Who decided that decades start at xxx0 even though centuries start at xx01? What were they smoking? Are there only 9 years in the first decade of the gregorian calendar?

Why is that an issue?Please see this- Start to Jan 01 - 1st year complete Jan 01 to Jan 02 - 2nd year complete Jan 02 to Jan 03 - 3rd year complete .... ... Jan 09 to Jan 10 - 10th year/decade complete or start of 1st decade. Similarly Jan 2020 is start of 202th decade.

One correction- End of 1st decade here. Jan 09 to Jan 10 - 10th year/decade complete or end of 1st decade or start of 2nd decade.

The gregorian calendar starts at year 1. So "Start to Jan 01" is an empty interval, not a year.

Hmm! I didnt knew that first year of birth of jesus is 1AD and “start to jan1” is actually 1 BC in Anno Domini system. Thanks for the enlightenment. But in astronomical year numbering current year being start of decade makes sense.

Plot twist: Even if there would have been a historical Jesus (which is extremely unlikely but that doesn't fit in a tweet :), he couldn't have been born at the start of the gregorian calendar.

I can't believe I'm discussing scripture now but both Mathew and Luke have Jesus born under king Herod I (aka Herod the Great), and Herod I died 4 BCE.
