We need to move away from the idea that it is 'the 21st Century'.

We need to move away from the outdated idea that 'this is the 21st century'. '2019 A.D' Why is it that this solar year is called '2019'? The answer is that it is an arbitrary number, it actually has very little meaning. The very idea of '2019' is a human creation, forced on us by power struggles, religious bigots and wars. It is merely an expression
of time, one loaded with religious connotations. 2019 - The year of our Lord? What? 'B.C' - 'Before Christ'? What? Fiction. We need to stop using terms like  'b.c' or 'a.d', they are constructs that are not helpful to a rational thinking person. Mythology and folktales as a basis for our timings? 50,000 years 'before present' (B.P) makes much more sense. Or how about using BCE? (Before Current Era).Other countries & cultures have different timescales and calendars, based on equally fictional and flimsy principals. Time for a change.

The Universe is ~13.7 BILLION years old, the Earth 4.6 BILLION and Homo Sapiens arrived through evolution approximately 200,000 years B.P. If you fail to grasp these realities then you are wrong. Many cultures and religions have come and gone before the invention of the major religions that we seem to cling on to today. Different cultures have invented different calendars and it is time that we agree on a global time-scale, one not connected to inaccurate, religious, so-called milestones. Pick a day and start again. We could call it 'Post Enlightenment' (P.E for short). We could start at 0yr P.E today. Year dot. The Awakening.

The Universe, the Solar System, the Earth and Human Beings all exist on a timescale that is not connected to the made up concept of it being '2019' named after fictional events by people with a religion to promote., who barely understood their world  Maybe then we can start to update our 'traditions', making them more suitable to our advancing society.
