This would be a stronger argument for CE/BCE if it was different. To say that this is what the scientific community accepts and so Christians should too, seems to imply that Christians are just using the wrong numbers. But the numbers are the same. Identical. So the scientific community has rejected not the numbers but the label. Many people in the world find the term Christian offensive. Do we change that too? I think not. We should live in a way that honors Christ even on January 10 in the Year of Our Lord 2025.
