Use B.C. because B.C.E. is just Liberals trying to control us in one more way. Also, they are trying to erase Christianity, which, Christian or not, it did play a huge part in our world's history.

Because there is no year "zero" this would be 3999 BC (Before Christ) or BCE (Before the Common Era), but this year [2011] it would be 6000 years ago.
The years between are the years from 249 BC to 1BC, and 1AD to 249AD, ie. 498 years.
Perhaps you are referring to CE (Common Era), which in some circles has replaced AD (in the year of our Lord). If so, then AD 6 would be CE 6. (The more usual forms are 6 AD and 6 CE.) Those who use AD for years after Christ's birth will use BC for years Before Christ. Those who prefer CE will use BCE (before the Common Era) in place of BC. The numbers in the two systems are the same.
AD stands for "Anno Domini," Latin for "year of the Lord." The year in AD is supposedly counted from the birth of Jesus. However, it was a couple of centuries after the time of Jesus that anyone started numbering the years that way, and thee is no guarantee that the actual year was figured out correctly. BC stands for the English phrase "Before Christ." Some countries use initials of the corresponding phrase in their own language; for example France uses AJC for "avant Jesus-Christ."
Hammurabi is a person. King Hammurabi was the sixth ruler of ancient Babylon. He lived from 1818 BC (BCE) to 1750 BC (BCE). BC = Before Christ BCE = Before Common Era BC and BCE refer to the same time period. Use whichever abbreviation your teacher suggests.
BC, which is Before Christ, and BCE, which is Before Common Era, actually refer to the same thing. Years in BC/BCE work in reverse. So 12 BC/BCE came before 5 BC/BCE.
