- Jesus Christ is born.
- The first census is concluded in China after having begun the year before: final numbers show a population of nearly 60 million in slightly more than 12 million households. The census is one of the most accurate surveys in Chinese history.
- The rule of the Roman Emperor Augustus is renewed for a ten-year period.
- Nicolaus of Damascus, a Greek historian and philosopher, writes the History of the World in 144 books, of which extensive fragments of the first seven books are preserved in quotation in the Constantinian Excerpts.
- Paul the Apostle, writer of much of the New Testament, is born
- Augustus has a busy year. There's a catastrophic fire in Rome; he creates the barracks system vigiles. There's a food shortage; he doubles the people's grain rations, sends away his slaves, and forces the senate into indefinite recess. He sets up a treasury
- The fact that the things of our everyday experience are composite, eventually leads to the conclusion that God exists.
- (A thing is composite if it is composed of more than one distinct part.)
- A composite thing exists at any moment only insofar as its parts are combined at that moment.
- This composition of parts requires a concurrent cause. (It requires some outside thing or things to cause the parts to be combined.)
- So, any composite thing has a cause of its existence at any moment during which it exists.
- So, each of the things of our experience has a cause at any moment during which it exists. (Everything we see is being caused as we see it)

The next morning, Daniel helped with some chores, ate breakfast, helped with some more chores, and then borrowed a cart from Prenn to go pick up and deliver his charcoal. The cart was kind of a pain to pull through the brush of the forest, so it was with much noise and swearing and sweating that he finally arrived in the clearing with his charcoal mound. As he released the cart and squatted down for a breather, an arrow sailed through the air where his head has just been. Daniel jerked his head around to see where the arrow came from. Three little green men stepped out from the trees. Two were holding wicked looking knives, and one was reloading his bow. Daniel raised his hands in surrender.
