: The 2000 Is The New Millennium followers have some proof on their side now. You see, In 1740, French astronomer Jacques Cassini instituted the "astronomical
: calendar" to do away with the awkwardness of time calculations using A.D. and B.C. from the Gregorian calendar (our common calendar today).
: So:
: 1 A.D. = year 1 in the astronomical system,
: 1 B.C. = year 0 (yes, year ZERO),
: 2 B.C. = year -1, and so on.

: Which makes this the new century, and the new millennium, based on the astronomical calander, which isn't widely used. Thus making me originally right when saying this was the enw century.

Um, was anybody diputing the validity of a new century? Or an "enw" one for that matter?

Don't know where Wooden Head got the idea I said the millennium was in 2000, but his chart actually showed me how to add 100 to 1, not 2000.

Um, it took you this long to learn the basics? Brave of you to admit that, however, this is the sort of statement that just proves our point about you.

And thus wrong on 2001 being the new millennium, as I previously said.

The third millenium actually started a few years ago, look it up.

Course, since no one saying it's the new millennium is actually using that calander. And taking in the 4 year error anyway, we see that anybody using a calander in use today is wrong, and therefore we really need to learn the Earth's true age, and go from there. Which could throw off everything, since it might not be based on our 365.4### ways.

Um, hello? This thing on?
