Year 0

If humans have lives for thousands of years then who or what decided when the year 0 started? It's only 2009 now and that is not even 100 generations of a family.

The year 0 was when Jesus was allegedly born (should you believe in it)
The Calendar is based on that

Time existed before then

Is this a serious question?
