As I said, I still don't see the need for the BCE/CE calender.  As I said before dates chosen for starting points, particularly within an atheistic/agnostic frame will be arbitrary at best.  I mean what makes one year zero (or 1) better than the next?  I mean at least the Christians and Jews and other religions have something signifigant to their fundemental beliefs to base it on.  

From a big bang theory, we can't even specify the exact date of the universe's creation so we'll never have a kelven scale until we do.  Years based on earth cycles will be scientifically meaningless (but not historically or religiously meaningless) once we start living on other planets and Earth stops being the political center of humanity. 

To put it simply for the BCE/CE proponents: your reference point sucks to everyone who doesn't agree with you.  I mean why should a few scientists who are stuck in a lab or a few politicans who should be stuck in jail get to decide that sort of thing?

As I said before, time is all relative and we are going to end up using a "trade time" anyways.  Since we have one and it is possible to be tweaked creating a new one for the point of having a new one with a new reference point is imprudent and a waste of time and energy.

WARK!
