroI would disagree on one point, sir. One can say AD 73 was when Mount Vesuvius destroyed Pompeii, but it is just as common (if not as proper) to hear Mount Vesuvius destroyed Pompeii in 73 AD. The plaque on the Sea of Tranquility says, "Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon. July, 1969 AD. We came in Peace for All Mankind." Neil Armstrong didn't say AD, but it is written on the plaque. If someone says 31 AD or some other date, most folks that I know wouldn't think twice about it.
I will always use BC and AD. If others don't like the religious connotations then we might as well change the names of the days of the week and the names of the planets. There is no rational argument for the change.
I completely agree with you. It feels like some weird kind of cultural-revolution-esque move to do away with BC and AD just because of the religious connotations.
Interesting how the "common era" in question started after one specific event in history which the seculars can never admit had happened because the most documented event in history can somehow be incorrect

Besides the first two days, every day of the week is named after a Norse God, and many of the months are named after Greek/Roman gods, the planets of the solar systems are also named after Greco/Roman gods. How come nobody makes a fuss about this, or wants to rename every month and day of the week bc it has a religious origin? There seems to be a bias against things of Christian origin Christianity has been the most impactful faith ever and Jesus the most impactful figure, it does make sense to base out dating system on his life when those two facts are considered so I don’t see any issue unless we rename everything with a religious origin.

In short use whichever you're most comfortable with. I prefer BCE and CE since I subconsciously knew it was mostly similar enough and I prefer being neutral.
And please don't forget that these suffixes apply to a calendar invented by the Christian world. To use the terms BCE/CE instead is an act of vandalism.

Question, Before common era, what was the calender system that was used. Going back to Julius Cesar, what was the lunar calender number that was used? Julius Cesar borm _____. Julie's Cesar Died ______.

I believe it was the lunar calender. But, what is the number? I thank you in advance for your feedback. Al-Berto
Hi. I am not completely sure I got the question. I am not an expert of ancient calendars. In particular considering that during the ancient Rome many calendars have been used and updated starting from the lunar calendar. That's why the Gregorian calendar has been really useful to make order.
@@ExploringArtwithAlessandro Thank you for your feedback. One reason that in trying to find answers is because as you read the old testament you hear of people that lived over 700 years, such as Moses, Issac or Noah. It is when, I ask myself, (self) how did someone come up with such numbers. There had to be some type of calendar or system in place to arrive at such numbers. Unless is all exaggerated or fabricated. In either case, I do thank you for your feedback. 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
before this recent calendar, in the ancient times people had their own calendars based on their own cultures and also was based on the four seasons , the change weather , and counting the days by each season , all these around a circle and so you could count the circles , and each circle in some cultures (like ancient egypt ) had their own icon , example : the circle of the eagle it would be the year (chinese calendar could be an example of this) also the history of monarch reigns helped to count the time people were living
so what year was the year of Jesus's birth? 1 CE? Dec 25, 1 AD? If an event happed in July 10 of Jesus' birth year what is the date of that event? Thanks . I understand that his birth year should be 4 BC but lets assume that it is correct.
How about weeks , months named after roman gods and deities ? Why didn't they change that ? Why change only BC and AD which nobody knew before , now i know why exactly they changed it. This is not religious neutrality this is hatred for Christianity. If you don't like Gregorian calendar use your own calendar.
Hey, I was wondering, since A.D. is short from Latin why B.C. is short from English? Every language uses different short for before Crist in their native language. Why aren't every one using Latin C.N. ( ante Christum natum)? I just find it very counter intuitive and confusing.
Hi, I know the use of both Latin and English sounds a bit confusing, but we are talking about rules decided centuries ago. If it helps, you can use BCE/CE, which stands for "Before the Common Era" and "Common Era."
Well explained. HOWEVER...BCE / CE is still an arbitrary point on the calendar. So the question then becomes what event or reason for that chosen point? I'm not a religious person, so I don't care about JC but this sounds like politics more than anything else. Why muddy the waters? If it's not broke don't fix it.
I understand your point of view: it sounds hypocrite since the events in time are exactly the same. What is different are just how we call those moments

You left out a pretty important detail. They also invented the calendar that everyone still uses. What is wrong with giving credit to the creators and just keep to the plan. Where have our principles gone? The BCE and CE concept is borderline theft of intellectual property.
I'd like to ask this...let's say in the future we find out there was no god or never was. What would our year be then 4.8 billion two thousand and twenty three??? It goes to show how strong a commitee of ppl can be back in the old days.
@@ExploringArtwithAlessandro Not sure what that means, but no it's not artificial. It marks the point in time before the birth of Christ and after. Whether you are a religious believer or not is irrelevant....that's what it marks.
Lets change Christmas, easter Sunday, thanksgiving and maybe even independence day too while we’re at it. Christmas and and easters thats about Jesus. Thanksgiving was a holiday made by abraham Lincoln (he being named after abraham from the bible) to give thanksgiving to god. Independence day because despite the people gonna say “ separation of church and state” and yet our president and even in court we swear oaths over the bible. Yeah separation of church and state even though god and Christianity is built into a justice system.
Should be: BC, DC, AC, CA, FA, SC Before Christ During Christ After Christ Current Ages Future Ages Second Coming Because why is there a before and after but not a during?
@@ExploringArtwithAlessandro great video I I grew up thinking anno domine stood for after the death of christ . And BC before Christ. And then there was before common Era . And I was like , what the hell is common Era? I thought that meant after the industrial revolution hahahaha. Then I started studying witchcraft and theology and I got into ancient Sumer and I released I was spending more time back before the second temple . So even though I know roughly where things fit in the timeline in my head I wonder why we had so many references for eras. Thanks again.
I am not religious, but I completely agree. Changing things just confuses people for no reason and shrouds the reason for the date term with no gain for doing so.
It’s B.C. stands for “Before Christ,” as in Jesus Christ. It indicates the number of years before the birth of Jesus (although Jesus himself was born in 4 B.C.). A.D. stands for the Latin phrase Anno Domini. That translates to “In the year of our Lord.” It’s used to mark years after the birth of Jesus. B.C.E. is a term idiots use because they what to replace the Christian influence out of everything
Leave it to humans to create a reference point in time that has so many meanings that by the time we read it, nothing makes any real sense. BC to CE to BCE blah, blah, blah. Lets try to keep it simple. Having all of these different points makes absolutely no sense at all.

Because why is there a before and after but not a during?
Because to consider "during" you should count the years Christ was alive and that what make way more complex the calculations
