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?

Well, we could replace it with dendrochronological (tree ring) dates, which can go back over 10,000 years. Given that the US is still not using the metric system, I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for a change.
