BC Before Christ
AD started with the birth of Christ.
Today's date is 2006 AD. It's been 2006 years since Jesus was born.
The answer Anno Domini was right. It's not BS. Those are the Latin words that AD comes from.

Anno Domini, Latin for Year of our Lord. Similarly, BC means Before Christ. Non-religious equivalents are available: CE and BCE, for Common Era and Before Common Era.

Anno Domini is latin for: "In the year of (Our) Lord"). But it refers to the time after Christ's birth.

It's Latin for Anno Domini "The Year of our Lord"
It does correspond in Western calendars to the birth of Jesus Christ. This is why "B.C. " is Before Christ.
