Year 0?!?!?

Ok guys, i don't wanna make the teacher, but the calendar "AD" start at the year of the DEATH of Jesus, not the day he's born! He's born in 32 BC (following that statement!) sono year "0" dosen't means he wasn't born, but rather that he never died!

You do realise BC means "Before Christ"? So basically you are saying he was born thirty two years before he was born? Anno Domini (AD) means "Year of our Lord" which makes more sense as year of his birth than death. There is no universally accepted date for Jesus' birth, most theories range between seven and four BC.

Well the years, in history, started to be counted from his death. that's how the calendar is based. Now, no one can be sure as, as you said, no oficial teory is out.

Nope, the calculations took his birth as a start. Now, I know wikipedia is frowned upon here, but still:
