“Sad to see another thoughtless comment about the use of CE in an article sourced in the world’s only Jewish country.”

Falconspeed, I concur with your comment.

SunkenCiv, the comment wasn’t ‘thoughtless.’ Falconspeed correctly identified a common trait used today by many writers/bloggers who wish to remove a system of time identification to suit their own purpose.

The source of the article is not being called in question by Falconspeed, nor is the overall information; simply the time identification being used.

To insult one simply because of such a disagreement is below your normally finely tuned standards.

No, he didn't. The use of CE and BCE are not universally used, but have been around for about two centuries, and reflect a growing scientific community among the substantial non-Christian populations.

FreeRepublic has a fine, large Religion forum, there's even a dedicated moderator to keep the sectarian turmoil under some restraint. That's a great place to regurgitate the same tired old crap comment that has been appeared in probably thousands of history, archaeology, and science topics.

The only insults in the topic are Falconspeed's and yours. Neither of you have any interest in science, you're just trolling in this topic as so many other trolls do, trying to spread your sectarian turmoil.

Well, yeah. I doubt that anyone would expect a Jewish-sourced article to use the initials of the full meaning "Before Christ" (Messiah) or "Anno Domine" (Year of our Lord). Eh?
