When was Jesus born?

BIBLE HISTORY DAILY: When Was Jesus Born—B.C. or A.D.? (Megan Sauter).

This is an old one that I've linked to before, but it's good to return to the topic from time to time. There is a lot of confusion about it.

See also here, concerning a Bible and Interpretation essay by Robert Cargill. The essay link has rotted, but I have some of my own comments there.

I mostly use CE/BCE, rather than AD/BC, since the former is academically more neutral. But I don't care what other people do.

This also gives me the chance to double down about the metric system, which is made for robots 🤖 not humans.
