I caught 3 fish today.
What is a “Common Era”?
What triggered this Common Era?
If you side with ignorance, you must explain their ignorance.
What you're doing, by bringing it up, is engaging in troll behavior.
Why does an olive grove need an emergency excavation?
Not enough fiber in the diet?
That is one family tree it's better to not climb. :^)
:^)
Since then, a dig outside of Rome found a rubbish tip filled with Minoan Tourister luggage!
I love olives and wish I could grow them without a big ordeal involved.
The tomb is fascinating and thank you, but I cannot help but wonder why an olive grove had an emergency!
It's a great find. The box looks ceramic, but we'll find out in subsequent coverage.
CE means Christ Era
BCE means Before Christ Era
The atheists totally errored on their modification. Next time use something more obscure like ZX/FKZ.
That ain’t no troll.
ANSWER THE QUESTION.
You cannot.
What is a Common Era? It can only be defined by an event. That event is Christ. Therefore, AD/BC is more valid.
What event defines BCE? Answer the question. Don’t censor expression or burn books.
BCE is doubly in error because it did not rectify the 4 year gap error. So CE/BCE retains the same date errors.
Stick this back in the Professors’ faces for choosing collectivism over science.
I agree with your sentiment, but you’re in error here.
B.C.E. does not stand for “Before Christ Era”. It stands for “Before the Common Era”. C.E. stands for “Common Era”.
Obviously what made the era “Common” was the Church, and that was founded by Christ, but the “C” stands for “Common” and not “Christ”.
This is the real reason secularists hate the terms, with the cover story that it is offensive to Jews and others who may not believe in Christ. Most practicing Jews I know are OK with it. Secular Jews, not so much.
Progress.
Now why was AD CE changed since they are identical?
If Jewish scientists wanted their calendar, they would call it AM/BM, After Moses or Before Moses.
Same with Muhammhed or Buddha.
If Atheists want a calendar, pivot around a star event, a supernova, because defining the modern era is tricky.
Conservatives keep saying they must grab the popular culture from the collectivists.
When I do grab the culture, by calling CE the Christ Era, it is the Conservatives who piss on me. Hypocrites.
But do not piss on people, and say it is raining.
CE is the Christ Era pivoted around the Christ event.
I took the culture back.
So, put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Of course it's troll behavior. Of course it's a troll. That makes you a troll. Sod off, stupid!
This is the year 5778 on the Jewish calendar, marking the years since the putative date of the creation of the universe.
So you wish to appease Secular Jews who vote 90% Communist Democrat. That does not take the culture back from the collectivists.
The modern era is highlighted by discoveries of metals and their processing. Metal raised us out of poverty. It is the periodic table of elements.
Christ occurred at the same time as metals processing.
Metals are not an event.
Christ is an event.
You heard it here first folks.
That is the secular explanation why Christ is the event, and not Moses or a supernova.
But doubly, Christ ushered an era of liberty, and hence progress.
You will not get that explanation at the University College of State Collectivists because Academics are conformists not scientists.
Take your culture back. Now. :-)
Now that makes sense. Thanks.
By "you" I presume you mean those who advocate the change of use to CE and BCE and are not referring to me personally. I do not endorse the change, I'm am simply sharing the reasons behind why people who DO endorse this change are doing so.
“Now why was AD CE changed since they are identical?”
They are not identical except in era referred to. One means Year of the Lord - and is a clear Christian reference. The other is a reference to the same time frame, but has no explicit Christian reference. I think it’s obvious why the older system was dropped - people who were not Christians wanted to get away from a system that was explicitly Christian.
“If Jewish scientists wanted their calendar, they would call it AM/BM, After Moses or Before Moses.”
Jews have a calendar. I believe the current year according to the Jewish calendar is 5778. I do not believe it has anything at all do with “After Moses or Before Moses”.
“Same with Muhammhed”
Muslims have their own calendar. It is not “After Muhammad or Before Muhammad”. It is based upon the date of the Hegira. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hegira
“or Buddha.”
I have no idea if there is a Buddhist calendar.
“When I do grab the culture, by calling CE the Christ Era, it is the Conservatives who piss on me. Hypocrites.”
Well, maybe the problem is that you’re literally not using the correct term. Being wrong about something factual does not suddenly make you right as a Conservative. CE means Common Era. It does not mean Christ Era. Facts are stubborn things.
“CE is the Christ Era pivoted around the Christ event.”
No. CE is Common Era. Yes, it is based on Christ’s birth but that is not all there is to the “Christ event” which lasted 33 years on Earth. Again, facts are stubborn things.
“I took the culture back.”
No, you really didn’t. You did embarrass yourself, however.
“So, put that in your pipe and smoke it.”
I don’t smoke. And you don’t think very clearly.
LOL!
