We live in 2013 a.d. Which means we live 2013 years after Christ's death.

b.c. means before Christ, and it does kinda go backwards. When Didyme was born, she was born 1300 bc - which means she was born 1,300 years before Christ. She lived for 300 years which means she lived until 1,000 years before Christ. Which means she lived around 300 years.

So b.c. is like a countdown until Chirst and goes backwards. Once Christ was born and then died, the count then goes forward. So we're currently living around 2013 years after Christ died.
