Yes, Christ's birth truly changed the world! It affected the calendar: BC "before Christ to anno domini (AD) "in the year of Our Lord" (which even the atheistic Soviet Union's constitution says 1917 A.D. )

After Jesus Christ's coming, abortion and infanticide was ended until "humanism" took hold. After His coming, there became a dignity of labor (Christ was a carpenter) that remains today, and slavery disappeared until the middle ages when ungodly greed took over. In Christ's day 50% of Rome were slaves, until his ministry and afterwards. Then Africa became 75% slaves again until the 1st Great United anti-slavery conference took place, where 2/3 of the attendees were CHRISTIAN MINISTERS.

After Jesus came, hospitals were created. Jesus healed the blind eyes, withered limbs and sick, and lepersariums were created. Orphanages came about after Christ admonished the world to take care of the children!

We, here in the USA, are literate because of Christ. Pilgrims on the Mayflower declared they would establish schools for their children "in order that they might learn to read the Word of God." Among all native born Americans there was less than 1% who could not read and write "neatly." (That would leave many out today. ) The first 123 Universities stated in one way or another "For the glory of God in advancement of the Christian faith." Harvard stated that students must learn to love the Lord Jesus Christ. And people learned because they wanted to read the Word.

Tyranny and depotism are all a part of errant people in many parts of the world. If you visit the Roman Collesium, you will see the massive place where every kind of human cruelty on helpless victims took place. But then Jesus came... now that place is empty..and out in the empty space you see through the columns ... a large cross!
