Fool, when you start counting do you start with 0?
In computer science you do
They didn't have computers or even much Science when the year was invented.

First, you are using old terms. The modern terms are B.C.E and A.C. Which means, before common era and after common era.
BCE and CE*...
OP - for the same reason that Jesus was born in 3BC: Pope Gregory was an idiot.

It's literally possible for two sets of terminology to both be correct.
How do you figure?
Well, bigger and larger for example.
The numeral 0 was invented by the Arabs, and they weren't into big religion just yet. They weren't gonna tolerate it being appropriated for some imperial roman mind-control scheme.

You are correct...0 falls in between -1 and 1...in general counting.
Regarding years, however, there's a difference. Try a search on the web...there's some good articles about the "logic" you want to understand.
https://www.timeanddate.com/counters/mil2000.html-- for example.
Extract:
"...neither the number zero, nor even the concept of nothingness, existed in 6th century Europe when a monk named Dionysius Exiguus came up with anno domini, the year numbering system (calendar era) we use today."
That article also indicated there is no Roman numeral for zero; Dionysius used Roman numerals when numbering calendar years.
-1 is the year before Christ was born. 1 is the year He was born (AD = Anno Domini = Latin for " year of the Lord").
Yes, it has to do with the Savior of the World!!!

I was so confused at first and now it does make sense to me. just like how the 20th century is from 1900-2000 but doesn’t start at 2000 because the 1st century goes from 1AD to 100AD starting at the first year to year 100

Almost. Since there is no year 0, the first century is from 1 to 101... the 20th century didn't start until 2001, so I hope none of you had a big party or anything on New Year's that evening... what a waste THAT woulda been...
