Best Answer

No. Answer:

BC (Before Christ) is now often referred to as BCE(Before the Common Era) and AD (Anno Domini - Year of the Lord) is often referred to as CE (Common Era)

Many folks believe there is a year zero, there is however no truth to this. 1 BCE is followed by 1 CE.

The system of counting to and from the data about 2000 years back was an artifice of Christianity. The strangest concept that arises in some peoples minds is that people living long ago counted down every New Year's Eve - getting closer to "something"

There were no years at all between BC and AD. 1BC was immediately followed by 1AD. There was not even a year zero. Some think there was a year zero between BC and AD; others think there were 33 years between BC and AD, but neither of these are correct. BC is Before Christ. AD is not After Death, but Anno Domini, meaning the Year of Our Lord. So you had up to the time he was born, and from when he was born onwards, with nothing between them.
