The Book Of Numbers CQC

A.D.  stands  tor Anno  Domini which means "ln the  year of Our Lord"' but  by starting  at 1, the calendar is incorrectly celebrating  the first  birthday  of Christ  on the day he was  born.  On 2 A D , Christ was 1 year old' On 3 A.D.  he was 2 (ln fact the calendar is probably much more inaccurate than this' for according to Matthew  2, King Herod  was  alive when  Jesus was born, and historical  records show that Herod died in 4 B C' according to our calendar.)  So our calendar is in a bit of a mess.

This reminds me of how schools don't teach how Christopher Columbus tortured natives during his travels. It's like ignoring that a microwave doesn't actually heat up your food and not fixing it... well not really. But it's interesting how we don't change things when we know they're wrong. It's like running from the truth, and we have to face the truth to make progress. I'm probably talking crazy but if we fixed mathematical fallacies like our calendar I think it would incline children to think more mathematically and break that dislike for math many of the students in America have.
