: 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).

Utahraptor, I'll give some points here, not on your facts or anything, but that your failure to separate your "thoughts" makes the effort to cull stoopid allmost undesirable.

So:

A needle pulling thread. Who ever said I was uncultured?

: 1 A.D. = year 1 in the astronomical system,
Note 1; I only bother to count the way the rest of the world does so I dont have to attempt to explain anything.

Note 2; A.D. Anno Domini, latin, for the year of the lord, or our lord, or something similar. OK, nor bear with me on this, it requires thinking back quite a long time, or looking up if you still can manage the process. Whos lord? I dont acknowledge one, so I figured counting by his standards might be a little hypocritical. Especially given the people who do actually "know" and acknowledge the term Anno Domini.

: 1 B.C. = year 0 (yes, year ZERO),

This may be hard for you to believe, but people other than you understand what that little circle thing means

: 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.

There was a dissagreement over that?

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.

You needed a chart for that?

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

What we need to do, in reality, is give up on hopeless acts or redemption alltogether. As far as that whole Earth's true age thing, why dont you personally atttempt to date the core. At least it'll keep you buisy for a while. Ya know, get your mind off this buisness of being professionally stoopid.

Which could throw off everything, since it might not be based on our 365.4### ways.

What are the odds?
