      But the year 2024 isn’t some sort of religious believe, it’s just that we picked the birth of Jesus as a starting point, and started counting from there. Any point in time could’ve been an epoch, just the current Gregorian calendar is so ingrained that it will be difficult to switch. Or is my understanding about this wrong?
