What are the full forms of 'AD' and 'BC'?
Anno Domini (abbreviated as AD or A.D., sometimes found in the form Anno Domine) and Before Christ (abbreviated as BC or B.C.) are designations used to label or numbers ears in the Julian and Gregorina Calendars. The BC/AD dating system was devised by medieval monks and based on an estimate of Jesus's birth year. This estimate has later proven to be off by about six years. The more recent BCE/CE dating system ("Before the Current Era" and "Current Era," respectively) is simply the BC/AD dating system relabeled to remove religious references.
Why is the bc and ad dating system controversial?
BC stands for before christ, since not many people are Christians, people do not like it that it mentions Christ, ad is also something related to god, but I don't remember
Why do non-Christians object to using the AD BC system of dating?
Assuming you know what AD and BC stand for, The objection is because these acronyms acknowledge Jesus and refer to him as lord (domini) and messiah/anointed (Christ).
How does the time flow when using BC and AD?
BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini, Latin for "in the year of our Lord") represent a system of dating that counts years backward from the estimated birth year of Jesus Christ for BC and forward for AD. Time flows in reverse for BC, with 1 BC immediately preceding AD 1; there is no year zero in this system. Thus, the timeline transitions directly from 1 BC to AD 1, marking the division between the two eras. This system is widely used in the Gregorian calendar, which is the most common calendar today.
What is exact period of the Before Christ and when the after death was started?
According to Wikipedia, there is no year "0" ("Zero"). So the dateline would look like the following: ..., 4 BC, 3 BC, 2 BC, 1 BC, 1 AD, 2 AD, 3 AD, 4 BC, ... "BC" stands for "Before Christ" "AD" stands for "Anno Domini" which is Medieval Latin, translated as "In the year of the Lord", it does not stand for "After Death". The Anno Domini dating system was devised in 525 AD by Dionysius Exiguus.
What does lv bc mean in roman times?
In the Roman numeral system, lv stands for 55, as l = 50 and v - 5. The BC is a relatively modern addition to the dating system and stands for "before Christ" The expression "roman times" tends to refer to the days of the Roman Empire. And as the use of BC/AD was not introduced until AD 525, they would not have written lv bc.

Who discovered Bc first?
The concept of "Bc" could refer to "Before Christ," which is a system of dating used to label years before the estimated birth year of Jesus Christ. This system was developed by the monk Dionysius Exiguus in the 6th century AD. If you meant something else by "Bc," please provide more context for a more accurate answer.
When did the time AD start?
The beginning of the year AD 1 immediately followed the end of the year 1 BC. However at that time the BC/AD dating system did not exist, by the Roman calendar in use at the time 1 BC was the year 753 and AD 1 was the year 754. The BC/AD dating system was devised in AD 525, but was not widely used until after AD 800. As originally intended Jesus Christ was supposed to have been born sometime in the year AD 1, but due to misconceptions and unreliable information on the time period (not surprising as his family was insignificant common people of whom official secular records were not kept and all Jewish Temple genealogical records had been burned by the Romans in AD 70), modern calculations estimate that Jesus Christ must have been born in 4 BC or earlier.
