The archaic terms "AD" and "BC," referring to our centralized calendar system, originated as another control device of the church. People needed to be productive, and couldn't do it at the time without a way of tying it in with religion (specifically Christianity). Therefore, "BC," for "Before Christ," and "AD," for "Ano Domini," Latin for "In the year of our Lord." Such measurements have now been changed, as modern society is based on science rather than religion.
