I understand what each one means. As well as BCE and CE. But I’m wondering why did we feel the need the number the years according to Jesus’ supposed birthday. And if it was so flawed (nobody even knows if Jesus was real, let alone when his birthday was) why did we keep it going? Could you imagine what year we could be in right now if we counted them normally?

So… What year do you think it is if we count them “normally”?
And keep in mind that this is an official calendar used by pretty much everyone, so everyone has to agree on what number it is. It’s not really feasible for my calendar to have “230,246” and yours has “230,248” because we have differing opinions on when that particular event occurred.
