There is no conversion involved-BCE and CE are simply secular euphemisms (replacements) for the religiously-associated BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini).Here is how years would be expressed in BC, AD, BCE and CE:September 22, 2010 AD (today's date)September 22, 2010 CE (today's date)January 1, 44 BCJanuary 1, 44 BCE
It was 1939-1945 AD.
CE - the common era ie - a different way of saying AD
The term CE stands for Common Era, it takes the place of AD. The term BCE means Before Common Era and takes the place of BC. A politically correct term as the entire world is not Christian and AD and BC have Christian connotations.
CE is Common Era, it's the same thing as AD (Anno Domini) BCE is also used instead of BC We are in the year 2009 AD and 2009 CE.

Major Religions (that still exist in some form): Hinduism - 2000 BC Judaism - 1500 BC Zoroaster - 620 BC Janism - 600 BC Taoism - 580 BC Confusious - 550 BC Buddhism - 524 BC Christianity - 30 AD Shinto - 100 AD Islam - 570 AD Sikhism - 1530 AD Baha'u'llah - 1890 AD These are all approximate dates (especially pre-Christian) and hotly disputed, bnu the chronology is pretty much right. When does a religion start? On the birth of the "holy man"? With his/her first convert? After death? First "church"? See, it can be difficult to pin a tail on such a donkey.
BC means before Christ and AD stands for Anno Domini (year of the lord). BC is before the birth of Christ and AD are the years after the birth. People often use BC as Before the Common era and CE for Common Era (CE). Not all people are christian.
CE - the common era ie - a different way of saying AD
Theoretically they are the same, ie just change the CE to AD However, everyone seem to say that 2000 CE was the start of the 3rd millennium CE and so held big celebrations at the start of that year. If this is so, then the second millennium CE started 1000 CE and the first started 0 CE. But 1 BC was followed by 1 AD - there was no 0 AD - as when Dionysius Exiguus devised the BC/AD system in the year we now call 531 AD zero had not been invented: it was not invented for about another 400 years, coming to Europe about 600 years after the AD/BC designation was devised. As such the 3rd millennium AD started in 2001 AD. The alternative is that the start of the 3rd millennium CE "celebrations" were actually a year early (and that the politicians who decided this can't actually count or don't know history/the calendar...) and that CE dates are AD dates, just under another name to try to appease though who may be offended by the Latin term Anno Domini - Year of the Lord, where the Lord in question is the Christian faith's Jesus Christ.
AD = CE or Common Era or Christian Era BC = BCE or Before Common Era or Before Christian Era
The term CE stands for Common Era, it takes the place of AD. The term BCE means Before Common Era and takes the place of BC. A politically correct term as the entire world is not Christian and AD and BC have Christian connotations.

Prophet Muhammad was born in 570 AD. So! that makes it more than 5 centuries after Jesus.Additional Answer:Most religious scholars now agree that Jesus was born at the end of the 1st Century BC or BCE - about 4-5 BC. Many believe Mohammed was born about 570 CE or AD. So if we note the timeline of 1st Century BC to the 6th Century AD, we have approximately 6 Centuries or 575 years between births. Many scholars now put the death of Christ at Spring, 31 AD which makes His death to Mohammed's birth about 539 years.
