That BCE business is like nails on a chalkboard.

Then don’t read the article.

Would you be happier if the Jewish archaeologist had used the Hebrew calender instead?

I agree. Chalk board.

Still, I don’t blame an avowedly Hebrew University for using BCE: they’re different from pushy atheists.

It is also quite stupid...it describes the same timeline as BC. BCE (before common era) just tries to take the relevant part out and ignore it without taking out the dates...quite stupid, or is it just evil? Yes, I think it is evil. They have not done the same for the Roman era, or Greek era or any other era that I am aware of...but they did remove Christ by removing BC/AD. So, that does qualify as evil.

“That BCE business is like nails on a chalkboard.”

OK, it was the year 2761 using the correct calendar established by G-d, instead of the pagan Roman calendar.

BCE = "Before the Common Era", "Before the Christian Era", or "Before the Current Era" ... take your pick. I don't see the article defining which you must accept.
