"The Motivation is whatever it is but the science is good" pretty much the entire human race can't argue this one.

[MrKonquer]

He’s basically saying the scientific community wants to remove BC and AD because the Catholic Church founded and did the math for the most accurate calendar and swap it to BCE and CE, but he’s defending the Catholic Churches naming of the eras of the calendar because they applied the right scientific principles too it and therefore they can name their invention what ever they want because they put the work in and got it right, I hope I got it right.

He was talking about BC and AD vs BCE and CE.

The complete rules for Leap Day is (from wikipedia):
"Every year that is exactly divisible by four is a leap year, except for years that are exactly divisible by 100, but these centurial years are leap years if they are exactly divisible by 400. For example, the years 1700, 1800, and 1900 are not leap years, but the years 1600 and 2000 are."

This clip didn't do any justice to what Neil was actually talking about

BC and AD for me, I grew up with that and
it's annoying when things get changed for
whatever reason.

The person born on the 29th February, 2000 would eventually become the Emperor of Mankind

[vinitsingh]

That's why year 2100 will not be a leap year

[crypticutopia]

POV: Neil was asked if he's having a good year so far

[williamthomas]

A Leap Year occurs every four years unless it is divisible by 100. Those years are not Leap Years unless they are also divisible by 400. That is why in the chart above 1900, 2100, 2200, 2300 are not Leap Years but 2000 and 2400 are Leap Years. This has been going on a long time.

For context, Joe asked him; “what date is today?”

[Okay-prfp]

I’ve always used BC and AD, it’s just easier to remember and no need to change it

Hindu calender is adjust for correct time...24 hr 15 mins it a solar calendar.. it doesn't need leap year..most of other world would use lunar calendar..thus discrepancies

My dad used to say, "It is what it is, & just wishing for something don't make it so !" 😂 He was born in 1919, survived in WWII, raised a family of 7, and was a good man . Rest in peace Dad .😅😊🤗❤ 🏖Kj in Tampa Bay 👨‍👧

[jhgeji]

My math teacher said the year 2000 wasn’t a leap year! I’ve been lied to!

[bigpete]

I love this dude. He doesnt believe in god but he doesnt want to take god out of everything. Real respect....

[Abhijeetraurale]

Remember folks science is not the enemy of the religion. It is just an independent ideology and we should be thankful to science 😎😎😎😎

[bennybenicasa]

Pope Gregory's engineers were fine-tuning things.

[tassymccormick]

For context, Neil was asked what time it was

[FLANG]

A much smarter calendar would be 13 months of 28 days. Add 1 day each December for 365 days. Add 2 days every leap year.
