When I google Agenda 30 to try and work out what you're rambling about, I hit the UN's sustainable development goals. That appears to be a list of things like "Clean drinking water, economic growth, quality education" that they think it would be nice for the world to have. Given the UN has basically zero power to do anything, and gets ignored by all countries pretty much constantly, I suspect their list of goals will have zero effect in practice.
But, for the record, was it the good education part of those goals that you're against?
In fact, I would describe government is part of the natural order, built into the created order. Blame the Creator?

So 1 bc was the year before his birth, and 1 ad was the year after his death. Jesus' ministry was in the unrecorded gap. ?
This is the first time I've ever heard anyone say they thought the years of Christ's life were undated. Out of curiosity, where did you hear this?Curiosity never hurt anyone. It was stupidity that killed the cat.

Originally posted by QuantaFille View PostA.D. doesn't mean After Death, it means Anno Domini, i.e. The Year of the Lord, i.e. after Christ's birth.

I consider all of those dates rather fuzzy anyway, especially with the calendar changes since then. But since the dates of Christ's ministry were backdated some time later, I don't see them as being very reliable.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostI have a hard enough time with date math relative to my own age, birthday, or anniversary!!!
But only going back just a few hundred years, dates get rather muddled. Like if asked when George Washington was born, people will say February 22, 1732. But his actual birth date - the date acknowledged at the time he was born - was February 11, 1731 (being amended later for the new calendar). So which date was he actually born on? It depends on the reference. And (IMO) the further back you go the more squishy it gets.

I'm thinking they'll ask for verification these days.
