Well, I'm not sure about the million million question, I thought everyone agreed on that (?), but BCE and CE are designations, not new calendars.  From the articles I've read (after the start of his great thread), there have been a number of different designations for the roughly same starting point in time.  We're not talking about changing anything about what year or month or day it is.

I enjoy the informative posts and thank the lot of you.

Best Wishes,
