The calendar doesn't use a year designated "0" (zero) for the same reason that a month does not start with the zeroth day. The calendar designates the first year as year 1 and the year before that as 1 BC.

That Jesus is historical is beyond dispute, except for a few very recent extremist atheists. But you'll not find a serious historian who believes this.
