Fantastic historical video of how our calendar should be the year 12,000's

[CyberCubed]

Its just weird to me the entire world accepted a calendar where we're only in the 2,000's. Meanwhile the Jewish calendar is in the year 5,000 from what I read.

Meanwhile we're really in the year 12,000. Or even 100,000-200,000 if you count "Year 1" as when humans existed.

So you're saying you don't accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, HUH?

I think the Jewish calendar is actually on year 6000. But I could be wrong on that... I eat bacon, after all.

And do we really want to track the 5000 years of Neanderthal history where some hairy schmuck couldn't even figure out the wheel? Buncha stupid man-apes.

I remember Calvin on a strip saying USA was founded on a b.C: year, which led his teacher to ask him "b.C?!" and him saying "before Calvin".

The Hebrew calendar has this year listed as 5777, while the Hijiri/Islamic calendar is year 1438.

Or so says the internet.

When it comes to calendars, I've always been rather partial to this:

"Current theories on the creation of the Universe state that, if it was created at all and didn't just start, as it were, unofficially, it came into being between ten and twenty thousand million years ago. By the same token the earth itself is generally supposed to be about four and a half thousand million years old.
These dates are incorrect.
Medieval Jewish scholars put the date of the Creation at 3760 B.C. Greek Orthodox theologians put Creation as far back as 5508 B.C.
These suggestions are also incorrect.
Archbishop James Usher (1580-1656) published Annales Veteris et Novi Testamenti in 1654, which suggested that the Heaven and the Earth were created in 4004 B.C. One of his aides took the calculation further, and was able to announce triumphantly that the Earth was created on Sunday the 21th of October, 4004 B.C., at exactly 9:00 A.M., because God liked to get work done early in the morning while he was feeling fresh.
This too was incorrect. By almost a quarter of an hour."

DO we have any Jews or Muslims in this forum? We must know this.

Yes yes yes. You are both officially awarded the Cylons Ruby Star of Excellence for your knowledge and love of Calvin & Hobbes. Wear your badges proudly.

Yes, but it doesn't mean Jewish people know anything about the Jewish calendar if they don't practice the religion heavily.

True, but they're statistically more likely to know about it than you and I do.

One need not practice the religion to know what year it is.
One need only be culturally away.

Yeah CyrberCubed, you're a f*cking New Yorker. You must have Jewish friends and acquaintances, right?

I don't know anything about the Jewish calendar but I'm well aware what its like to be Jewish.

Well, considering most Jews who lived in my country were pogrommed by the Inquisition and such hundreds of year ago, I don't know a single one. There's probably less than a thousand Jews in my entire country.

So, do most Jewish Americans not care much about their religion nowadays? Even less than Christian ones?

Nope.

There are a lot of religious Jews in New York, or rather Queens where I live. Many of them are also Russian.

Yes, I see them go to temple every Saturday. There's also a lot of Jewish areas/temples around my area.

I mean I've never gone inside a Jewish temple since I was like..13, but what do I know.

I visited a Synagogue once. I was a kid, so they let me keep my sports cap on, since you gotta cover your head inside one.

I've worn a yamaka a few times, also had to wear it to weddings of some my distance relatives. I don't think I've worn one since I was a young teen. Its really weird to be part of a family that doesn't practice the religion heavily.

My family has never celebrated Christmas, but I do like the pretty lights.

So you're part Jewish, eh? Is it true what they say about you guys controlling everything?
