Comments?

I have one.

It's really a disgrace that we have these kinds of stuff in 21st century. It would be understandable if this was happening in madieval times. But today? Even a true christian would know this is nonsence. Once a child goes through ritual of baptizing, he\she is a child of god. So much for modern society *roles eyes*

Now don't tell me you belive in this stuff?

We did not "create" Time = Time is the 4th dimension. We have "labeled" Time, and wrongly so, of course.

The year 2006 is all based on the Christ's birth, which has been shown to be unknown and that the early Church merely superimposed their own holidays over pagan ones to gain easier acceptance with them, so the whole June 6th, 3006 thing is relative.

But time has existed irregardless of us. Ameoba's turned to jellyfish to fish which crawled to land which turned to lizards into dinosaurs which became extinct but the small land mammals survived ... long before humans. Everything on this planet (in this universe?) ages, even rocks. So don't overburden yourself with guilt thinking that men created time, we merely noticed it going by and in our usual frantic control freak way, had to label it.

Time marches on - oblivious.

====================

And I think the 6/6/06 article may be reactionary to the new The Omen film - which I watched the trailer for, and what I liked about it was that Mia Farrow (Rosemary's Baby) is the child's nurse. Other than that, I see no need for this again. But each new generation must scare itself I guess.

Wrong.

The AD years are based on the year of Christs DEATH not BIRTH. The year is known, 34ad. Origionally it was thought to be 30ad but the monk who calulated it was off by four years. Or was it the other way around...

Anyway, these dates have been corroborated (big word bad spelling sowwy) through several ancient writings, Jewish, Roman and Greek among others...

And the early Church did not merely impose their holidays over pagan ones, but I know we are not supposed to discuss religion here lol, so just my 2c and hoping to avoid a flame war...
