The term "BC" or "Before Christ" was a retroactive time system put into effect by the Christian Church. It was to centre the human world and all its events around the most significant happening in all of human history, the birth of Christ. The dating system was later proved inaccurate in relation to Christ's actual birth, however, the last year in the "BC" era was 1 BC, which was immediately followed by 1 AD; there was no year zero.
