For context, Neil was asked what day of the week it was

[RobertThomas-iojn]

As an agnostic, I always use BC and AD and always will

[alwill]

Neil is so genuine. No motive. Just desires not to be a jerk and follow the science....

[pete]

That's a voice of reason. Too much of life we try to make all or nothing.

[butterfingers]

Not to mention that BCE (Before Common Era) is inaccurate because whatever we call the Common Era is subjective and not objectively revolving around Jesus' time. BC is more accurate.

[MrWillaqui]

As a child, I learned BC as meaning "Before Christ, " and AD means "After Death" of Christ.

[Yorba]

“Scream get crazy” 😂😂😂 joe is really into it

[Fp]

I usually say BCE or CE I never really thought about it I mostly used it because it’s easier to remember things as they happened in the common era or before the common era but honestly I do get what he means

[vader]

in the 1580’s “Mom new calendar just dropped”

[Movieswithsepi]

Actually, the Solar Hijri calendar, also known as the Persian or Iranian calendar, is the most prisice calendar in the world

[hakimDeskjet-xgvm]

As an atheist, i also use bc and ad because bce doesnt even make sense and also to give proper credit

[AlbornozVEVO]

actually, BCE arose precisely in religious studies when it became clear that the archeological evidence points to Jesus of Nazareth being born about 4 years earlier than it is traditionally thought. So they began using BCE because saying Christ was born "4 years before Christ" makes no sense.

[clowngames]

Did he just say most accurate !! ¡!! 🤨

[caspianfolkesson]

In Sweden we use f.k and e.k (before christ and after christ)

[ryangosling]

Hm. In Russia we use "before our era" and "of our era" ("до нашей эры / нашей эры). Never compared that to its English counterpart.

[hni]

keppler came up with that
a protestant theologican(besides other things he is more known for)

[guttralworm]

Ce actually stands for Combat Evolved 🤦‍♂️

[SpeedRacer]

I would start a riot if they try taking God out of my life ooh don't get me started

[kimjong-zn]

And yet they have such a hard time not changing the terms they use while doing yoga😂😂😂

The irony😅

[ceralex_]

It's not that much of a de-religious thing for me. It's just that year 1 is not the accurate time when historical jesus was born, so it is not before or after christ, it's just an arbitrary date
