What are the chances of the world really ending in 2012?

I heard that on december 21st of 2012 the world is going to end. Is this true? Who made this prediction? What is it based on? It kind of scares me a bit. also wasn't there a supposable prediction of the world ending in just the past few years and nothing happened? Was it predicted by the same person?

The ancient Maya priesthood calculated threw astrology and superstition that this date would mark the end of human consciousness as we know it, not the end of the world

Nostradamus never knew the mayas and he predicted the end of the world at the same time, dec 21st, 2012. He also predicted the 9 11.

There are many predictions on it such as global warming, the linement of all planets in a solar system and meteor chances of destroying this planet.

Now im not very big on science. You can do research on yourself around the internet instead of believing what people tell you. I myself would love to keep living beyond 2012. But if it is truly the end, then i guess we have nothing to do about it. just live your day to the fullest because death can come anytime to anybody.

pretty well the same odds of it happening in five minutes from now or five centuries from now, or what it was yesterday before yesterday happened. Extremely unlikely.

That whole 2012 thing is an internet scam, somebody playing a joke even if many people think it is serious. it isn't. There is absolutely no basis for the idea. It is a load of hooey. do not worry. You are far far more likely to be struck by lightening or hit by a car or crash in an airplane, or even to get hit by a crashing airplane while sitting in your living room watching tv. even getting hit by a meteor is way way more likely, and that essentially never happens.

Some things in life are worth worrying about, and others aren't. 2012 end of the world is NOT one of the things that needs to be worried about.

Slim to none. as Richard said, the same as tomorrow. Remember when the world was supposed to end in 2000? then in 6/6/06? The Mayan calendar ends then, and they new absolutely nothing about space relative to us (they knew some things, but we know about ten thousand times as much). The Earth will end in a couple billion years for sure when the sun sheds its outer layers, incinerating the Earth, and there's a one-in-several-trillion chance that the large asteroid Apophus will hit a very tiny gravity well in a couple of years that will cause it to hit the Earth in 2036.

Although the following referenced article answers the question from an Islamic perspective, it is a very good and logical approach to 2012, what it is, etc.

The otherwise lengthy article combines religion, science and predictions and attempts to make sense of them all logically … something that definitely appealed to me personally.

I hope you find it as useful as I have.

This is based off the supposed fact that the Mayan calendar ends on 21 DEC 2012. of course, does the world end every Dec 31st when your calendar ends? It's a bunch of silly nonsense.

theres no chance the world is going to end in 2012, and i am not saying it wont, but not in 2012. because our distance from the sun changes every four years. and do you guys remember when they said the world was going to end in like 2008 or something? so yea anyways every four years the distance changes so our cellphone, internet etc signals will change for a short time. soo dont worry about it

You heard trash.
The "prediction" is a series of unrelated stories and completely fictitious tales lumped together under one date to make it all seem more likely.
Anyone with any basic scientific education knows its all completely ridiculous.

Hey we are just human beings ……..no one can predict about the end of the world……….ask Jesus,God,bhagwaan,guru ( all are one)

Now while asking GOD dont look up in sky bcuz he resides in ur own heart…….He will gonna let u know when is it gonna be real.

Hard and fast rule…….
More sins u do more u will fall earlier.

Donot think too much …..just relax god is there……..OM SHANTI OM

like if the world was to this second.People said that it was going to end in 2000 because it was the end of the Century we still life today thank the all mighty.

I don't know about the chances, but I heard that even NASA says that on December 21st 2012, increased solar activity and other cosmic events will take place. Don't worry, its coming. I can't wait.

ZERO is the chance of such a dumb hoax being true. It has no real basis. It''s all just lies and errors… mostly deliberate ones, and that's the same as lies.

Chances for this happening are nil, nada, zero.

It is just a bunch of stupid new Age flim-flam.

Just ignore it and move on with your life.

I say about the same as it ending tomorrow!

The world will go on, but we are ******.

I highly think NOT, but I wouldn't mind if it did!

Ok. I will answer all of your questions.

No I don't think it's true that the world will end on 2012.
Nancy Lieder and some people who misunderstood the Mayan calendars made the prediction…. or hoax.
Nancy claims that aliens are talking to her. People say that the Mayan calendar has reached the end of it's long count. I.E, the calendar ends on Dec 21 2012.
Yes there was a prediction. in Y2K and 2003.
2003 was "predicted" by the same erson, Nancy Lieder. She said that she was just wanting to fool the establishment and see how they would react.

Ok, now no need to panic.

1. The Mayan calendar ends on that date. It doesn't mean End of the world, it simply means, it'll start from the beginning again. Like our calendars.
2. Nancy Lieder said that aliens are talking to her. But thing is, she's fooled us all once, remember the 2003 thing? Are we gonna trust her again? And she and other people do this kind of thing to earn quick bucks.
Like authors wrote books like "true facts of 2012" or "2012 survival guide", it's cos everyone is currently freaking out and want to learn how to survive and etc. So the authors get rich quick.
Same goes for History Channel.
3. Some websites say "Scientists prove that world is going to end on 21 December." But which scientist? they did not state.
Some even claim that "NASA has all the info about this 2012 world gonna end thing." But they didn't give the link, and when people searched the NASA website for the news, there's none.
4. Nibiru is fake. Imaginary planet. And the photographs are photoshopped.

The chance is none!!

I truly do not believe the world is going to end in 2012… I have a few reasons why I believe this…

First NO man knows when the world will come to an end! No matter how smart, how popular, how religious, or how crazy they are!!
I know this because of these few verses…

1 Thessalonians 5:2
‘For you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.’

2Peter 3:10
‘But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.’

Revelation 16:15
“Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed.”

I don’t know about you, but normally people don’t know when a thief is coming… What will normally happen is, the thief will steal something small and you will never know he was even in your house; You could wake up the next day and find everything missing; or you wake up in the middle of the night by “surprise” and find out that someone is in your house taking things…

The point I’m trying to make is when the world ends, and Jesus comes back for the final time, is going to be a complete surprise to EVERYONE! I also believe this because…

Matthew 24:44
‘So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.’

Acts 1:7
He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.”

And my favorite…

Mark 13:32
“No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, or the Son, (Son referring to Jesus) but only the Father

These verses clearly state that not one man, and not one angel, knows when the world is going to end! Jesus doesn’t even know when he’s going to come back for his second and final time! But it’s all in the Fathers timing, (which is perfect by the way). Isn’t that crazy!!

Now don’t just take my word on this though… you should look up these verses on your own, and check them out for yourself, See what you come up with.

Also if you want to know how the world is REALLY going to end, read the book of Revelation, it will tell you in pretty good explanation how the world is going to really end!

Thanks for reading,

What are the chances of the world really ending in 2012?

Is 2000 or 2012 end of world predictions worse?

I'm freaked out by 2012 and I was too young to know or care about the 2000 end of world predictions. Is 2012 or 2000 more believed? I mean like, when it was 2000 were people as worried as they are now about 2012?

Thanks in advance,
Bella

The 2000 scare was composed of two different things, the computer scare and religious fear of the millennium. The computer problem was real. it was due to the fact that most computer programs had been written using a 2 digit year. if this hadn't been corrected, many things that were computer controlled wouldn't have done things that they were supposed to do in 2000 because it would be read as 1900. Companies worked very hard and got this corrected. The millennium fear was just superstition and they also thought the world would end at the year 1000.

The 2012 end of the world is completely a hoax, but it is more widespread because of the internet. it has no basis in fact. here is a site where you can learn more about it and they aren't selling anything.

So what exactly are you freaked out about:
– a fictitious planet that can't hit us?
– a comet that isn't there?
– pole shifts that take thousands of years to happen?
– alignments of the sun and the galactic plane that happens every December?
– planetary alignments that can’t ever happen?
– an ancient calendar moving from the current cycle to a new one, like our calendar does every year?
– a hoax started by a bunch of crackpots that were wrong about the world ending in 2003 but still have survival kits and books to sell to the gullible?

Y2K was a legitimate computer concern that could have caused problems, but work by a lot of people in the years before prevented any problems.

The entire 2012 hoax is pure trash with absolutely no scientific evidence to support even one of the ridiculous claims.

Yes, there were people moving to 'safe' areas in 2000 or stocking up on survival supplies. 2000 wasn't just about the Y2K comupter problem. There were also plenty of predictions by nutcases, just like 2012. There was going to be fire, flood, famine and pestilence and a whole range of unlikely events. nothing in particular happened except a big party.
The same doomsday brigade are out in force again for 2012. People older than you ought to be able to remember that these new-age misfits and crazies never get anything right, but there are always a few mugs who never learn.

2000 was a man made problem. it had to do with computers being reset because old programs wrote dates as 2/10/10 meaning computers had no way to differenciate 2/10/2010 or 2/10/1910

2012 is supposedly predicted by a bunch of prophets, so if you believe them, then yes you should be worried

Is 2000 or 2012 end of world predictions worse?
