I saved that video to watch.
I've heard of the event through some geology channels that I watched. This looked very comprehensive. I'm excited to watch it, I just haven't carved out the time. ETA: I also want to read/watch about the Maunder Minimum & "Little Ice Age." |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Seems like a more accurate term to me. The numbering system has changed before, no reason it can't change again. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: What if you're a Muslim, or Jewish, or one of the tons of other religions that don't use Christ as a date marker? It is a standard part of western civilization. Those groups in the west have had no issue using the terms, until recently as both of them recognize Christ was an actual person. Seems like a more accurate term to me. The numbering system has changed before, no reason it can't change again. The Anno Domini dating system was devised in 525 by Dionysius Exiguus to enumerate years in his Easter table. His system was to replace the Diocletian era that had been used in older Easter tables, as he did not wish to continue the memory of a tyrant who persecuted Christians Except they didn't change the system, they just changed the labels. See the above 4-panel, which adequately mocks this change. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: BCE=Before Common Era CE=Common Era These were used to replace BC/AD, Before Christ and Anno Domini (in the year of the Lord) by antitheists. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: BCE and CE don’t refer to ‘Christ Era’? On a related note wonder if this event helped fuel the Viking age. A theory is that there was global cooling that took place that turned the Scandinavian countries colder. The change in climate made the land unable to support the population so people turned viking in order to survive. BCE=Before Common Era CE=Common Era These were used to replace BC/AD, Before Christ and Anno Domini (in the year of the Lord) by antitheists. Thatbks for rhe explanation. I will continue using bc and ad as before. I will also avoid caps to upset the grammar nazis |

Quote HistoryQuoted: There was a huge kill off of early humans where only one small population was left. A huge amount of human genetic diversity was lost. Yep, the yunger dryas die off. Humanity nearly was snuffed out. Makes me wonder what civilizations were killed in the cradle, especially as archeology continues to find evidence of ancient meeting places and temples like Gobekli Tepe, which seems to substantially predate Sumeria based on some estimates. Kek, the "thing"... wonder what it was? |

Not only did 536 usher-in the Dark Ages but there was a volcanic event 2000 years before that, the gave us the Passover, the plagues on Egypt and the Exodus stories. It happened on the island of Santorini in the south of Greece around 1620-1600 BCE.
Sooo, roughly 2000 years prior to 536. And there will be another. We're actually overdo. If the Yellowstone caldera were to blow, for instance, it would mean a total reset of North America. The last time it happened it was a big deal and, in theory, it is why North America was unsettled by any form of primates, until humans reestablished here some 12,000 years ago or so. |

Islam has its own calendar (1444 AH is the current year in their calendar). As far as the Jews go, Jesus was their King sent by God. It would be strange for them not to use BC and AD. BCE and CE are atheist creations, and I support the appropriation of those acronyms to become Before Christ's Era and Christ's Era. |

Look around and note all the decay of basic services..medical care...ect.
Bible points to a future where close to the end 1/3rd of humanity will die...in fact it says that outside of the Return of The King...all humanity would die. How many modified virus / botched vaccines until the entire world is a wasteland of medical disasters? Not to mention war and open conflict. Buckle and and find peace in Jesus no matter what point of history you live in. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It's kind of astonishing we've survived as a species at all when you really think about it. Could have been a pinch point which allowed certain families and organizations to do a power grab then hide it. There's a lot of missing documentation between 100 and 800 AD, we know lots more about stuff before and after those days than we do about how that shook out. --ETA: To the "AD or CE who cares?" people -If it doesn't matter, why would they be trying to change it? Along with thousands of other abbreviations and sex pronouns. Same way their cure for racism is apartheid, they think "freedom of religion means freedom from religion" and they're hell bent on removing the moral blockages to their final solutions. |
