Calender BC/AD types.

Discuss BC and AD, and make your own types.
Example: 1 AN is 4989 BC in your calender. 7000 AN is 2011 AD. 1 AD in my calender is 2012 AD in other calenders. EDIT: And it's year 101 in the Taiwan offical calender.
Here's a list:
- Mine - Normal
- 1 BN -- 4991 BC (backwards AD, at early times)
- 1 AN -- 4989 BC (same as above)
- BD -- 2010
- 1 AD -- 2012. AD ages go on to 2030.
- 1 IE --- -- 9 September on 1999.
- 2 IE --- --- 2000
- 3 IE --- --- 2038
- 4 IE --- --- 2040
- 5 IE --- --- over 1,000,000...


BN = before flood (13000-14000? BC to 4991 BC)
AN = after flood (4989 BC to 2009) (not including In Error ages)
BD = before death (2010) (not in error)
AD = after death (2012) (not in error)
IE = in error (1999 to over 1,000,000...) (nickname: "Internet Explorer" why: "IE performed magic to knock others out of competition. It's an error itself.") (nickname 2: "Windows Vista" why: "Vista is a problem in itself.")

Other calender talk is allowed. I have a question:
Why doesn't February the 30th exist?

Re: Calender BC/AD types.

They changed to BCE and ACE
(Before and after common era)
Because BC and AD was too religoius.

Re: Calender BC/AD types.

BC is before Christ and AD is not after death as some people think. It's latin and it means after Jesus' birth

But, if Christ existed, I was told he was born on 4 BC.

You were told wrong. Christ was born, and that signaled the end of BC time, and the start of AD time.

I was also told 7 BC.
