Is The World Really Supposed To End On May 21st? I Find It Hard To Believe….?

From what I've heard the world is supposed to end tomorrow at 6pm by a massive earthquake. I was freaking out thinking a scientist predicted it until I heard that it was a Preacher who did. not only that but he predicted the same thing last year and it never happened!
I believe in God- Although I dont really have a specific religion- and so does my boyfriend. He has done some research on the subject for quite some time now. And he is also reading the bible cover to cover.
He told me that God said, no Man nor Angel can ever know Mankinds End.
Also he checked up on the earthquake thing and said from what he has read, its the Madrid Fault and he told me not to worry because its in the middle of the US. He said he's sure lots of people will die but doesn't think it will happen on this side of the US (California).
I don't know what to believe! I find it hard to believe the Preacher.. Because the bible doesn't say the world will end on May 21, 2011. how could this Preacher get an exact date like that? He's not a scientist from what I know!
What are your opinions on the subject?
Do you think this is all fake?
Has 2012 come sooner than expected? or is the prediction of the world ending in 2012 also fake?
Thankyou to those who answer. sorry this is so long lol.

Isn't that when the Vogon's are scheduled to start building their hyperspace bypass?

Grab your towel and sun glasses

DON"T PANIC

Yep… give me your house – you won't need it anymore…

i dont know! i just heard about it on TV and i was like wat?!?! im only 13!! i've got longer to go through!! lol

It is most certainly false. In fact 99% of us faithful Christians dissmiss it as ballony. The preacher somehow used the Bible to figure out Christ's crucifiction, (he believes it is April 1, 55 AD or something like that) and then he used the square of three special numbers repeated in the Bible to get the number of days until Jesus would come back. He also used a passage from the Bible that said for every 1000 days to us it is like a second in heaven, or something like that.

> how could this Preacher get an exact date like that? He's not a scientist from what I know!

Since you asked.
Harold Camping believes Christ was crucified on April 1, 33 A.D., exactly 722,500 days before May 21, 2011. that number, 722,500, is the square of 5 x 10 x 17. In Camping's numerological system, 5 represents atonement, 10 means completeness, and 17 means heaven.

So if Jesus was crucified on April Fool's Day – and I am not sure where the preacher got that information – and if you know for a fact that atonement means the number 5, completeness is no other number but the number 10, and the seventh heaven is really the seventeenth heaven, well, that is all the evidence you need for the world ending tomorrow.

Hey, Lilith!
The chances are about the same as last year's prediction. just another person trying for their 15 minutes of fame.
Beside the biblical fact that clearly states that no one can know the time, there is no earthquake that can end the earth; they are too localized.
As far as 2012, the same principle can be applied. no one can know.
However, I do have a question for you, and/or your boyfriend. If this concerns you so much and you have been reading the Bible from cover to cover, hasn't it had any effect on your lives? Where is your fear coming from? Personally, I look forward to the end…even if I have to suffer through whatever means the Lord uses. it will be over and I believe I will enter eternal life with God, family, friends and loved ones.
Don't intend to get preachy on you, but get right with the God of your understanding and get to know him with whatever time we have left. sure, in the END, we all will die. We can also die just stepping off the sidewalk in front of a bus. The goal is to know him, love him and Serve him. this is mostly seen in the lives we lead and our relationships with others.

I wish you the very best. Hope to see you on the other side of life.
Jim

Well no doubt you find it hard to believe, the theory is absolutely ridicules, there's no scientific evidence and there is no biblical evidence, just because Harold Camping has convinced some people it's ending doesn't make it at all true.

Is The World Really Supposed To End On May 21st? I Find It Hard To Believe….?

Whats up with 2012 and the end of the world?

have scientist proven with facts that 2012 will not be the end of the world?

READ MATTHEW CHAPTER 24, it'll answer your questions =]

Lol ask this in the religion and spirituality section. Trust me there's a HUGE barney going on all the time about this!! It's so stupid!!

No. nobody can predict the end of the world and no one can prove that it won't either

Whats up with 2012 and the end of the world?

Is there any religious folks here which believe that 2012 is the end of days?

if there are if and when 2012 comes about and possibly goes by and we are all still here, would that change your religious beliefs at all, or would you just shrug your shoulders and say "Well god just must have changed his mind"

Oh please…….roll over and wake up !

God changes his mind all the time, just look at the year 2000 … he had Armageddon all planned, ready to go and at the last minute, he decided to give us a 12 year reprieve. so thoughtful, so kind, praise be to our blessed Lord.

No one know period.The christian don't know, the pastors don't know even Jesus Christ don't know when he will return. Only God know and He had everything planned out so there no need for God to change his mind.

no where in the bible does it give a date as to when the world will end.. so when 2012 comes and goes, it will have NOTHING to with religion..

No there is no any reasonable evidence to see so. People who want to think without using their abilities of reasoning cling to such ideas when they hear of them.

end of world is never known……. my religious folks will say .. god knows the best, god has a plan. so many dooms day predictions have failed, and all future predictions are bound to fail

Well, for one, I don't remember the end being 2000. I thought it was just a computer problem that was going to cause a black out. It also says matthew 24-Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 5For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,[a]' and will deceive many. 6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of birth pains."Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
all of these thigs must happen first. I would say we are right on the time when the gospel is being preached in the whole world. The only thing next is the end. Regardless of whether it's 2011 or 2012 it is coming very soon. You don't have to believe it but you will find out the truth and it will hit you hard. I really pray you look into it instead of just denying it.

Doubtful. Jesus said " in a time that ye think not, the Son of Man cometh" therefore, if we anticipate it on said day in said year it will not happen.

Every few years these same clowns come up with an Apocalypse or some weird thing, my sister in-law is going to be Raptured out before it happens so the rest of go to Hell I guess….( HOW DUMB is this )..
Nothing will happen and they will still be looking for another Dooms Day……thats just the way some people are,Very Short Memories….

Is there any religious folks here which believe that 2012 is the end of days?

In your religious beliefs, do you think that it is heretical if you believe in the 2012 Mayan stuffs?

In your religious beliefs, do you think that it is heretical/against your religion if you believe in the 2012 Mayan stuffs?? :-/
Please answer.
Thanks.

Date setting has been part of the Christianity since the days of Nero and even the apostles believed Christ would come soon.
Also it's ingrained in our psychological make-up. It's connected to our own life lines and the linear fulfilment of time. It has some basis in the anxiety of our time and history.
In mainstream Christianity it is clearly stated by Christ that we will not know the hour – so live each day to the fullest. It's not translated any other way.
Some extreme sects preach from Revelations and rally their believers into this kind of thinking. I believe it to be an aberrant belief. however the sects that promote end-of-time beliefs get their theology from a literal reading of Revelations. Biblical literalism is a modern Heresy.
http://www.askthepriest.org/askthepriest…

The Mayan calendar has nothing to do with Christianity, or anything else except he Mayans, who aren't even around any longer.
It's not based in a rational, logical or reasoned belief.
PT Barnum reigns in on this matter the best: There's a sucker born every minute. There's a lot of money to be made from these suckers.

nope. why did all the drama come now and why not in the past? why did the mayan calender stop on that year? maybe the mayans got bored of predicting the future so many times and stopped? i would definitely get bored of predicting thousands of years in the future no matter how fun it was.

heretical, No.
inaccurate, possibly.

I have pointed that out before. the bible considers fortune telling to be witchcraft (except Revelation, of course), so any belief in prophecy spits in the face of their god.

I don't beleive it. What's going to happen is earth is going to get overpopulated and we'll end up destroying ourselves in the end.

Definitely. Islamically speaking, no one knows when the Day of Judgment is, so believing in 2012 is just blasphemy.

If you are an independent thinker, it is not. if you are not, it is.

People will believe what they want but we know that the time is short.

The Mayan stuff is much ado about nothing.

In your religious beliefs, do you think that it is heretical if you believe in the 2012 Mayan stuffs?

2012 END OF WORLD THEORY~ Believe? Or Think Its BS?

Just curious,
how many of you believe that December 21, 2012 is when the world will end?
Do you think that the world will end on that day or do you think its just bullsh*t?
I go back and forth about it. and im just curious to see what you think…
Also tell me why you believe the way you do.

Thanx!

2012
Scientists do not predict dates for the world to end. neither do Christians, Muslims, Jews or any religion except those founded on recent fraud. That is done by religious zealots like Harold "Quack of Doom" Camping, charlatans and lunatics. some people are all three at once.

These predictions for 2012 are not science, they are anti-science, delusion, gibbering superstition and fraud posing as real knowledge for profit.

There is no Mayan "calendar" here. There is however a count of days that is supposed to fill up a "baktun" about 2012, probably in December 2012 but it could be years either side. we are not sure exactly when the count started. it appears to have been in August 3114BC by our system but it might have been earlier or later. In other words, the last day of the baktun (which is 144000 days long) might have passed and we didn't notice.

There is no prophecy of the EOTW or any "spiritual change" from the Mayans. anyone who claims that there is is a plain liar, fool or fraud. and there is no prophecy from any other culture, ancient or modern about 2012, except the fraudulent and sub-criminal recent one from confidence tricksters in our culture. not even the descendants of the Mayans believe in this spurious drivel.

The prophecies for 2012 are lies based on lies. There are no alignments, no predicted solar flares, no rogue planets or any of the rest of the pseudo-scientific and fake-historical babble.

The entire thing is delusion, superstition and lies invented by the reality challenged and used by the ethically challenged to make money from the mentally challenged.

Things are getting better, not worse. the revolts happening around the world are a good thing, people are taking back the power from the power elite. 2012, in my opinion, will be the end of our current way of living, but far from the end of the world. 2012 is just the start of much change to come in the up and coming years.

Peace and Namaste

It's the unfortunate coincidence of a bunch of dates ending, which can all be logically explained. the Maya clearly predicted they would die out, and decided to leave one great prank for everyone to enjoy.

A hearty laugh will be had by all.

No, seriously though, it's because they died out before they could live the next iteration of their calendar, a long-cycle, 360 year calendar. the Egyptians are in a similar boat.

It's a good practical joke they played on us though, eh?

Jesus said that no man knows the time of the end, neither the son, but
only the Father.

No man on earth can predict when Christ will return.

It will be the end of one kind of life and the beginning of a different one.

It may be coincidentally right if the Father should desire it to happen that day.

B to the S

Think how much money that movies 2012 made…..

http://archive.cyark.org/2012-truth-fiction-and-the-popular-imagination-blog?gclid=CKjt9MqPsqgCFQgEbAodhXB1Dw

READ ^^ it will explain everything

I have the same reason for thinking that theory is bullshit as that I have for thinking Christianity is bullshit.

Because I actually took a look at what it's really about.

Only God the Father Knows That Answer

On this amazing and glorious weekend… let us remember the price that has been paid. let us rejoice in the gift of God, in his Glory and most of all his love.

Resurrection Sunday – Jesus Christ -

I do not think it matters if it is going to happen or not on that said date. My question to you is what are you doing for yourself just in case it does happen? getting religious maybe?

12/21/2012
On Dec 20th 2012 there will be rioting in the streets when the people realize the world did not end and there are only five shopping days till Christmas.

Scientifically, we are supposed to be in the path of a giant asteroid by 2029. looks like the Mayans were only a few years off.

Anyone that believes in that rapture cr*p is f*cked in the head.
So I vote Bullishit.

Yeah, gotta love those Mayans…able to predict the end of the world, yet couldn't predict their own demise…

Ha Ha…outstanding…

The beginning of wisdom is fear of the Lord and that wisdom tells me that only He knows when the end will come.

Only if Palin gets elected as president and handed the nuclear codes.

KABOOM, y'all!

Peace

They made billions of dollars around the Globe with this Propaganda.. by filming a movie 2012…So I don't think so …. WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH..

it's true honey. …..

The most obvious BS in the world.

Don't insult the word "theory" like that.

Isaac Newton used the bible to predict such events.

He stated the world CAN'T end before 2060.

Jesus said HE didn't even know the time. That it was known only to GOD, so who's so smart they know the mind of GOD? Lots of pointless speculation and guessing going on.

It's not a theory…

the world could end at anytime!!!

when WORLD become end then nurture give sing us read bhagwat it is to far that 2012 END OF WORLD

I didnt believe Y2K so why start now? lol

This question has definitely been abused by the those with an eye on greed… who are willing to profit by playing on people's fears and fascination with impending doom. I call this BS mongering and something the ego loves to prance around about as being the "specialist in the know".

No-it-all, I'd say, fits quite well for many of the writings & movies we've seen coming down the pike on this one.

Though I suspect, there are a few people who are sincere and have interesting and genuine insights regarding some aspects of this calendar because many angles of perception are likely "at play".

My inner sense of this moves along these lines.
The Mayan calendar was more of a math equation regarding consciousness energy momentum and had nothing to do with predicting our futures per se.

However, the inclination of our collective consciousness does have a creating impact upon how our lives will evolve because there are consequences for all our choices.

The reason for an abrupt ending? They ran out of paper… I jest, ha ha….

Let's say they were calculating a mathematical function of Free will in relationship to the TAO or duality of two opposing energy fields in consciousness:

one in resonance or harmony with our Spirit-SOURCE-Creator, and vibrating to the tune of a Unity of Oneness, creating a greater good of ever more Love/Peace/ Wisdom/Light in our world

AND the

other in resonance with deviation & distortion from our Spirit-SOURCE-Creator, and vibrating to the tune of chaos of separation, creating an ever widening gap or void of anti-good of pain/fear/hate/greed in our world.

These two energies are designed to be held in a dynamic tension of opposing forces kept in balance.

However, free will is a WILD CARD, so to speak, and it has played havoc with this balance due to our proclivities toward narcissism that are not being kept in check.

SO, imagine this math equation of high level probabilities in permutation.

The calendar, or chart of "things" progressing as we "know it", meets with a crises in our collective mind when, the actions of our free will creates an energetic imbalance of more energy being of the NOT-Spirit aligned kind, rather than of what-IS/Spirit/ Creator kind.

You see, the dynamic breaks and goes amok, IF and WHEN, it should ever happen that as a race, we collectively create into manifested form, more NOT-Spirit/Love based energy.

This means more evil or not-Spirit energy becomes more than 50% of the entire unified field of energy. This causes the math equation to meet the end of its permutations, or the calendar simply ends.

We cannot have less Spirit-Source-God energy on this planet than not-Spirit-God energy; this would cause a "ka-ching", so to speak, such as Noah's Flood.

This doesn't mean this imbalance will occur at that time; it does mean it could. Look around you. do you think we're playing with some dangerous odds regarding this probability becoming a reality?

I think we are dangerously walking the edge. I hope people will wake up by their own choice, and change their ways and priorities, so as to not force this imbalance into fruition, which would be disastrous. AND, REALLY, not necessary.

This viewpoint has an eerie ring of TRUTH to it, don't you think? It's about choices, not destiny of doom and gloom.

All to Love,

2012 END OF WORLD THEORY~ Believe? Or Think Its BS?

Why do people think that "the year 2012 is the end of the world?"?

i didn't get it…why did they predict that the end is on "2012"…because they wanted to scare people? or it was just some sort of a religion that sees the year 2012 as the end of the world?

Whats your answer?

end of mayan calendar…

but the gregorian calendar ends every year, and people just start over again, so i really don't see the big deal…

that is when the Mayan Calender stops.

There's a few ancient calendars that end on Dec 21 2012. That's primarily why.

Because they have nothing better to do than to try and predict something that the Lord said was non-predictable

I'm sick of this question. I curse the History chanel for running that show. I am amazed how hard people find it to do search for a question or do a search on google for things like this

the great mayans predicted it.

No, The World wil not end,

Mat 24:36 ¶ but of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

just lotsa prophecies from all around the globe, from all different cultures — it's a bit of a coincidence, i suppose. i also suppose that it will end up like all other doomsday claims have been throughout history — invalid.

Mayan prophecy! 21of december.

Look into the Mayan calendar – they estimate that it will all end then.

The Mayans AND Nostradamus both predicted the same date as the end of the world. it goes thousands of years back into history. there were other ancient groups who came up with the same date but those 2 are the only one's I remember.

Christianity is eschatological, that is, it assigns some importance to 'the end of the World'. so when some ancient culture's calendar runs out at some date in the near future, it sets off gullible people in a tizzy.

The next time the world doesn't end will be in 2029, when a comet comes into Earth's neighborhood.

I don't think that anyone knows the date or time that this world will end…
.

People have been predicting the end of the world for decades; and as you can tell, they are always wrong. I don't know why they's picked 2012 this time around. I have even asked one person a point blank question to show me WHERE in the Bible he states this is written and he avoided the question — told me to go to some website…blah…blah…blah. I am a Christian and I do believe in the end of time; however, only God knows that day – no man knows. Don't fret over these predictions, just be prepared for his coming at any time.

It's when the Mayan calendar ends.

I just figure they had to run out of ink some time.

the end of times has been predicted since the beginning of times and all years have at one time or another been 'predicted' there is nothing unique about 2012 and is just another random date used by end of time predictors. once it has passed other dates will be used.

The Mayans were pretty accurate with their astrological predictions and their calendar ends in 2012. it could just be that is how far they got before their civilization ended or it could be as some believe – the end of the world. Personally I think they just didn't get to go further.

the myin calender says it but they also say it's because of the earth is to aline with the center of the Galaxy

Even JESUS DOES NOT KNOW THE DATE, This shows Jesus in not god, but looks to his father .

matthew 24:36 “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.

three ancient culture all had calanders that ended on that date 21 dec 2012

they have decided that as each have stopped the calander on those days it may be a sign

recently science has found that on the date mentioned we will be in a perfect unhindered ailanment with the black hole that is situated at the centre of the milky way and that our sun will be in a certian place thats unusual aswell

so either these people knew something
or there all coincidences

either way with all the end of the world prophacies if they carry on one of them has got to get it right

People always have to have something to worry about, it is senseless.

The Mayans studied the stars and planet movement, and figured out a change would happen in 2012. They were right.

I believe it is a meteor, will be passing the earth in 2012, messing up our magnetic pull, which will mess with gravity, which will mess with the tides, which will mess with the weather.

NASA has already predicted that in 2012 GPS will no longer work, due to this magnetic change.

It only scares ignorant people, live your life one day at a time. If you were to die tomorrow what difference would 2012 make?

Plan your life like the world will on forever and treat people with kindness.

LOL

Who thinks this?
Not me.
This world will continue for a very long time.
God bless you.

2012 is the end of the Mayan calender. I think it's when Quetzocoatl is supposed to come back. Personally, I just think they had to end it at some point.

This has happened throughout the History of the world. These are people with a lot of time in their hands and don't know what to do with it. Don't believe them. They are usually religious people doing this to attract prospects to their churches.

It is the year the Mayans said the end of the world will come. Also in The Bible Code it says the end of the world on the same day. The Bible Code also says that there will be a devastating earthquake in California in 2009. so, if there is a huge earthquake in 2009 I'll start repenting.

The end of the age happened 1960 AD, 2012 AD is a great event in South America. The end of the world will take place in 2940 AD. The 10th king is about to take office in less then 1 year.

I just watched that last night and my son believes every detail of it. so I asked him if he would like to place a bet…. you give me your 2 corvettes if the world doesn't end and if your right I'll give you my 325,000.00 house in upstate,ny …. Guess what I think he found away not to believe it anymore…thought that was pretty funny!

it's the expected year of the next Knicks championship…

Why do people think that "the year 2012 is the end of the world?"?

Do you think the world will end at the last day of the Mayan calendar on December 21, 2012?

I don't think so.

erm no-it hasnt ended so far , yet there has been numerous days documented that have past that have been documented as doomsday.

no, in this world nothing people know, when the end of world. the end of this world…. just our God who know it.

No.

And I'm not just saying that for the points.

Nope… I believe in the bible & in my religion… – no one knows…but God!

Let me konow if its gonna so i can top up the credit cards!

Do you think the world will end at the last day of the Mayan calendar on December 21, 2012?

What is the Mayan Calendar and Dec 21st,2012?

A friend told me the world is going to end in Dec 21st 2012 because the Mayan Calendar ends. What is all this about? Personally, I don't think it will happen. The world was supposed to end several times already. Please give me an accuarate summary of this prediction.

Even though we are currently experiencing an increase in solar flare activity as well as a migration of our magnetic poles, I don't expect the world will end because of this. At worst, we may witness more deaths due to stronger hurricanes and earthquakes; possibly massive tsunamis if we experience a sudden pole shift. The Mayans do not expect life to end, at the end of their calendar, only life as we know it; even so, it could always end if man does something to causes it to end. here is a little summary about the Mayan people and their predictions.

The Mayan Indians regard their beliefs as both a science and a religion. Their discoveries are not done in a lab but rather by tapping into the cosmos via the mind. Through the extensive use of meditation, they are able to discover and track planetary movements as well as space anomalies such as black holes. They used this information to construct a calendar so accurate that no present day calendar can rival its accuracy. They also use this information to predict future events.

According to some Mayans, this date marks the end of the long count of their calendar; Set to end on a winter solstice (12-21-12). On this date, our Solar system will be center aligned with the Milky Way's equator. our sun will be centered in a position called "The Tree of Life", as it does every 25,800 years. we will have exited the forth dimension and entered the fifth dimension. This date also marks the end of the Mayan "Great Cycle" of the long count, which is equivalent to 5125 years. we exit the age of Pisces and enter the age of Aquarius.

In this position, unusually violent sun spot activity will cause a pole shift. Earthquakes, tsunamis, and floods will run ramped. Significant loss of life will occur. Earths magnetic field will temporarily collapse. Humans will be exposed to a cosmic energy that will facilitate enlightenment. in this state of higher consciousness, we will recognize that all matter, plant, animal, mineral are bound as one. This realization will mark the end of wars for a time. People will be able to connect to the essence of god (vibrating energy) like only the most enlightened can.

The date marks a goal to be reached. Evil forces will make every effort to keep humanity from reaching the date. these evil forces are those entrenched in the third dimension, in the Material world. They have no desire to leave this age and wish to continue exploiting and endangering all life for material gain.

Wars just prior to this date could be most devastating, with a loss of as much as 2/3 of our population anticipated. The resulting man made environmental damage could make life inhospitable for those who survive.

Humans have freewill, Man's future is not set yet, nor predictable:
STRIVE FOR PEACE

What is the Mayan Calendar and Dec 21st,2012?

I know the world won't end in 2012. But did the Mayans actually believe that it would?

We are constantly hearing that the Mayan calendar ends in the year 2012. But did the Mayans actually think the world would end, or that something huge would happen in 2012?

Or did they just run our of space or something?

yes they did. they were brilliant and i actually kinda believe it. they figured that the sun would be in the center of the universe on December 21, 2012 and that this alignment would be the cause of the end of the world.

Some people believe that this is the year the antichrist will rise.
Some believe that Planet X will be the cause of our death.
Some believe that the economy will have something to do with it.
Some believe Global Warming will do it.
Nostraudamus predicted that it would have something to do with religion.

All of these have one thing in common: december 21, 2012.

I think all the others are just branches off the mayan prediction though.

We really don't know what the Mayans believed about 2012. We know it was the end of this current epoch – we just don't know the direction they would have taken.

Almost all the books the Mayans wrote were destroyed by the Spanish missionaries who thought they were books by the devil because they were written in cuneiform shapes. in fact we've only recently learned how to decipher the Mayan writings in stone.

No, neither is right. The Maya calendar DOES NOT end in 2012, nor did they think that the world would end on that date. all that stuff you hear about the Maya long count ending is crap dreamed up by new age nut jobs who can't bother to pick up an anthropological text on the subject. The calendar simply rolls over. just like how your clock rolls over at midnight to the AM of the next day. Nothing more.

And, when it comes to Maya end of the world ideas, they though that our age would end in "fire", though it's most likely a metaphor for conflict of some sort if the written record is to be believed. There's supposed to be fighting amongst both creatures and inanimate objects (the Maya believe that everything is alive, though we don't see it that way). even then, it's not the end end by any indication. It's only the end of this creation. According to the Maya, there were already 4 ages before us, each dominated by a different type of creature that failed to meet the gods' standards. As each group failed, it was replaced.

I don't think that they just ran out of space, because they plotted the begging of creation. why go all the way back, then suddenly end on this date? As for primitive, their calandar is more accurate than the one we use today. I don't think that the world will end, but I do think that there will be a shift.

Just for giggles, check out the Large Hadron Collider — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider

My Aunt is an archaeologist and in her investigation, and talking to several remaining Mayans, they think that everyone who is making a big deal about it is silly. According to them, the Mayans on that specific area simply stopped the calender, no predictions, nothing. That's what I have been told.

Well the weird thing is that every 26,000 years the Earth tilts on its axis.this will happen again on 12-21-2012.We will also be centered with a black hole in the center of our galaxy when this happens.So it may all be a coincidence,or it may not.Either way it is strange….

I watched a big thing about it on Discovery

You have to understand that the Mayans were a very primitive tribe… And a solar eclipse was seen as a world ending event….. And how many people had their heart cut out because of that single event……..
And who knows how they felt about a meteorite hitting the earth not to far from them….

The world won`t end . Don`t be afraid about it . The mayans didn`t say it would end .They just stopped the calendar . maybe the carver just passed away . But they don`t have any proof. The scientists aren't even sure yet ! So don`t believe it .

No — the end of the Mayan Calendar is simply the end of that Long Count (or the present World Age). It simply marks the beginning of the next cycle of rebirth & renewal for the Mayans.

as other posters said, not the end of the world, but the end of a cycle.
probably the cycle of ignorance, greed and violence that has been going on.

I think the calendar just ended for some reason. there is simply no way that they predicted anything specific.

There are literally hundreds of dates throughout history that people said the world would end on. And its never happened.

Yes they did believe that. almost everything that has happened in history has been on that calendar. how they know? I don't know…. maybe they got that wrong, WE WILL SEE IN 2012

We can never be sure. It can also be possible we haven't found a new calender. We will have to see.

yes the mayans be lived it and they weren't the only ones to pick that year

The Mayans are in a fourth demension.

If the mayans were so great….why did they die off?

I know the world won't end in 2012. But did the Mayans actually believe that it would?
