obviously they didn't know our lord Jesus would come into the world yet, so how did everyone tell what day or year it was? and if months like july and august are named after Roman emperors what did they call them before those emperors are born? and what did they do in cool places like ancient China? makes you think

The A.D. terminology was coined five hundred years after the death of Jesus, assuming he actually existed. One thousand years later a pope incorporated it into the calendar he introduced, the Gregorian calendar which we still use today.

One thousand years later a pope incorporated it into the calendar he introduced, the Gregorian calendar which we still use today. Actually the Gregorian calendar was created to set in order the year according to the Julian calendar with the astronomic year since there was an 11 minute delay added yearly between the two. So the Gregorian calendar regulated the spring equinox with the phase of the moon used for determining the Easter celebration. There are some backwater Christians that still use the old style and that sets the bar on how backwater can a Christian get.
