"I'll give you a hint: They don't think it was the year 0 anymore. "
Where did they get a different date from if the world has been keeping track of his birth ever since he was born?
NVS...you're an idiot. first of all the whole world has not been keeping track since J.C's birth...christians have. what year is it in china right now? what he is saying about the yard stick makes perfect sense. we use a measurement so much that it has become a standard. same thing with the year, since every once doesn't want to be late for thier final exam, they all agree that today is 4/29/03 or whatever the date may be. who cares that it is AD...there was B.C. before it. the idea that people using it proves God's existence is a fualty one, what if i changed it so that is was B.W.C.( before wushu_civic) and A.W.C.(after wushu_civic), people might use this as a standerd, but it only proves i was here not who i am. sorry for such a long rant, and i think i should mention that i do believe in GOD, and i am a christian. i just don't agree with your arguement. i think that people should realize that it is entirely possible that GOD created evolution. by saying that evolution is impossible is saying that GOD can't do something.
