Are you worried about Dec. 21, 2012?
Photo by mike 23
I’m a sucker for a good disaster movie. Films like “The Day After Tomorrow,” “Children of Men,” and “Independence Day” were all fascinating and disturbing, but ultimately safe and cathartic ways to examine our fears about the end of the world. There’s a new disaster flick to add to the list, and if the pre-opening buzz is any indication, we’re in for quite a ride with “2012.” The new film by Roland Emmerich focuses on the interpretation of the Mayan calendar which predicts that the current life cycle will end on December 21, 2012, speculating that a worldwide apocalypse will ensue.
Let’s face it — though scary, most “end of the world” prophecies are easy to dismiss. I mean, so many have come and gone throughout history with nothing to show. Just within the last decade, there have been a handful of predicted apocalypse scenarios. According to Nostradamus, we weren’t supposed to make it past 1999, and even if we did, Y2K was sure to do us in. Why should the 2012 prediction be any different?
Well, for one thing, the Mayas were different from, and perhaps a bit more knowledgeable, than some other doomsday foretellers. The Mayan calendar is almost as advanced as our own at predicting astrological phenomena like eclipses and alignments — a pretty amazing feat considering that they didn’t have access to telescopes, satellites, and the other advanced technology that we have at our disposal. The Mayas chose 2012’s solstice as doomsday based on astronomical observations predicting a squaring-off between the powerful forces of Pluto and Saturn — a phenomenon that, according to my understanding, will indeed occur around that time.
But, to be fair, this same cosmic occurrence has happened many times before, most recently between August 2001 and May 2002, and we came through it just fine. Much of the hype about 2012 is actually just that: hype. Even modern Mayas are discounting the validity of the interpretation of their ancient calendar. But no one can deny that we, as a society, love a bit of suspense. Fueled by Internet speculation, sensationalist authors and scientists, and, of course, the upcoming Hollywood blockbuster, anxiety about 2012 is certainly on the rise and will probably continue to pervade popular culture…at least until 2013 and the next big apocalypse prediction.
Do you believe in the Mayan prophecy regarding Dec. 21, 2012? And if you knew it were true, how would you like to spend your next (and last) 3 years on earth?

The myan calender end of the world therory has been dismissed. They have inscriptions talkig about dates in the 4000s so please shut up dude
I would probably move to the moon. but while on earth I would probably just stay the same. A little more partying but mostly still the same..
No. The prophecy stated that I’m gonna save it.
I don’t believe in doomsday prophecies. The date of the end of the world has to be approved by the international commitee of scientists. Even then I might doubt it.
There is no real way to determine exactly when and how the world will end. You need a time machine for that.
i dont beleive in this rubbish…even modern mayans deny it.
i think this so called ‘prophecy’ was misinterpreted by the West. the Mayan’s calendar ended on 2012, which does not mean OURS will end on 2012. idiots
Very nice topic if you think about the if ‘s, but based on my religoin (baptist) the end of the world will come as unexpectedly as an oil spill. The end of the world has things that will happen before it as signs, but cannot, may not and will not be predicted. You can reveal the details in Revelations from the Bible. The Mayan prediction is wrong and I would put my life as a wager on it. You can even almost laugh at it. This is however a smart way of scaring people into confesion, but is certainly wrong. Thus the end of the world will come either before or after, but not on Dec. 21, 2012.
This is is forreal dawg its the end of the world as we know it. Just kidding.
I do not believe the prophecy. I remember when it was New Year’s Eve, the night before January 1, 2000. Apparently, the world was about the end with the coming of the millenium.
And apparently not.
I agree with the point that it is simply hype, probably stirred up by the upcoming movie.
If, however, it were to be true, then I would probably spend my next three years travelling and meeting people.
Unlikely that it is though =P
nice! pretty informative!,
but if most people are getting scared already , eventhough its three years from now….then how much more, if the day has come when it is 3 days left before that alleged doomsday date?,…
will the world be chaotic and in a state of paranoia?, people running here and there,….cars crashing, panic, hysteria, people getting ready to evacuate?,or is it just a scene from last minute christmas sale rush?…
i don’t know….but let’s just wait and see…
Heck no! You’re exactly right about the other apocalypse scenarios. It’s all a bunch of hype. I’ve heard this been proven wrong too many times for me to believe it.
the Mayan calendar ended on Dec. 21, 2012, but simply the fact that they never got around to making the rest of it is possible too.
It aint real that some bull ****
One word: No. It’s a load of crap. I don’t believe in it. I honestly wish people wouldn’t suspect the end just because of the Mayan calendar ending on that date. I remember 2000…That was really chaotic at my school. The most recent doomsday I heard of was 9/09/09. Next is 10/10/10, then 11/11/11, then 12/12/12, and finally 12/21/12. That’s all I heard of. If I knew it was true, I’d probably spend the next 3 years forming some group of teens with me to try and become survivors; just like in the upcoming movie. I don’t even think it’s possible for the planets to align. I remember reading somewhere that there’s a zero chance of that happening. I think that if 2012 really did something, it’d be a new beginning. Nothing big will really happen. Just put some bets with the believers out there and get some money!
No, I don’t. The astrony-based predictions (like in horoscopes and such) are all a hoax. LIfe can’t be predicted by things like planets b/c things change each day. That’s why horoscopes neves come true, and even if they do come true sometimes. There is also a probability factor in it also.
you know what it relly doesnt matter they just want to scare us so we get so stressed that we do die
no. i’m not worried. the end of the world is near, but not 1212.
wasn’t nostradamas correct in any regard such as context?
I don’t follow hypothetical maybe’s
I died in 1992 for all intensive purposes
not literally
definiyely not figuatively
severe brain damage is not temporary as in I was hurt
to suggest that recovery is ever possible is to say that who I am is not actually me
THANKS FOR READING MY VENT
ta
you know what i bet who ever made the “doomsday calendar” just got tired of calculating the dates & decided to stop, i bet he didnt know he would scare the entire world
I don’t believe it at all… and I fell easy about it because there’s nothing to do with me as far as I think
Richard S, to be completely honest with you, I do not believe the world will come to an end in 2012. But if it does, then it does. I am not going to stress myself over it. I will continue living my life to the best of my ability.
Dad
Actually, the stone tablet which had the Mayan calender inscribed on it was too eroded at the end of it to tell what the glyphs meant. It has also been determined that this calender wasn’t a calender record of all of time itself but a calender record of a certain time period of cultural importance to the Mayans, therefore proving this entire rumor totally null.
don don DON!!!!!!
Whatever happens, happens… I’m not worried because I have a strong faith in God.
haha i find this extrememly intersing. I want to see this movie just to see what happens. I don’t believe its true though
In my opinion, I wouldn’t think so. If we were so hyped at the moment, since we’re just 3, almost 2 years away,.. we should be questioning about it by now.
Yet, scientists haven’t provened yet, and millions of people are starting to plan their future after 2012 instead worrying about it.
Like most others, I’ll believe when I see it.
no offense but your very ignorant. the mayan calander ENDS on december 21 2012 it doesnt say thats when the world is going to end. Thats like saying the world is going to end every january 1st because thats when are calenders run out of months/days.
A few key flaws of the 2012 theory:
1. The Mayan predictions often times do not use astronomy to prove their predictions. An example was the end of the previous calender, when they predicted Cortez’s arrival. To base a doomsday theory off speculation is simply foolish
2. It’s the end of a calender, there are several more afterwards. The calender does predict change at the end of each cycle, but not disaster.
3. Not to bash the Mayans, but the calender does believe a wild evolution cycle that took place in 10000 years. I don’t think there where fish people in the ancient Egyption time.
4. Wasn’t there a panic that the world was going to end in 2006, when all the planets where alligned. What’s with alligned masses and doomsday?
5. Most important, there is very little proven evidence anything will happen. It is no different than Y2K or 1987.
People need to relax. You’re only in the universe for a billionth of its existence, and it is a disservice to yourself and your world to live it in fear. Just relax
Well they can just make another(:
Cause theres no way in hell its going
to end or else they would have made a BIG thig out of it.
And quess what theyy didnt;So no worries
No I don’t. Why? Well not one real/legit archaeologist is saying the world is going to end, it just some pseudo-scientists trying to make a quick buck. Comparing that “prophecy” to Y2K makes Y2K seem not such a crack-pot theory. I mean at least it was based on an actual/real-world problem.
P.S. “Children of Men” is on a completely different level than “2012″, it isn’t a cheesy Hollywood blockbuster.
-Mr.Stokulor
Regardless what happens then, 2012 will come. It’s just like your next birthday, you don’t know what will occur that day , suppose an accident happens before then, some how you don’t servive, still your bithday will be there,just like it has always has been in the past
i dont believe in that bit i still have a alttile fear that it will happen…..
Just an interesting personal side note for you . The Pluto – Saturn square off – happened over my sun sign ( Pluto was in Sag . then 2001 -2002 ) and involved my rising sign of Taurus . My Husband died March 9th 2002 and it certainly was an apocalypse for me .
why not think it will happen? the world could happen any time. i’m not doing anything different. maybe stocking up on a few things, planning ahead in case i make it thorugh. who knows though? thanks for sharing.
No.. Not really
Its just fiction
There is not a planet X and The galatic allignment is something that we dont have to worry about because it happens every year.
I think that’s not true, in the Bible, God implies that no one will know when the world will end.
its all nature”s work. let us accept nature as it comes to us but remain tuned with nature and do good for the humanity as whole
I do not believe in this hoax. People make millions for making up apocalypse dates up and people believe its true so people start to buy gear!! Such phony baloney!!
Personally, I do not believe in the “2012″. Yes, I love the trailer for the movie, but I don’t think there is going to be a real 2012 doomsday. As stated above, it is all hype & we all love a good “what if” story. Just like at camp when we asked “what if…?” our counsler said “what if your mama was a monkey?”
Ok so that doesn’t have much to do with doomsday but still XD
if i knew it was true, i would somehow get an astronaut my family and friends to the moon and after the end, if we still have enough oxygen, if the earth is still there but destroyed, we would go back there if there is still oxygen and gravity.
I do NOT believe in the apocalypse but it’ll be pretty interesting until December 21, with all the mega religious people freaking out. If it DOES happen, I hope I’ll end up in heaven. If it DOESN’T happen, I’ll throw an awesomely LOUD party until the neighbors call the cops on us.
The world is not ending. 2012 is all a hyped up tiny event that gets everyone freaked out. The only reason it exists is because of one thing: The Mayan calendar. The Mayan calendar only lasts about 4000 years (because of the way its designed i.e: 4 weeks, 4 months, 4 years, 4 centuries, ect. until they got to the last unit of time) So the Mayans simply thought that once their calendar ran out then something bad would happen, a simple faulty of an age old calendar, simple as that.
No, I do not believe in the 2012 doomsday prediction. There have been countless doomsday predictions and none of them have come true. The Seventh Day Adventists are still waiting for theirs for example. Trust me, we will all wake up on December 22 and feel really really silly about this whole thing.
i would cry my goddamn ass off
no
Anybody remember Y2K?
How we were so scared of banks losing our money? How we were scared of going back to the stone age? How the systems failure was going to bring life to a standstill?
How we fell for it?
Don’t people ever learn from history. Calendars are meant to end. The next day, guess what, a new one starts.
2012 is another Y2K. Nuff said.
im sure its just a bit of suspense. no its bad. your not supposed to lie and tell people something that scares them. its bullshit
The mayans weren’t able to predict their own [near] complete annihilation, so why should we believe in this???
If it were true, what can we do about?!
Um, hehehe! Dude, isn’t the date everyone is afraid of December 12, 2012? Not 21. Also, I think it’s a bunch of superstition. If that was true, then the UN would no longer have their millennium goals for 2015.
I really believe that the world will not end December 21, 2012 because I believe the world could end at any time. That’s why you are to live each day as if it were your last. No one knows what the future has in store for us and no one can predict the future, not even a psychic. As long as we believe and have faith that we will live for as long as possible, it can and maybe will happen. I will continue to live each day like my last and have faith that my last day won’t come anytime or year soon.
nahh, first of all it’s just a calendar. 2nd a random calender can just tell you when then world will end. god will say when he’ll come not a calendar
Not worried about 2012. But the odds of 6 billion people killed by a giant asteroid is 1 in 1.5 million verses 1 in 195 million of winning the Power Ball lottery.
What are the odds of that?

First of all, the photo posted in this blog is not even the Mayan Calendar, it is the Aztec Calendar which came about 500 years after the Mayan so, please, at least get this one right. I expect this picture to be removed and substituted by something that is Mayan.
Second, there is NO Mayan prophecy. There is an astronomical prediction about the position of the center of the galaxy, which is nothing remarkable, many civilizations before and after them, were great astronomers.
I understand that humans love these prophecies, they make us think that we are connected with the cosmos. The hype this prediction has caused bears testament on how ignorant and gullible people are. Really, how far are we from going all in with government sponsored faith healing if many people are this gullible?
i think this 2012 thing is false cause this world was supposed to end in like 1996 and look were still alive.my point is that were not going to die in 2012 unlessbelive then you are going to die.
i would totally freak out, but id spend those last three yrs building a relationship with God…
im freaking out man. i dont like to think about it cuz then i will dwell on it and dream about it but its a scary thought i think i would live the same although it does motivate me to change my lifestyle
im not realy scared… well not on the outside i guess i feel a little scared on the inside but why worry? just live life to its fullest before the end!
Only God knows when the world will end. Not the Mayas. The Mayas, or no one for this case, know more than our Lord.
i believe it, but it probaly won’t come true, like they said about Y2K. we’re still here, so, why should we believe this thing about 2012?
Well, I don’t think its Going to end. There has been so many Doomsdays its just… Getting old Now
lol
Then again There was this Chick (I saw it on History Channel) That predicted Wars.. and Winner.. It came true…. She predicted It would End in 2012. Shes an ol’ Bag of Dust now She can’t Predict Sh*t now Lol
kind of but I know gos will protected me and my family and friends if any thing happens
help the end is near……
pray for forgiveness……
sinners are doomed…..
judgement day is coming……
armageddon on pay-per-view
.
Speaking of his return, and the end of “all things”
In the Bible, Jesus says: “No one knows the hour or the day, except my Father.”
Jehovah God will do things according to his own timetable. — Not according to the Mayan Calendar.
Could they coincide?
Of course.
But I wouldn’t bet on that happening.
.
I fear most will perish in the winter of 2012…
judgement day is coming
s.o.s.
save our souls.
or
r.i.p.
rot in peices
Not a bit. Every few decades another end of the world scenario erupts.
Remember 2000?
There is not use of spending time on thinking about it. If you spend your time on research and come to a conclusion that its true, what you are gonna do? Enjoy? And you cannot guarantee its wrong either, since its prediction. So just live your life as your living in right now. In fact its good to die with all people rather than alone!
Total hoo-ha and the author of this post should be ashamed of himself for adding to the sensationalism and fearmongering surrounding this ridiculousness.
The world is not going to end on Dec 21, 2012, the Mayan calendar just starts over because its the beginning of a new 5000 yr cycle that their calendar runs on.
I don’t believe in it.
TRY NEW THINGS!!!!
I think it all comes down to nothing, to be honest. Though we can conceivably understand how the Mayan’s predicted most solar phenomenon, there is absolutely no evidence that they had any real way of predicting the end of the world. That and, I believe research tells us that the Mayan calender simply ends on December 21, 2012. It does not specifically spell out “Doomsday”.
If it is the end of the world, then so be it. Worrying about it isn’t going to do a single bit of good.
“But, to be fair, this same cosmic occurrence has happened many times before, most recently between August 2001 and May 2002, and we came through it just fine.”
Really think about that for a second.
It’s all cool and stuff. but I highly doubt it. Remember Y2k? that was supposed to be the end of the world too and when we let off the Atom bombs we didn’t know if they would just explode or continue a chain reaction. I’d rather not know if it was the end though. because I would much rather just live my life like it is. I like it
I wish people would take the time to google the Mayan calendar. The Mayan prophecy states that December 21, 2012 is the “End of an Era/Age”.
Historians name periods of time “ages”, just like we’ve named the “Industrial age.”.
December 21, 2012 is the end of a Long Count era of 5,126 year period. That’s it. In fact, Mayan’s believe it is cause for celebration, not terror.
People are just stupid, and believe “hollywood” notions, without looking up anything.
I hope people freak out on December 21, 2012… because when we all wake up on December 22, 2012, I am going to laugh my butt off!
no. not worried.
Fake…the calendar was just going to end (source: Yahoo! Answers
), and the Mayans were actually going to celebrate it.
Personally, I believe the “Saturn and Pluto Opposition” is rubbish. It is a 33-year cycle however, that kind of positioning will not happen again till 2034, though in 2019 we will observe Saturn transiting Pluto. The “Opposition” will not take place in or around 2012. Just wanted to throw that out.
No I don’t believe the Mayan “Prophecy” of 2012… especially because there was no prophecy about a doomsday (arguably).
If I knew it to be true, I’d spend the last three years visiting the most beautiful places on earth.
What is this ? Another Al Gore’s film about global warming?
I know we shouldn’t think of death, but it’s so depressing how all you people in this world are ruining each others lives when ANY OF US COULD DIE EVEN TOMORROW. I mean people are always telling me “life is short you should live each day like it’s your last”
Uh yeah is it really that hard to wake up & realize if everyone stopped judging each other life would actually be enjoyable?
Well, obviously, no, I don’t believe in “the Mayan prophecy”. In fact, we document that there *is* no “Mayan prophecy”.
No not at all becuse that stuff never happens,plus God knows,and said he would not destroy the earth again and im not a gullible person.
This hooey, like the “Y2K” scare and others is just that – hogwash and balderdash to try and scare folks and (more likely then not) promote books, movies, etc that people will rush to buy and see. The only Truth re: the end of this earth and the creation of the New Earth is found in Scripture – the Word of God, especially in the Book of Revelation. Sadly, there will be many more that will follow the enemy and his minions, believing their lies, instead of the Truth from God……this was Prophesied over 2000 years ago and is now coming to fruition !!!
The Mayans are mysteriously knowledgeable, and this prophecy intrigues me to no end.
Right now, I’m only a high school senior. I guess I’d keep living my life as normal as possible e.g. go to college, blah blah blah……
Do I believe it? I’m kind of half/half. But the month before that night? I’ll be so scared, my bed’ll be wet EVERY night!!
wtf,
hell no it is not freaken true!
jeez only stupid people think that
I hope it doesnt happen cos then i will miss out on my birthday that year lol and Christmas
But no I dont believe it will happen
I think its just some mumbo jumbo someone made up but im lookin forward to watchin the movie. The trailer looks promising
“they” have created all this hype around 2012 in the same way they created the hype of Y2K. The Mayans knew of the significance of 2012, but it’s not the end of the world as “they” would want you to believe. 2012 signifies the end of our current age, the age of evil and ignorance and ushers in the new age, the age of wisdom. “they” think they’re going to win the ultimate battle, but “they” are sadly mistaken…
Not true. Exactly, it’s just hype, plus, only God knows the day of judgment.
What’s the point of god letting the word slip out when he knows that people will start repenting like crazy when they find out the date?
No no no no no it isnt happening. Any amount of research will tell you the world isnt ending. Hell, even the Mayans dont believe the world is ending…
I don’t believe on it, like the article said, everyone thought that we were going to die on 1999 because it was 666 upside down, but nothing happened, I believe the Mayans believed that instead of the end it would be the BEGINNING of a new era, I also believe I am the first to comment
No, I don’t believe it, but IF i did, I would spend it normally as I would have if there was no ‘end of the world’ at all.
If I try to do all the things I’ve ever wanted, it’ll just be a reminder that I’m doing it cause I’m going to die, so that’ not good.
Hah, I agree completely. I heard somewhere that the Maya’s actually CELEBRATE this time of year.
total bullshit
Though it does kinda scary, most of me doesn’t believe that the world will end.
I believe the world will end when the Sun becomes a Red Giant (or something like that).
Sorry, But, personally, I don’t believe that “HYPE” as you call it about the doomsday of 2012. it’s all a bunch of rubbish, and crap about it. and you know what’s even worse? Christians are running like mad about it, trying to get every single soul into their religion. That’s what really bothers me the most. but, I seriously do not believe that the world will fall to pieces around december 21, 2012. The End Of Days. Oh, and btw, Ive seen a lot of those rediculous movies about the end times. In all of the publicity, it didn’t phaze me about it being the end. I would read ads on the equirer(sp?), and other mags about the end times. I would get so mad and frustrated about the article, and it made me mad that people would believe this kind of shit. It’s awful that people, especially the christian people would go so nuts about it. And yes, I do remember the Y2K shit. what a crock!
Well, Thanks for sharing the article. I seen it on yahoo answers, and I had to read about it. LOL to myself.
Thanks bro for the article.
* Correction: I meant I don’t believe it’ll end in 2012.
This blog post is going to encourage all the crazy and deluded people on here that believe the world is going to end in 2012. Can’t the Yahoo! Answers team post anything more worthwhile, and more importantly, sane?
I am not worried. I am gonna marry that day and you all are invited.
well nothing wll happen
I don’t believe in that, but sadly, there are a lot of people who will. The world was supposidly supposed to end on January 1, 2000, and yet here we are. Then they changed their minds and said it was next year and so on and so on.
im mostly worried about whats gonna happen tomorrow than in 2012.No i dont expect the end of the world.Thats ridiculous!
What???? You guys are crazy. Yea… the end of the world??? Watch out!!!! It just might come to a screaming halt on that day… NOT. Go build a bomb shelter!!! Dumbest crap Ive heard since Obama took over as President! And, if it does…. what are you going to do? Run, run, run… ha!
Yes, the end of the world will come but only god knows when it will happen and not even a human knows about it.
Im really depressed right now. I can’t stand that hype any longer. This made me turn into a emo. I was once a normal person before. Oh well it will be all over when it comes. =(
I definately dont believe in this and if i was pointed with a gun and asked to believe in this id probably just ask to be shot.
whoever thinks the world is going to end in 2012 has been watching too many movies.
I beleive it is highly possible but not definite, and I also beleive the movie 2012 will be based on the stupid theory, rather than the scientifically probable theory. If your saying to ignore 2012 as hype, simply like Y2K, that would be foolish. Y2K had no real evidence to support any of its theory. Also, one could argue that its more of a cycle of the calender, resetting and just going back to one, not ‘the end’, as I do not beleive there are any words on the calendar saying “Doomsday” or anything of the sort? Also,
“The idea that a planet-sized object could possibly collide with Earth in the near future is not supported by any scientific evidence and has been roundly rejected as pseudoscience by astronomers and planetary scientists.”
You may like to visit http://www.bautforum.com/archive/index.php/t-6091.html for a little information / understanding
No, I’m NOT.
End of the world my a**, only an idiot would believe in a prophecy such as this.
i cant believe that the whole worls is leaving out logic and following some cavemen’s signs to the end of the worls… when all thee rumors are made to distract the humans from any another serious disasters that the who-ever-made-this-up is gonna enflict on all of s.
there is no such thing as the end of the world in 2012, it is the same bull like the y2k THING
And u all will see i’m right on december 21 two years from now.
rather that focusing on fake things focus on real tragedies, like zionists’ global domination – they have every excuse to spread the end of the worls rumor.
No, my not scared of Dec 21, 2012. I don’t believe in those types of things. If we all die on that day then of course it would be horrible because that’s when I graduate from high school! I mean, I’ve been working really hard at school just to get good grades and if the world ended on that day then everything was for nothing! NOTHING!
When it’s the 11th year of the 11th month of the 11th day of the 11th hour of the 11th minute of the 11th second i’m going to make a wish that we’re not going to die on the Dec 21, 2012.
Because there is no modern scientific evidence to suggest that the world will end in 2012, I have no reason to believe that it will. I give the Mayans a lot of credit for being quite advanced for their time, but over the last couple of hundred years science and technology have advanced exponentially. We are capable of knowing way more now than they were then. If they were able to predict the end of the world with the knowledge and technology of their time, we should also be able to do it now.
There have been so many speculations about the end of the world. People always have something to say and appeal to others life, why not to forget about it and just live our life. A lot of us tought that 6-6-06 was going to be the end of the world and many specialist said that something was going to happen 9-9-09 and NOTHING happened. But if this time something does happen, what can we possibly do about it?. And answering your question, since theres nothing that can actually prove 100% surely that the world is going to end Dec. 21, 2012 , Im going to keep living my life just they way i am doing it now and the way i have planned but if anything, since now on im going to try to be more useful and take advantage of life and its opportunities.
I don’t know whether it will happen or not i mean the film ‘knowing’ was going on about how the world will end on october 16th but it never did.
But for some reason this is more believeable as you said about that the Mayans were very good predictors and that thing about Pluto and Saturn is supposed to happen around that time which is a pretty scary accurate prediction.
So if the world is too end then we might as well make the most of it, go sky diving or bungee jumping, after all we only live once so make the most of it.
the world will not end. it’s all just hype talk for media, news, movies, just ways to make another dollar. our computers didn’t crash in 2000. and I world won’t sink into a black hole in 2012.
The only thing interesting about 2012 is that it’s the next President election year which will more than likely over shadow this end of days bull pucky.
I sure hope they are wrong because that is my sisters birthday and that would be a real bum-er!!!!I feel it’s all in the hands upstairs and we are just waiting to see what he brings us next.Who really knows?????
Hah. Interesting. But I don’t believe that 12-12-12 will be the end of the word. Only God knows when that final day will come. Maybe some natural event will come that day, but that doesn’t mean that will be the end of the world.
nothing will happen. nothing happened the last 100 million times so why should this time be any different!!?? serriously people, nothing will happen!! people who think it’s going to happen have been watching to many disaster movies.
the worst that could happen is some conicidence like the boxing day tsunami..
yes, one day there will be a disaster that will slowly take out human kind, but it will be over Time, not all at once in one day. that’s ridiculous. it will happen slowly.. were not ment to be here for ever, and why does us leaving earth have to have some dramatic effect that all happens just like a disaster movie. gezz
http://blogonomicon.blogspot.com/2008/05/don-cancel-your-plans-for-2013.html
read this. It explains the Mayan Calendar. The world will NOT end!!! The calendar just starts over, just like ours each year, after december 31.
Oh good heavens – You too?
The Mayans knew nothing about astronomy – and astrology is just silly. They certainly had no knowledge whatsoever of Pluto, which wasn’t even discovered until a few decades ago.
I like a good science fiction story as well as anyone. I grew up on Arthur C. Clarke and Robert Heinlein. But this is just intended to scare kids for the profit of the scaremongers. I thought you guys were not in that business. How sad.
Interesting to think about a limited time in our lives. My 13 yr. old granddaughter was just talking about this a few days ago and says she definitely wants to live to be older than 16!
Well, if we stop to consider…we are all on a limited time clock anyway and none of us know right now how long our lives will be…so I guess the point is to always live each day and know how blessed we are to have that.
Hey Mike !
I totaly love end-of-the world movies ! Of course, I do not believe any of it…I would travel the world.
This is a strange time when 3 different sources tell us that there will be disasters. The Bible says that no one will know the day or the hour. But it will happen, it says. Why the Mayan calendar ends in 2012? Anyone could guess, but something is going to happen soon. Did we not see the Philippines being attacked by one after another typhoons less than a week apart? Strange, and these were in the North and not in the South where they usually appear there. If we see much more pestilence as is predicted, then we better look at the Bible as it does predict this. Earl
The Myans NEVER predicted “Tha End!!!” Their calendar justs stops there (Dec 21) Actually some Myan Emperors predicted events well into the year 4000 … research it – it’s just modern day whacko’s tryint to make money off the “easy believers!”
maybe my life will be done before the mayan prophecy,….who knows????anyway we have to get ready to leave this world anytime,……
once upon…() my younger brother talked to me; to said me… how he was worried about our mom future…we talked about it for the next 5 years,..suddenly he left our world so early ,,,thats why i dont care about dates…even though that.; im mexican .and mayas r so important in our culture but….dead comes even if u r ready to welcome it or not,…(sorry for my bad english)
Well, it just says the calendar is going to end, thats it. Just end, then nothing happens. Time will go on
FOR EVAH!
I would like to spend my last 3 years on earth dancing with flower fairies. No. I think this 2012 story is a total sham also. Mayans existed almost 1,000 years ago. They didn’t even have the same calendar as we have today. Besides, if the Mayans knew that the world was going to end, wouldn’t they know exactly what was going to happen to Earth itself?
I believe this world will end. Yes. I do. I have done the research. The squaring-off between Saturn and Pluto will cause Earth to be destroyed. If global warming does not get us first, then 2012 will. Please take caution and tell your families that you love them, because this world WILL end.
Could this be wishful thinking?
I think that it is more likely that we will create our own fate, and we will have ourselves to blame
Either that or we will find world peace
If I knew my end with any degree of certitude I would play the only card left to me by doing what I could to ease the pain of my passing on those who loved me. By focusing on that I would at least go knowing I did the best I could for those I left behind.
The Mayans never actually brought up a “doomsday”, the calendar we have just stops there in 2012. Or well actually it stops in the 2200′s, the 2012 date was a miscalculation as we learned last week.
Still, it doesn’t signify anything – the calendar in your agenda ends at december 31st, 2009, that doesn’t mean the world will end.
It’s a baseless hype people want to believe in, for the same reason they believe in apocalyptic religions, for the same reason they believed the current president could bring about a complete overhaul of a nation in a matter of weeks – people want radical change to the status quo and they want it yesterday, preferably without any effort on their part.
All this end of the world predictions are funny for me because i turn 18 on that day, December 21 is my birthday… what are the chances.
No.
The Mayans ran out of rock.
And you’re needlessly scaring dumb people with this article.
NOW I’M SCARED!!! :’(
no, I am not worried. The calendar ends, it doesn’t say “end of the world”. My wall calender upstairs ends on December 31st, that doesn’t mean the world ends.
The calendar ends, that’s all
I actullay wouldnt even believe that the world will end and i will never either! I know that no one on this planet can say an actual date, ONLY God knows!
Im just gonna act like i didnt see this article. (its nice but i dont believe it) Im going to continue my life, and enjoy it always, no matter what.People dont believe this!!!!!!!! 
Well if 12/21/12 is true I wont have to save up to purchase christmas presents.
I don’t believe it. It’s just a prediction. There’s no truly evidence that it will happen. A huge forces need to destroy earth. The “Pluto and Saturn” incident won’t affect our planet. Everything will be just fine.
OMG! Dec 31 is a little over a month away. 2009 will be over. It’s the end of the world!
no wait, Nov 30 is a few weeks away. The month will be over. OMG! THAT’S the end of the world!
no wait, Sunday is 3 days away. it’s the end of the week! OMG! It’s the end of the world! We’re all gonna die!!!!!
Not watching this suck of a movie would be one of them.
there was no prophecy. They did have an advanced astrological knowledge, and calculated a calendar, very accurate and predicted astrological phenomena, and what date will coincide with what day of the week. They calculated it till 2012, and then stopped – they thought it was far enough. It’s like these modern calendars which tell you what date will be the first Saturday of November 2030, for example. They did it once, then they posted their calculation in their cathedrals and wrote it in their books. They did not mean it as the end of the world – just the end of their calculations. They thought that they calculated it far
enough to last their ancestors for centuries. They could go on, but did not see any sense in it. Do not forget, too, that their calculations then had to be transferred to stone and hand written books – a very hard long labour.
They just did not bother to calculate for even longer term – that is all. Now the commercial hype is trying to make something of nothing.
Anyone with an art degree will tell you this, if you bother to ask them.
The end of the world has been predicted so many times and yet, we’re still here. Although as the time passes on I’m sure that one of these crazies gets it right and this all will come to an end but I’m positive it wont be at 2012. How do I know? Well I’m just too young to die yet. There, thats my prediction, If I’m wrong, sue me. Oh yeah, you cant cause you’ll be dead.
Honestly, I am a bit scared about this. Also, I think when people create movies like this, and put them out there for the whole world to see, then it is a bit terrifying. My step mom always tells me, “Oh don’t worry about it. You’ll be living past 2012! They’ve said a lot of things, and they have never happened.” But honestly, you can’t be too sure. & to answer your question, how would I spend my next 3 years? Living it up to the best of my abilities.
1) I don’t listen to any such thing.
2) So, of course I am not worried about. However, I am worried about those who get worried about it.
3) Those liars who fable such things are going to suffer intensely when they face God and are going to be thrown to hell.
4) God controls the cause of everything, life will end someday but it is going to happen when he wants it to happen, and no one in the world has any clue on when that day would be.
5) Hold back, before the end of the life happens, Imam Al-Mahdi and Messiah (Jesus) will return to Fill the earth with justice and equity as filled with injustice and oppression.
Bless
Im not worry at all. because jesus is going to come for all his people. people who have been saved by jesus chirst. jesus christ died in the cross for all of us people. he just needs you to forgive your sins. if you dont get saved you are going to live in a living hell on this earth. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world. (Revelations 12:9)
ok im so tired of this crap no one freaking knows when the world end everybody thought the same thing in 1999 nothing freaking happen no one knows when gods gonna come no one so im tired of this crap it scares me and im so tired of it and that movie there making just show there a bunch of idioits who think they know everything get life people you dont no crap go get a life
Saturn and Pluto, idk – I read it’s about the alignment between our sun and the black hole in the center of our galaxy, which happens at much longer intervals.
Since modern astrnomers only announced it’s existence with any certainty on Sept. 5 of ’01, there hasn’t been lots of time to drum up much supportable theory about exactly what we can expect. THAT invites infinite speculation, so if we must, enjoy.
2012…could it be that the Mayan’s figured 5000 years was as far as they would go in their calendar and that someone else would continue it on for them????
One of my favorite movies had a quote that sums it up perfectly. “A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it” ( Kay Men in Black)
you should be more worried about december 21st 2009 because codex is taking over food globally and they are going to take all nutrients and minerals and vitamins out of the food so people are going to die from malnutrition and not even know it pretty shortly.. educate yourself http://www.infowars.com
Thanks for this blog chum. It was really very helpful for me to overcome mine as well as my friends’ fears…thnx again!!!
No, there is no Mayan prophecy that says anything is going to happen on Dec 21 2012, that’s baloney put about because the calendar doesn’t go past that date. The calendar ends because of one thing: the people who made it didn’t make it last any longer.
It’s a nice idea and has peaked lots of interest but it’s just like saying what will happen when they land on the moon and find it’s made out of cheese. It’s not true.
Worry solves nothing.It’s my birthday,I’m sagittarius, it’s the winter solstice and nothing will happen to destroy the day. What more can I ask for?
The Mayas chose 2012′s solstice as the end of the calendric era, much like the end of the Age of Pisces, or the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. *We* misinterpreted that (or just used it as the basis of a flight of fancy) to make a movie and a lot of hype. Do we really believe that all those horror flicks will come true? Flat-Earthers will believe anything – even that the end of a calendar era is the end of the world.
Ask this question again on December 22, 2012 (and see how many people believe that the world is ending and we just got the date wrong).
Yes, i unfortunately think it will come true. If I knew it was going to happen I would quit school. I’d work a lot for the first 1-2 years so I can save money. Then, i’d quit work and go on vacation, travel the world for the remainder of my days! I would also try to survive the doomsday by gathering water, food and equpment….that kind of stuff.
I agree with what you said. Yes, the calendar ends 2012, but I don’t think the world’s going to end then.
The “end of the world” will only come when God says so. No man knows the hour or day. Only God.

Well, I’m not to go too far into trusting the wisdom of ancient, dead cultures (you really don’t run across many Mayans these days) who decorated with human skulls. …just not my thing.
Yes I admit I’m a bit worried but I’m already fully stocked on Cell Tech so whatever happens I’ll be prepared
Well, the Mayan’s didn’t last until 2012, so their end of calender predictions are about as good as those programmers who anly allowed 2 digits for the year.
If the Mayans were still around and had computers, they’d be panicing to fix their Y2k12 bug.
Next major date incident, is the Y2k38 bug from the 32 bit Unix date format, and if you think a shade under 30 years is plenty of time, then think about 30 year mortgage calculations, pensions etc.
The other thing lurking, is asteroid 99942 Apophis, making a close pass that may set it up for a higher risk pass later.
Anyone who is worried about 2012 should simply
pick up a copy of the November/December 2009
issue of “Archaeology” magazine. There’s a fine article (beginning on page 30) about Maya timekeeping and Maya predictions.
Needless to say, there is no reason to fear 2012.
I say we should not be scared by that live our live then get scared wen the 2012 comes but i dont think it may be te end of the world, maybe something not normal or a change in the world may hapen but like who cares its 2009 and I wana live this day happy not in a bunker scared by a date.
Well I cant say nothing about the mayan just that they where really good atronomers.
But lets live oru lives today and not tomarow.
hi i believe that when its time for an end to the world,the good lord will see to this,he will call us to his side and whatever will be will be. this is what i m led to believe.
I don’t think it is true, but it really makes u think about life and how it could end at any time.
Not worried at all. Prophecies such as this come up occasionally. All of them have a theme of impending doom. And they all turn out to be untrue.
no because whatever happens is whats meant to happen, av had fun so am not bothered!
x
thats all a lie God has the date when the earths ends. He will come back for his people who believe him.
There is no Mayan doomsday prophecy concerning Dec. 21, 2012. Like the other doomsday “predictions” about 2012, it’s a complete fabrication. Your own company reported this.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091011/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/lt_mexico_apocalypse2012
“Definitely not, the Mayan Indian elder insists. ‘I came back from England last year and, man, they had me fed up with this stuff.’”
The Mayans never made such a prophecy so there is no such thing to believe in. Do i believe in the prophecy made up by Josè Argülles that has been credited to the Mayans? No way! It’s just BS created to make money on people’s fear.
I wouldn’t change a thing, no matter if I knew I’d die tomorrow or 100 years from now. I’m living my life the best way I can and it can’t get better.
I don’t believe it. BUT if it does happen I would be scared that it would happen before Chrismas! NO PRESENTS!
It’s unfortunate that article reports another fabrication, that the earth’s axis will align precisely with the center of the galaxy on that date. I’m grateful at least that a few lines past the statement that “That will happen on Dec. 21, 2012″, they have a quote from Phil Plait pointing out that it won’t, in fact, happen on that date. And even if it does, so what? It points there now.
thatz stupid
I don’t believe in 2012
but have you looked into Isaac Newton’s prediction? Based on biblical accounts he said the world would end at around 2063. I find it interesting he also predicted the holocaust within a few years of it actually happening. I find that more believable for some reason.
According to me all this is rubbish regarding 2012.At last we cannot get rid of this fact that we are human beings and how can we predict regarding doomsday.its like that we predict that human will live for a century . its right that technology is developed but its not enough developed that it could predict that earth is at stage of dooms day or not.
I think its really annoying when people make predictions about other peoples lives. I am a christian and always will be and he can only know when my time on earth is up. I also think its ignorant for people to share there inaccurate opinions about when you are going to die, and people should just shut the hell up. Thanks have a good day!
I totally believe in 2012, but I think it will be a spiritual thing. I also believe that the magnetic fields will be changing with in the 3 year period before during and after 2012. Things like cell phones, computers and satalites will have a harder time working.
i don’t believe this
“Wow, I have 3 years to live.. wow.. -cries-” There you are sir, that is how I would spend it, if I knew it was for real.. But, we’ve had HOW many predictions of the world ending? Come on now. Its all a load of crapp.
There is no “prophecy” regarding that date. The calender just ends on that date. There is no doomsday implied. This misunderstanding, I believe, will cause much panic and undue stress. There are too many websites with bogus facts, with sites that cite other sites that cite NASA. Please, please check NASAs website for yourself.
The Mayans didn’t choose that date as ‘doomsday’ — it’s simply the end of a calendar cycle, analogous to a millennium in our own calendar.
http://www.giagia.co.uk/2008/01/23/apocalympics-2012/
I’m a bit disgusted that you’re encouraging the scientific ignorance on Y!A by giving even the slightest bit of credence to an idea that has only really been hyped up because of an upcoming trashy thriller movie.
Idk what i think is going to happen. I’m not affraid though and find it all very interesting to follow.
I would live my life to the fullest and just be happy.
Isnt that what life is about anyway?
I find it difficult to believe that the ancient Mayans would know of Plutos existence.
The theories that I’ve heard involve crossing the galactic equator which is referred to by the ancient Mayans as the Great Rift. However the suggestion that crossing the galactic equator causes gravity to reverse is ludicrous, it’s just that if you express the gravitational force between the Earth, Sun and the center of the Galaxy as a vector in a co-ordinate system with one axis perpendicular to the galactic plane and with the arbitrary zero point of that axis at the plane then that value goes from a positive value to a negative value but the magnitude remains the same so nothing actually reverses and it’s only people that don’t understand co-ordinate systems that think something reversed.
Also, there is no known ancient Mayan writings that state that the end of their calendar is associated with apocalyptic events, no mention of end of life just end of the calendar cycle. Almost all Mayan texts were destroyed by the Spaniards so we will never truly know how the ancient Mayans view the end of their calendar but I suspect it would be with some rather large celebration.
i dont think…no wait…am sure there’s no doomsday in 2012 !
“I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.”
- – Albert Einstein
In other words, live for today,
not for what tomorrow may bring
nor for what the past has wrought.
I would spend my time waiting for, and preparing for, God, of course. However, the end of the world is supposed to be October 21, 2011, with the saints being drawn to heaven (the rapture) on May 21, 2011, according to one well known preacher. I’m ready! Can’t wait!

There is only 1(one), end of the world prophecy that counts and that is predicted by Science in apprx 5 billion years when our sun goes Nova.
All other end of the world prophecies including the bible are so veg they are not prophecies but just guesses and bad ones to boot.
this is stupied the only person that know when we will die is the good lord.
i just can’t waite to see everyones face when nothing happens!!! and how stupied they must feel!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, something major WILL happen. Other cultures have said something about this date,too. But, I believe that the world will simply change, possibly for the better. Our awareness level will increase, and the human race will evolve to a higher level.
But, if for some reason I’m wrong, and I only have 3 years, 1 month and 16 days left to live, I’ll be watching anime, reading manga and listening to my favorite music. Plus, I’ll be glad that I left college behind and just enjoy life.
of course i am i’m horrified!
I simply quote one of my answers to the many questions on this subject in the Astronomy section of Y!A:
There is no evidence to suggest that the Mayans even believe it themselves
The following is taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesoamerican_Long_Count_calendar#2012_and_the_Long_Count
We [the archaeological community] have no record or knowledge that [the Maya] would think the world would come to an end” in 2012. “For the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle,”
To render December 21, 2012, as a doomsday event or moment of cosmic shifting, she says, is “a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in.”
Yahoo Answers is UTTERLY irresponsible for posting this on its home page. There are stupid people out there who actually believe this stuff, and you are doing nothing more than taking advantage of their fear.
Very, very low.
No i am not worry about the year 2012, The Mayans never predicted the world was going to end. but a beginning of a new era. this is just Hollywood shamelessly exposing peoples fears for money. that’s all they care about. shame on you Yamster for posting this blog here. you know there are some teenagers who are afraid of this. just remember the bible says 120 times, the world will never end
At first I didn’t believe it.. Now that the movie makes it look so frightening I believe it. If I knew that was true I would be using valuable time to try to build something to get us the hell outta here. I’d just try to enjoy it.
That’s an interesting point you argue Richard. There is a lot more below the surface of this prediction than first appears however.
What the Mayan Calendar really talks about is the end of the current evolutionary phase of man. The calendar stopped because everything up to that point had occurred as predicted and beyond was no longer relevant as we enter into a new phase of man.
The 21st December 2012 date is the start of this new era. On this date the world won’t suddenly end for us all, this date is the first day when everything begins to change for us and in a very noticeable way.
Scientists and astronomers are in agreement that every 25,800 years the earth passes through a point in our solar system know as the galactic equator.
Furthermore, we align perfectly with the sun and the centre of our galaxy, known as the dark rift.
Now in the past 5 years astronomers have discovered there is a super black hole there, with an enormous pull of gravity.
When all of this is combined together, when Earth passes through the galactic equator and this gravitational pull the Earth axis are forced to shift by approximately 40 degrees.
History and geologists have proved this has happened in the past. The current north and south poles are just the latest poles, but many different points on the earth have been out polar caps in the past.
When the poles shift, the Earth undergoes major change. When the ice caps melt, the resultant affects will create a new surface on the planet. This in turn starts a chain reaction of global events, again backed up by evidence from the past.
Of all the dates to become most aware of is February 14th 2013. This is when Earth will be right at the centre of the galactic equator and the gravitational pull is so great as to stop the Earth rotation for 3 days.
Added into this equation of change is the super planet Nibiru, our lesser known 10th planet. This Jupiter sized giant has an orbit of 3,600 years and is already approaching to pass Earth again.
For those who star gaze, you may have noticed a bright new one appear in the southern sky. Over the next coming months this will grow larger until by 2013 will be so visible as to appear as a new moon in our sky.
With such a massive planet being in such close proximity to Earth by 2013, the gravitational influence on us will have a huge impact.
Our tiny moon guides our tidal flow with gravity, so you have an idea what the gravity from a planet the size of Jupiter can do for the oceans.
By 2014 much of this global change will have passed and we’ll be ‘out of the woods’ so to speak. Nibiru will have passed Earth and we will be well passed the galactic equator. And this is where the next evolution of man begins.
Having gone through global change, mass de-population of people and extinction of many of our plants and animals mankind is going to have a very different world to begin again from.
This is why the Mayan Calendar stopped as the world that was before just has no relevance to the world that was about to be created.
We can all fob this off as just another disaster story but unlike everything else, science can back up almost every part of this one with proof from the past and evidence from now, such as Nibiru.
Hopefully those that survive into this new world will create the world we should have today, one of love, harmony and peace. Unfortunately our world has become overrun by greedy evil men intent on total control over us all and they’ve done a dam good job with their lies, deceit and totalitarian control through the media. I for one welcome this new world that’s coming! I only hope I live to see it for myself.
For those who doubt this prediction of 2012, maybe you’re right. For those who believe it, I can really only say make sure to be on high ground around that time and make the best preparations ahead of these dates. Either way, our world is heading for major change over the next few years.
Peace and love for life!
I am not that threatened by 2012.. The same kind of ‘threat’ also happened during the 90′s when some people claimed that year 2000 will be the end of the world.. Guess what, we’re on 2009 now..
Gosh, yes!! Skyscrapers falling on me, meteors hitting me. Adam Lambert strolling through the streets, singing at the top of his lungs (well, I wouldn’t mind seeing that, actually).
If the world ends, I won’t live through it, so I won’t care about it, will I? Not for very long, anyway.
Please note, the word is “Mayans” not “Mayas”.
Pffffffft. Don’t worry nothing will happen. It will just be one of those days where people will panic and nothing happens. Then they will all be feeling rather silly for believing the world was going to end. But if it is going to end (I try to keep an open mind) then I will be grateful for everything that I have accomplished even though I’m only 15! HA!
yes..I don’t know what to wear!
Whatever will be will be. Most of us are unable to predict the future. We have no control over mother nature and the future. As the saying goes today is today and yesterday is in the past, but tomorrow never comes. Life happens.
Hi,
Didn’t read the whole thing, but, hey, let’s face it: the world is always ending somewhere…
I don’t pay any attention to these “prophecies” – any village **** can come up with an “end-of-the-world” prophecy…
Ok, so what if it “stopped” then, how would it stop? Would it burn up? Stop spinning? Disappear? Black hole? Martians??? Please. The real path is the one of realism. Be realistic.
Live NOW, live HAPPY!

Finally an article that makes a bit of sense. 2012 looks like a great movie, but the world actually ending? C’mon… Besides, the Mayan calender doesn’t even end in 2012, it just starts a new cycle, and all the scientific theories are just that – theories.
I’m not looking forward to 2012 admittedly, not because I fear doomsday, but because of all the hypebole and hysteria that will be going around. And the ones who’ll be making money everytime you talk about it? Hollywood and those guys who sell “I survived 2012″ t-shirts.
Not at all. Even though the Mayan calender ends soon, note that our calenders end too.
In fact, my calender ended yesterday. I don’t look very dead.
I imagine that the Mayan calender, like ours just needs renewing when it ends.
Your calender ends, you don’t lay on the ground and wait for the earth to fall apart. You go to the store and get one for 2009-2010.
Same for the Mayan calender. I imagine they were hoping they’d be around to make another calender around this time.
I can’t believe Yahoo are giving this any credibility at all. Particularly as the 2012 trolsl are quite possibly the single most disruptive influence on the Astronmy and Space section. Yahoo has shown time and again they have no interest in fixing such problems but actively promoting such nonsense here is only going to make things worse.
Yes, 2012 will happen, right after 2011. It will nto be the end of the world. In this account it is also interesting how the Mayans were able to predict the position of Pluto millenia ago, when it was not even discovered until 1939….
If anything is going to happen, it’s going to be rebirth, not the end of the world.
The mayans couldn’t even predict their own extinction, & you are going to believe that they could predict the end of the world?

Sure we are going to die!
Like we were all going to die when all the 9 planets all lined up?
Like we were all going to die at Y2K?
Like we were all going to die on 6/6/06?
its just another drama created by our very responsible media……
No, I am not. The Myan calendar does note predict the end of the world in 2012, it just merely ends there. Nothing prophetic about it.
No, God is in control. You worry if you aren’t saved. I’d be afraid too, if I wasn’t born again!
Earth is billions of years old and will continue to exist in billions of years to come. During Earth’s life span; it changes daily and will continue to do so after we die. Just look at all of the islands that keep popping up in the oceans all of the time…due to earthquake activity. Ethopia has found a rift 35-miles long and up to 20 ft. wide in spots…..a new ocean is forming.
Therefore, 12/21/20012 is nothing but a bunch of pure B.S.
First I’d like to say, no, I do not belive in the Dec. 21, 2012 Mayan prophecy. If it were true, I’d like to spend the last 3 years of my life tightening relationships with family and freinds. I’d also continue as normal, but would live more carefree and try to have a little extra fun from time to time, but only up unto the last few days or so…
It’s only predictions, but of course people are gullible enough to buy into it. :3
There is nothing to be worried about only the Lord God knows when the earth will end… it could end tomorrow, or it could end in the year 5287… no one knows when the earth will end.
it’s a prediction of the end of a mayan cycle..not the end of the world. and who cares if the world ended- we’d all be going together!
I’ll admit, when I first heard about this ‘prophecy’, I was scared to death, and literally lied in my bed for days crying, as pathetic as that sounds. But after reading this, and other user’s comments, I now feel pretty safe, and able to brush it off and laugh. Thanks for bringing this up Richard. It’s made me feel SO much better.
As for what I would do if there was proof that it would happen..probably the same as another user stated–just doing what I’m doing now. What’s the point in spending thousands of dollars on an education for university if everything’s going to be lost in 3 years? Why not spend it on things like trips, to see the rest of the world, or go on some grand adventure? That’s what I would mostly likely do.
This is not true.How you know the date did god tell u that?The world is gonna end when we all least expect it.It can happen any moment any day.2012 is bull.
I’m scared!Really,i am!
This is just another cycle. We’re going to keep going through these apocalypse hypes until someone realizes that it’s not as bad as one would have thought it would be. It was the same as Y2K and 6/6/06 (Remember? Everyone thought the devil was going to “rise up”?) and it’s the same now. Even if you look at it through an astrological aspect, the energies of 2012 are supposed to be PHENOMINAL. It’s supposed to be a year of positive change or turning a new leaf, if you will. The hype behind the apocalypse theory is just by sensationalists and marketing that want us to buy their survival kits and training DVDs. How many of you still have your jumbo first-aid kits and non-perishible foods from the last apocalypse hype? I know I do!
The Mayans didn’t know about Pluto. It was not discovered until the 1840′s, earliest. And then, it was only an educated guess based upon minute fluctuations in the orbit of Uranus.
Unless the Mayans had help from other worlders, there’s no great explanation for knowing of Pluto’s existence. That is a formidable problem with the author’s write-up.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluto#Discovery
Do tell us how the Mayans knew about Pluto when it’s about 10,000 times too faint to be seen with the naked eye.
Why spoil things by lapsing into astrological bunkum about Jupiter and Pluto?
The Mayans didn’t predict doomsday.
There is no particular astronomical event associated with that date except the solstice, a routine annual occurrence.
Pffffttt no. I was more worried about those idiots messing around trying to make a black hole.
ok im 15 years old and i remembered when my teacher first showed us this movie about the mayans….and when they said the thing about the world ending everybody in my class just went bananas!!!!! and we’ve been stuck on it since. then it kind of died down…all the talk and stuff. but then i saw the commercial about the “2012″ movie. and i was freaked. i mean i really dont know what to say about all this they say the mayans have been right about time and stuff sooo i dont know… but tthen again i graduate in 2012 so i hope it doesnt end.! but yea me and all my classmates are kinda of worried about this….but like a lot of people…i’ll believe it when it happens….
WOW it is never going to happen on 2012 no body knows when it will happen its impossible to predict the day we die and impossible the day we all die only 1 knows and 1 and there are signs before the end of the world iv seen some of them but not all with the ozone layer getting wider and wider day by day we all will be doomed by the sun
just face it.a calendar that could predict eclipses years ahead of their time.this is probably true.if we are to survive this dont act like cowards and denie the truth.stand up for yourself
No I am not scared at all. I think it’s the same BS that has been fed us for decades. First it was the 2000 thing now this? Come on! Any idiot would know that it’s fake! Why should I buy into their crap?
How many times have we heard about prophecies telling us about the end of the world and nothing happened? It is not that the world is going to last forever (specially when humans keep wasting all the natural resources like there is nothing more important than our own comfort), but this prophecies have taught me that people can only speculate, but the only one who really knows when this world is going to end is God, and He doesn’t want to tell us whe this is going to be because He knows us, and He is fully aware of all the stupid things we would be capable of doing if we knew how much time we have until the end comes. That’s why we need to live each and everyday doing always our best, living like responsible and caring people who take good care of themselves and others around, and not like people who only breath and move without any good purpose.
Planet earth cannot just “end”. Even if humans tried to… it’s impossible.
The reason they say it is gonna end because they ran out of space on the rock! DUH!
Thats what I think
Buncha bull. The Mayans never actually predicted the end of the world. All that happened was that the calendar ended. Just because the calender ends doesn’t mean they knew that the world will end. It just means some primitive culture stopped updating their calender. Duuuurr
PS. Its also a publicity stunt so Micheal Bay can make a s**t load of cash.
ok clearly all the mayans aztecs whoever the hell made the calender were smart enough to kno they wouldnt last that long. obviously they got tired of making calendars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It has been proven that if you go up to any Mayan not influenced by pop culture and living traditionally and ask them whats happening in Dec of 2012 they will have no clue what youre talking about. They don’t believe the world will end. I read one artical that said the closest thing to the end of the world that they predicted was some kind of crop wipe-out that has been taken wwaaaaay out of context in translation.
The worlds not going to end. You need to check your facts before you write about something.
i dont care whats going to happen in 3 years time. Im more interested in whats happening now.
Okay, I’m not saying I totally believe in this, but when you think about it, it’s a very scary thought. I feel that if so many people are hyped up about this, there has to be some signifigance. I was only five when Y2K happened…or didn’t happen..so I don’t really understand about that. But, if the world were to end, I’d rather just a bright light to occur rather than everything in all the movies. But, I do have full faith that only God and Jesus know when they are coming.
I am not sure that it will happen that day! It is scary to think that somehow we don’t have much time if it’s going to happen as the Mayans predict (although they deny saying saying). In any event, let’s just hope that nothing happens…
Faith is all I got! <3
For all that you know, your world could end tommorrow. So even if the prophecy is true (which i’m sure it isn’t) I don’t care.
lmao idiots
I like how 98% of the people who posted obviously didn’t read the entire blog and then try to tell the hamster guy he’s wrong about something. Hopefully they went back to read it afterwards and realized what a total dumb-ass they look like.
Also all the Christian teenagers who had to post something about lord or god, not forgetting to capitalize it. Yes, we all realize how you deal with those feelings, it’s as unimpressive and common as the Mayan’s way was. Not saying it’s wrong, just how easy it is to stimulate such an automatic response in any human person.
How about this prediction? In the future they’ll have an online community with mostly adults that wont have a Jr high – high school atmosphere. I always feel bad for Mike and the Hamster guy turning out a decently written article to have kids not even read it and post a bunch of junk under it.
Of course if your numbers are growing and the paychecks keep coming… still, I think I’d get tired of it
Hang in there hamster guy, you do a good job 
There will be some embarrassed people come December 22.
I will live it like any other day. It’s just another day to me. If I so happen to be wrong, sobeit.
Recently I have had Jahovah Witnesses pounding on my door trying to get me to repent. The funny thing is I haven’t done anything wrong!
The main speculation is not of the pluto saturn thing. It’s of the earth lining up at the center of the milky way (which the mayans considered to be the underworld) which is amazing that they could pinpoint such a location seeing as you said they had no modern technology and that is really really far away (lightyears). Also at the same time the earth will make a wobble which it only does once every some (ridiculous like thousands i believe) odd number of years. The final speculation is of the mayan god that they worship kublah khan (spell check). He is depicted to have long blonde hair, fair skin, and blue eyes and a elongated skull (like as in alien elongated) (nothing like the mayan people or anyone in surrounding areas, mind you that this was far before white men came to the western peninsula. He was said to have come out of the sea from a society that suffered a similar end (atlantis anyone?).. Anyways I’m not investing to much into it but, we’ll just have to wait and see. haha
I’m not really scared because people also claimed that the world will end in 2000 and 9 years late, the world is still here.
Even though I am not scared I will probably stay home with my family and don’t stop praying on December 21th I just don’t even want to think of this.
I don’t think the world will end in 2012. IT is just the begining of a new calendar. In fact, theModern Day Mayas will probably be celebrating and partying.
If the end of the World really does occur in 2012, it will probably be because of the hysteria. People will go all crazy because they think the world will end. People will do whatever they want, and the world will turn upside down. THAT will be the end of teh world, hysteria-not because of some stupid astranomical crap. You know if you predict something eventually it will happen. I predict a plane crash in teh future. Everyone except 2 passengers die. Eventually that has got to happen right? And who is so sure that the Maya’s predictded the end of the world? And in 2012? People are crazy I swear.
jo kudrat ne humare kismat me likha hai, wo to hoga hi…
use koi nahi taal sakta…
what nature has written in our destiny, it has to happen, no one can change that.
I like to think of it as predicting major shifts in time not so much the end of the world. For example the Aztec belief of Cortes was somehow connected to the myth of Quetzalcoatl which would bring their destruction. And in it did not bring the end of the world but it did end life as they new it. You could see 9/11 as a major shift as life will never be same again. There is also a Catholic prophecy that speaks of the last pope which oddly enough is the pope we are on right now and he is pretty old. I will laugh my butt off if he dies in 2012.
I dont believe in this end of the world in 2012. Only dumbasses will believe this and scare themselves. Only god knows this and im sticking to that. Just like someone said if we wake up December 22, 2012 im laughing my ass off.
I’m gonna procrastinate like always. And wait till about 2031 to die. I just don’t have the energy to die so quick.
ok i know what is going to happen
but whatever does will not kill us
in 2012 its gonna be the solar maximum which means some space activity will be going on up there but i dont think its that bad it is probably likely that that is the answer.
I’m gonna save this world. It’s all up to me now.
Here’s my take on it. Every body just calm down. Those that created that calendar had the ability of REMOTE VIEWING. They could see that there was no need for anyone to have to consult with their art. By 2012 eneryone will either have a digital watch that has the date and time, could walk down a street and see a lighted sign with the date, time and temperature, or have a cell pphone with the time and date. Only those that live in the most remote outposts of this world that would not have such technology would not need it! No big problem guys, no big mystery.
Of course if that is true, they had a big laugh at our expense at how important they are now and freaked out we all became! What an amusing story that would have made around the ol campfire!.
No. I most certainly don’t believe that the world will in in 2012. It’ll be just another day, like Y2K. IF!, it was to end for sure and I knew it, I would probably spend my time just enjoying life and not worring about something I couldn’t control.
Nope. However, there are ppl who are dumb enough to think it is real. Especially since Sony pictures put out that dumb website to advertise the movie “2012.” Goodness knows how many dumba**es feel for that.
Okay, for the record, the Mayans also developed a calendar that ran until FAR after 2012 – 63 million years later, in fact.
Just make a new calender!
…morons…
We can’t really predict when the world is going to end, except if there is a huge nuclear missle fleet heading towards the co-ordinates of the earth, other than that, we’re just gonna have to sit back and enjoy the ride….=)
“According to Nostradamus, we weren’t supposed to make it past 1999, and even if we did, Y2K was sure to do us in.”
Oh look there! False information! He never said anything about us not making it past 1999. He only said something about 2012 being the end.
The world is not going to end. The mayan calender just ends the cycle then and begins a new one.
theyve made a prediction for every matching date example 12-21-12 (has only numbers 1 and 2)
just because a date has a pattern doesnt mean anything.
why are you posting things like this? actually what is wrong with you? your article was rubbish and pointless. you contradict yourself to much. the world will not end and you need to face that,
December 21 is my birthday, and no, I do not believe in the whole apocalypse thing. Everyone said that was going to happen in 2000 also, and here we all are almost 10 years later.
so what if the mayan calendar ended on december 21, 2012? just because they invented zero and were highly intelligent for living in that time period doesn’t mean they knew when the world was going to end. that’s completely ridiculous.
is it really true ?because i remember on December 1999 people said that it will be the end of the world at the beginning of 2000 but …. nothing happened so ?!!
i hate that sum douchebag went and made a movie about it dont they see all the disaster movies the government doesnt tell people about stuff like this because they know it will lead to mass panic ugh i KNOW that 2012 is a load of horse crap theirs a better chance of Jesus commin down here smokin pot w/ slipknot and getting lindsy lohan pregant ok but for real 2012 i hope it doesnt make people freak like a week before it (glad ill be underwater so i ur planning to go into the national gaurd in 2011 ha good luck next year u cud have 2 deal w/ calming riots of a bunch of crazy people
WHAT!? COME ON GUYS! SURELY THE MASTER OF THE SKY, THE ELEMENTS, BIBLE, QURAN AND THE OTHER “HOLY” BOOKS WILL HELP US!.. HE EXISTS…. right?
You do realize that giving names to periods of time (like days, months, or years) is a human activity that has nothing to do with anything but ourselves, right?
Isn’t the Day After Tomorrow nature cleaning up all the crap humanity did to the Earth? Besides, who knows what will happen on that day. Everyday is different. Whatever happens, happens and we’ll have to deal with it one way or another. Just my input.
I Sooo, Do Not Care About This, Cause It’s Not Gonna Happen. It Pisses Me Off In School Cause Everyone is Talking About Something That’s Not Gonna Happen!!
Nope, and none of you should be worried about it either. No one knows the day nor the hour. Trust me. It will be a surprise; pleasant for some, unpleasant for others.
The Mayans say our end of the world is coming well guess what their end end of the world has already happened. No One knows when the end of the world is coming says it right in the bible. That applies to them too.
No, I don’t believe any of that…there are to many prediction and thank God nothing had happen…Now, yes the end of the world is coming and we all know that. But when? That’s the question every one want’s to know. Well for me the answer for that question will be. WHEN WE ALL DIE!!!
I THINK THAT’S THE RIGHT ANSWER.
Basically us humans are the ones destroying the world and Scientists as well…Scientists think they know more than God, and that’s never going to happen.
I THINK EVERYONE IS SAYING THEY DONT BELIEVE IT BECAUSE THE DATE IS SO FAR AWAY, BUT DEEP DOWN SOMEWHERE EVERYONE HAS SOME KIND OF FEAR…..
I DO NOT BELIEVE IT WILL HAPPEN THAT DAY, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN ALOT OF SIGNS LIKE GLOBAL WARMING, HOW PEOPLE TREAT EACHOTHER, TSUNAMIS, THE LITTLE BOY WITH THE QURAN WRITING ON HIM… I MEAN THERES THINGS TO THINK ABOUT.
YOU CANT JUST “RESEARCH” THIS STUFF BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE JUST PUTTING THEIR OWN OPINIONS, IF THEY THINK IT WILL HAPPEN OR NOT, THERE IS NO ACTUAL PROOF!
I THINK THAT BY THIS RATE, HOW PEOPLE ARE FREAKING OUT, IMAGINE HOW IT WILL BE IN 2012. PEOPLE WILL BE DOING THOSE THINGS IN MOVIES…. DRIVING CRAZY, HIDING, ETC. MAYBE THATS THE ONLY THING WE WILL SEE THAT DAY, AND US HUMANS MIGHT BRING THIS UPON OURSELVES, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
WELL, NO MATTER WHAT YOU BELIEVE JUST REMEMBER THAT ONLY GOD KNOWS THIS DATE NOBODY ELSE, NO SCIENTIST OR ANYBODY, NOBODY CAN EVEN PREDICT IT.. SO DONT GO STRESSING YOUR SELF FOR 2 1/2 YEARS WHEN YOU DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN.
JUST BELIEVE WHATS IN YOUR HEART.
BUT IF I SOMEHOW FOUND IT WAS TRUE, I WOULD SPEND MY LAST 3 YEARS GETTING CLOSER TO GOD, TRAVELING, AND NOT WASTE TIME.
EVERYONE HAVE A NICE DAY!!!!!!!
I’m not afraid because God made a covenant with Noah that he would never flood the earth. Anywayz it’s just that these mayans thought no one would make it that day so they stopped >:( I just know some land are going to be destroy because of the Ice Caps. Mexico adios, Japan, thanks for this technology, New York City Seeya, and parts of Asia like Tibet goodbye.
i would have to dis agree. in the bible it says only God knows the day that we will die..
the very veryy first time i heard about it i was kinda freaked out, but that was only cuz i only had heard the evidence supporting it. like sooo many people have said, its just the end of a calender. at the end of each of our calendars do people freak out about ‘the end of the world’? no. why should it be any different for the mayan calender? and there have been countless other doomsdays predicted, and obviously none have come true. so no, i dont think its gonna be any different. but can you imagine what December 20, 2012 is gonna be like? x]
srryy but i think its gonna be entertaining to see whats gonna happen, and what people are gonna do.
guess were just gonna have to wait and see…
i know the world wont end, but just think about this…if u had 1 day left to live, would u just sit around and waste it? or would u go nuts and do everything u wanted to do? the crime rate on 12/20 and 12/21 will be so high, it might be the end of modern society, not necessarily the world. im only worried about north korea or iran launching nukes just to get their “money’s worth” out of their “last days”
The mayan calender end of the world theory has been dismissed. They have inscriptions talking about dates in the 4000s so please shut up dude
Comment posted on November 4th, 2009 at 6:48 pm by Joey ***THIS***
also the Mayans DID NOT PREDICT THAT DAY TO BE THE END OF THE WORLD – duh. It is the end of a 5,125 year cycle. The Mayans predicted that the new cycle will have emphasis on “global “consciousness”. There is no doomsday prediction by the Mayans.
man! that’s the year i graduate high school. i haven’t even taken drivers ed yet… but i sort of agree, why should this prediction be any different from the one in 1999? maybe we can jinx it haha.
I’m only worried about all of the chaos that might happen on “Doomsday”… from all of the people who believe it. There’s probably going to be a lot of crime and odd stuff going on that day.
If I’m right they didn’t necessarily predict that the world will end in 2012, they just stopped on December 21st, 2012, right? Did anybody ever think maybe they just got bored of carving it into stone? They made calendars for years and years ahead of their time. Maybe they figured that 2012 was good, and that they had went far enough for then.
However if it were true, I might be a bit more in-the-moment type of guy, but other than that, I wouldn’t really care. It’ll end someday.
The Lord gets to decide when the world ends, not the Mayans.
just because it ends on that day does not necessarily mean that the entire world is going to end it could be alot of things and the one thing i think is that a new era will start but thats just me
and if it did happen for the next 3 yrs i would do whatever the h*** i wanted to do lol
the world is going to end in 2046
i dont think that in Dec 21, 2012 will be the end of the world….i think that its something could happen but who know.. all i know its that i have to do my best….keep the commadment and pray… so ill be ready when this happen….. may be its a change of life … But i dont believe that its gonna be the end of the World…. but if it is im not scare of it,.i know its gonna be something horrible but i know that theres something more than this!!!
..
pray to God guys!!!….. hes the only one that knows everything!!!
If yu read the bible, yu wud no dhat it says no man knows the day, the hour, the second or the minute. so read more about Gods word.
Something could happen to any of us tomorrow, or in 30 minutes. Why are we scared of something that could happen in 3 years. None of us have the power to stop it. God is the only one who knows when this day is.
The Mayans sacrificed people in order to keep the sun shining. I don’t take their “sophisticated” predictions too seriously as they’ve been extinct for a long time and the sun still shines.
This is not true. Ive been recently to Guatemala, where there were once mayans. In 2012 the mayan calendar will end, and of course, I asked as everyone did if the world will end, if a meteorite would crash on earth etc, FAKE.
I was told, which is the real story is that the when the mayan calendar ends they predicted the start of a milenium with peace. That was what they predicted, not the end of the world, but a new age of peace and tranquility.
its December 23, 2012, not 21. and no, im not worried because they have found other Maya calendars that ended like 20 years ago.
about 11 thousand babies are born a day. wat about IF the world ended there would be no reason for it. god promised ((yes im a christian…well sorta im not THAT religious)) that he would never have disasters like that EVER i believe in god so i trust him. i do not believe that the world will end in 2012, like in the bible they built that big boat thingie….. well yah why not!? my friend said this time it will be something with water and when the ocean waters start rising… then we’ll drink it who doesnt need a little hydration?! well yah thats wat i believe and yahta yahta yahta… idk. well even if we all DO die on that date… we’re gonna die anyway so why does it really matter some kids are still a year old dying at 4 years old is pretty harsh, that day is actually just 3 days after my bday :O
Im gonna run around in circles none stop for 3 years until it happens. If it doesn’t, then I am just going to walk home like nothing happened for the reason of me running in circles.
Bummer… 3 days short of christmas.. maybe we could reschedule it? i’d rather not miss doctor who.
Personally I’m not worried. When the date comes and goes I’m gonna laugh at everyone who believed it. There’s no way humanity can predict the end of the world.
Actually the Mayan Calendar goes like this:
0.0.0.0.0 and each of those 0′s go up to 20 then the next 0 starts at 1 and the behind one starts at 0 again.
so when it reaches 20.0.0.0.0 it will only reset itself and start all back at 0.0.0.0.0 again. that’s how the Mayan Calendar works. and Planet X is not Niburu and Planet X Is actually Pluto. And there is no objects heading towards earth. and No Solar flares or extreme climate Change if you calculate the weather with a lot of time on your hands like me. You will find out that absolutely nothing happens on 2012 December 21st. its just a NORMAL leap year and NOTHING ELSE. Almost every single leap year people try to scare people about the world ending, because they are idiots who don’t know what a leap year is.
If they see something really coming at earth, lets have an orgy party/sex party. and no one should care about the transmitted diseases during the sex party lol!!!
actually in islam one of the MAJOR signs of the last days is that the sun will rise west to east. its been scientifically proven that the earth will rotate backwards, predicting around 2012. the same thing happened to mars fro a few months last year. after that, god wont forgive us ANYMORE.
No, I am not worried about 12/21/12, and I’ve answered this a number of times in the History category. What the “prophecy” is is people interperting the reason why the Mayan calendar ends on that date as meaning they believed the world would end on that date. All truely good prophecies must be open to interpertation, but that interpertation usually occurs after an event has occured rather than before due to the fact that a wise prophet avoids being too specific.
In the 2000 edition of the Old Farmer’s Almanac was an article on how to become a prophet in six easy steps. These steps are:
1. Predict the past – If something has happened in the past it’s likely it could happen again in the future.
2. Avoid specifics – You want things to be vague so that the prediction must be interperted. By giving too many specifics you open yourself up to ridicule if your propecy is proven wrong.
3. Predict the obvious – This is very much the same as one, though you don’t have to worry as much about the past. In other words, think of things that will likely happen, such as the moon rising or a race being won.
4. Leave home – This doesn’t actually mean to leave your home, rather you should seem to be someone from far away who the folks around you don’t know. If you say you’re Bob from the corner of Maple and Mill Streets then the folks in your neighborhood aren’t going to be as likely to take the prophecy seriously. But if your the Seventh Ishtar from Sumeria you’re suddenly a bit more exotic (just as long as you’re not giving the prophecy in person to your neighbors, or if you are you claim it came from your alias)
5. Leave yourself an out – This is a restatement of number two, though it may refer more often to date. Don’t be specific, you want to say “Hey, I never said the prophecy would come true today, it’s still waiting to be fulfilled.”
6. Predict interesting stuff – Predict things people want to hear about. This is a know your audieance type of thing. If their not interested in politics or the economy but want to know who’s going to win the Oscar for best actor or actress, their less likely to pay attention to you if you predict something that pertains to politics or the economy.
What does any of this havce to do with 12/21/12? First off those claiming the Mayans predicted the end of the world are giving step 6, people want to know when the world will end. And it’s obvious that eventually the world will end, step 3. However, the broke steps 2 and 5, they gave too many specifics and they didn’t leave themselves an out. The specifics are that the world will end and the date it will occur. If that fails to happen they have opened themselves to ridicule.
Don’t forget the Y2K prophecy experts were making at the end of the ’90s. According to them, the modern world was going to come to a screeching halt and midnight on Janurary 1, 2000 due to computer tech being in just about every electronic device or power plant. This tech would read the date as the shut down code in the binary language so there was a rush to try and install the Y2K patch in as many computers as possible. Yet even then the experts predicted that less than a quarter of the world’s computer systems would have the patch in place by midnight on January 1st. Yet what happened? NOTHING. They gave us the exact date and exactly what would happen and yet we watched as midnight came to each time zone without the prophised crash ever occuring.
“No man shal know the day, time, or year.” (:
Dude I Can’t Wait
Since people thought that in 2000, the world was going to end, I highly doubt that anything will in 2012. If so, then all I have to say is that it’s been a fun ride.
Ok I actually researched this a bit. And found something really interesting. They tell you that a GALACTIC ALIGNMENT is going to take place on December 21st 2012…which is TRUE. But what they don’t say is that there is a galactic alignment EVERY year on December 21st LOL.
Any time these “predictions” come up just tell everyone you think we’ll live through it: if you’re right you get to tell people about it; if you’re wrong it doesn’t matter because, well, you’re kind of dead. Simple.
I dont get why so many people are worried that the end of the world is comming, I mean the Myans all died out, so maybe they never got to finish their calandar or something
You know, what is the point of predicting or even thinking about the end of the world? Either you’re wrong and look stupid, or you’re right, and, well… it doesn’t really matter then, does it?
How can all you people be so stupid??? Shouldn’t you be more worried about this? The Mayans have always been right about everything forever. The world is going to end in 2012 without doubt. You should go spend three years wishing your family and friends goodbye. Go, now! Don’t regret anything, this is your last chance. You will have wished you heeded my words the day Doomsday arrives on that day.
If it was the end, as soon as I saw proof that I was about to die, I would go buy a hat so I could eat it. Followed by a steak, because a hat would be a horrible last meal.
I hope not my birthday is on dec. 21 lol I dont believe any of it
Don’t worry… It’ll over soon…
How many times do you think people have predicted the end of the world. The world doesn’t stop just because someone else stopped writing. lol even if this idea that is totally stupid the world would be destryed in time zones lol. The world will not end. there is no reason at all to think it will end. predictions of the world ending only happened when humans got strange ideas. the earth is BILLIONS of years old. the idea of it ending right now it completely stupid.
i do not belive that crap no one knows when the world will end so you people are probaly wrong LLOOLL<3 jk i kind of do and at the same time i dont by the way i am cristian;

well bye
12/21/12 is a bunch of BullShT
No. It is plain old fear mongering.
No, I don’t believe this crap. You people are idiots for God sake… smh!
Well in the Bible it talks about a doomsday. Happening soon too. About a rapture in revelation. when something about something in isreal is to happen and the anti christ will show and 7 years of doom and disaster and then god will make war.
No one knows when the world is gonna end. people now-a-days are so gullible. WOW, someone said the worlds gonna end on December 21, 2012 lets all get psychotic about it. Peoples lack of intelligence is quite sad.
You shouldn’t believe everything you hear, or in this case read.They have said the world would end before and that didn’t happen stop being ignorant people! -.-
wow thats sounds suspensfull but i don’t belive in it at all but hey who knows?? maybe this is out last 3 years on earth! Man i am only 13 i will barley be able to drive awwww. hahahah oh well i don’t belive it but wait till that day come’s where every one will be tense and wondering is today my last day?? don don don………… blah
2012 is not a hoax. Roland Emmerich’s 2012 movie trailer pretty depicts what is to happen. The Maya were not the only ones who knew about 2012 as most of the world did until the 1800s. Washington DC was laid out to reflect 2012 as a reminder to visitors. Monuments carved in stone were left world wide as a warning to our generation about 2012. Christ taught it. Read my non-fiction 2012 trilogy, The Ark of Millions of Years, the most comprehensive 2012 books in the world that are based on scientific, historical, biblical, and Mayan facts. Available in Barnes & Noble bookstores and on line bookstores. I write under the pen of E. J. Clark. Read and prepare for time is short.
Thanks, E. J. Clark/Mary England author
I don’t believe or believe it. If I die, I die. And I’m not scared of dying; I could care less if the world ended tonight.. We all die.
That’s how I see it.
Omg..That is not true. and if it is, i dont care. atleast i dont die alone.
what i want to know about this whole mayan thing is this: WHY will the world end? as in, what specific things will happen to cause the earthquakes/chaos/etc. tell me why these triggers will happen on this specific day and then maybe i’ll think about it. but there’s just too many holes in this theory for me to believe it. a lot of people say that the world will end because of all these natural disasters but no one has said why 12/21/12 is going to trigger those events. i don’t believe in any god or anything but i don’t believe this whole 2012 thing due to the sheer lack of logic involved in it. there’s too many holes and too little real information to base any kind of solid conclusion off of this…
I personally do not think the world is going to end but at the same time I’m still a bit scared though, only because i watch the history channel a lot and they make it like this big thing, and it is kind of scary, however I don’t think it is going to end. No one knows or can predict when the world is going to end. And if it does? what can you do about it? I don’t think anything. You should have enjoyed your days here on Earth. That’s why you should live with no regrets, do whatever you please and whatever happens, happens.
Is the world actually going to end? I’m scared to die. I know back in December 31, 1999 (I was 15 years-old) they said the world was ending with Y2K. I stayed up all night and saw nothing happen. I don’t actually know whats going to happen or you either. I guess we gotta wait and see. Until then I’m living right now finishing my degree hopefully have some kids and chill.
Lol that’s my moms birthday!
I will be sitting at home and watching 2012 on blu ray dvd on my 110 inch plasma tv while listening to its the end of the world as we know it song by rem .
come on 2012 only 1142 days left.
I’m more inclined to believe Newton’s wild conjecture derived from the Bible even though I’m an agnostic than I am to believe the Mayan’s knew when the world would end. Anyway, we’ve already got the next one after 2012 Isaac Newton said 2060. I’m aiming for that one since I’ll be 90 when that one hits.. I don’t like being rushed. Remember Stephen Hawking is sitting in the chair Newton once sat.
I really don’t worry anymore!
do any of you read the bible, after the rapture, there will be 100 years of peace. has there been 100 years of world peace yet? no. there will be no end of the “earth” only god knows when =)
I don’t believe in this prophecy, but if it did turn out right, then I would be wasting the next 3 years in school to walk in my graduation on Dec 20, 2012
I believe in the Rapture.
Here is my thing: Mayans don’t believe in Christ. Therefore, AD (or CE for the picky-politically-correct people) doesn’t exist. It’s quite possible THEIR 2012 already happened, hince why their entire society got wiped out.
Also through some digging I found out what the TRUE prediction is…What it means by the life cycle will end is meaning a new era, such as the bronze age iron age ice age blah blah blah. It has nothing to do with doomsday but even so, it still worries me becuase of my paranoia.
It bugs me though that chirstians say it will end and christ will come back. People, please don’t be stupid, I can’t stand stupid people. If you truly are a christian, read your bible, No man can predict the end.
But this movie, 2012 shouldn’t be allowed to even be mentioned mainly for the fact that its horrible for people like me with really bad paranoia. Movies like that freak me out and than I get obsessivly paranoid and start freaking out and I can’t eat or sleep right because I am worried. It’s funny how its offensive to gays to say “fag” or to autistic kids to say the phrase “thats retarded” but its okay to make movies that trip people with paranoia out. Not fair >:(
But to answer the question I want to spend my last few hours in the love of my life’s arms. And when I feel it ending, hold her tight, give her one last kiss and tell her I’ll never let her go.
I’m not really scared of what might happen. For all we know, the Myans simply got lazy and didn’t finish their calendar. I am actually more afraid of what people who think that the world will end are going to do.
i believed it’s going to happen till i read the other comment’s it’s hype to make money
Why we are so worry about day we not really sure about it. and the doom of the world for each one of us is his death.
that is the real doom.
No b/c it clearly states in the bible that “Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come” also “But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father”
I think I’ll believe my holy father instead of the mayans..
BUT THE MOVIE LOOKS GREAT! I’ma def check that out
How on earth did the Mayans know about Pluto?
load of hokey is all it is. just like Y2K.
The world is not going to end at 2012. Remember what people said about Y2K.
if the myans were that smart, they would have seen their own demise and prevented it.
my guess, they stopped at 2012 because it was time for the calendars masker’s lunch. while eating, myan world came to an end.
if he had broke for lunch at 2013, everybody would say the world will end in 2013.
i am still waiting for it all to end on 1-1-2000.
still waiting for planes to fall from the sky, no computers, no electricity…
i think that there lyin again because they predicted that last time it didnt happen !!!
it isnt a dooms day prediction it is ushering in a new era for humanity we are heading out of the Pisces’s era we have been in and into Aquarius age this only happens every few thousand years some thing humans have never seen or experienced it will switch the poles of the planet basically moving the entire planet into a new balances and moving us with it scary if you think about it, only 3% of humans are expected to survive although i hope for more to survive survive
Anyone who believes this is completely fatuous. The end of the world will most likely be unexpected.
THIS IS A BUNCH OF BULL SHIT!! NO ONE NO’S WHEN THE WORLD IS GOING TO END! SCIENTISTS R JUST SAYING THIS TO SCARE THE HELL OUT OF US! and its working for most people!
even if the world was going to end i wouldnt be scared! bc im going to heaven got that?! so u guys can believe this shit all u want. AND SCIENTISTS HAVE SAID THE WORLD WAS GOING TO END LIKE 900 TIMES!! AND IT DIDNT!! so.. they r a bunch of bitches!
Actually, Nostradamus said the world would end in the year 3641 or something like that. There have been a few TV specials confirming this. Some drastic event was supposed to happen in 1999.
I don’t believe in the hype either. God ONLY knows when the world will end, and when it ends it will be a new beginning, up in heaven. Also, it will be when we least expect it. So really this 2012 stuff should just be dismissed. Also, it’s just a calender, don’t you think it would say something like End of World or something if it was “Doomsday”? Just some thoughts. Also, I am a Christen, so I believe in God and Jesus,
God Bless. (:
If the world is going to end on December 21st, 2012 then that would suck. That is my 22nd birthday! I will only have had one year of being 21! lol
I just want to say that no one,and i mean NO ONE,can predict when the world is going down.but it was told how…and these movies do not clerify that way it goes down.through fire only,not these make-believe opinions through these movies….
I am not scared. I do not believe in that crap. I am a Christian and if you read the word of the Bible the world will end when the Lord wants it to end. The Lord will come yeah but he will come when no one knows hes coming. So I have nothing to worry about. But for all the people who don’t believe in God hes coming and when he finally comes you going to get it. So you better change your ways now.
Ha Ha, off topic but maybe a good Idea for 2012. My dad turned off all electricity to the house at the New Years celebration for 2000 and it scared the hell out of everyone! But no this is a load of rubish. I have a friend whose mother won’t have a kid because she believes in this crap. its goten a little crazy.
No, I am not worried, only God knows.
I’m going to make use of Gabe Saporta’s wise words,
“If the world is ending, I’m throwing a party!”
(:
well, i heard that the mayans said it was the revelation, which means reveal, so i think God will just reveal himself.
maybe not even that.
so it won’t be the END of the world,
it will be the beginning of a new, better one.
haha i really don’t know i’m just telling myself that and not the world’s gonna end.
much less terrifiying.
I am not worried at all, the mayan calendar is basically made by these wheels(not mobile though), and each wheel have litttle tablets that when aligned with other tablets from the other wheels, it gives a specific date. evenually all the combinations run out and it happens to end in our time. If it was the size of Alaska it would still end but just not during in our time period.
(citation: my advanced studies world history teacher)
Oh yeah, the world is gonna end like it did in 2006,2000,1999,1997,1995,1993,1992,1989,1984………
No, not at all, when Jesus returns thats when the world will end..
yeah like they said that calfornia was going to seprate from the U.S did that happen no are you going to belive what everyone is going to say and you going to worry for your rest of you life that 2012 is the end of the world grow up people and live life and stop worrying
I don’t think it’s going to happen but I sometimes I have moments where I get a little worried and then I feel retarded. =P Plus I also believe it’s going to happen the way it’s described in the Bible so that calms me down.
P.S.
I think it’s hilarious when Christians are like “Oh, by the way I’m going to go to Heaven la la.” First of all, to say that aren’t you doing God’s job? You can’t really judge yourself, no matter how self-righteous you are. Secondly, you’re on yahoo answers. No one knows you and no one cares. (By the way I’m not dissing Christianity ’cause I’m all for it; I’m dissing stupidity.)
if god brings you to it… he’ll bring you through it
no worries. we are in gods hands now
I’m Christian and i bealive that if any thing bad will happen on that day god will protect us.
THIS IS ALL FAKE PEOPLE THE WORLD ISNT GONNA END NO ONE CAN PREDICT IT AND ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN FOR ANOTHER BILLION MILLION YEARS SO NO ONE IS GONNA EVER EXPERIENCE IT ITS ALL A HOAX
I highly doubt this will happen , But i’ll keep checking out all the details .
This is just a load of RUBBISH.
Think about it, for those who read the bible, you should already know that GOD is the ONLY person who knows when the world will end. YES, the mayans were OUTSTANDING with their true predictions, but this is one false prediction they’ll be making! I believe that, just as our calender, theirs start all over.
But for those who don’t read the bible – do a little research, eh? Honestly, we were supposed to die sometime in 1999..then in 2002..then on 6/6/06…And some other dates, too. Are we still alive? Maybe not those who were idiots and were suicidal on these dates – but I can see the world is just fine.
YES, we will all die someday. But just stop with all this nonsense, and live life as it is.
[However, if anything, when the world does end, i'll be in some hotel getting drunk, and laid, hoping my husband doesn't find out. Oh, well.]
I dont believe the world will end on that date. people think just because the mayan calander ends the worlds going to end too. but didnt the mayans themselves “dissapear” suddenly? as people believe? how do we know that some natrual disaster didnt come and wipe them all out in a day and December 21, 2012 just happened to be the final day they got to before this happened to them???
M-O-R-O-N-I-C.
No, i am not worried i beilive god is the only one that knows, and this is only a prediction.
I am a doubter on a lot of things but 2012 is different for me simply because of the hype it self. There are a lot of theories to due with the date and so many ancient societies that have apocalyptic endings that occur in or around that date and not to mention from what I have read from a lot of different sites scientific evidence has seemed to have found a lot of things in space that could collide and destroy or wipe out all the things on earth coming at us in 2012. And for that matter….I’m freaking out at times.
is CERN going to fire-up Big Bertha on that day? if so RUN FOR THE HILLS!!! well, just sit and wait! that is the only end-of-world scenario i would buy into. i plan to have a big “told-you-so” party dec 22! lotsa $$ 2 B made on this!!
What bothers me the most about it is (1) the Maya were never known for prophecy and (2) the people who talk the most about an alleged doomsday from the Maya don’t even know what they’re talking about. The calendar does NOT end. Period. Anything that comes after that is sheer stupidity.
YES YES OH YES..I BIELEVE IN GOD BUT IM STILL SCARED THE WORLD WILL END SOON
I’m sorry, but I cannot trust an ancient civilizations input on future events.
Does anybody realize that the Mayan calender is a huge rock? They were going to run out of space sometime! Wake up!
Besides, even if the 2012 prediction is true, then so be it. We all have our time, no sense on worrying about it if it’s going to happen. Nothing we can do about it.
Only God knows, the Mayans don’t know a thing so I believe the end of the world is when God wants it to be, could be in a minute for all you know.
It’s true that there may be an apocalypse.
But what does the word “apocalypse” really mean?
Every one says that it means the end of the world. In reality, it means that one thing ends and another begins.
The Mayans were amazing matematicians– there is no doubt in my mind about that.
My one question- how did they not see the Spaniards coming to pretty much wipe them out? (no offense to Mayan descendents)
The Myans did NOT predict the end of the world in 2012, that idate just falls on a round number in their system of counting that ended a complete cycle for them. They would have eventually caculated the next cycle, but Myan culture has been flat on its back gasping for breath for half a millinium. The calendar in my check book ends on December 31st 2011. I’m not worried about that either.
I reckon they just got interrupted before they could finish the calendar, possible by the Spanish invasion?? Or was that just the Aztecs? Anyway, either that or they just thought, f*** it, that’s far enough in the future, that’ll do it, and went back to contemplating mysteries and building strange pyramids.
Look at this way; the calender ended on 2012 means a beginning of a new calender…not an end.
wow..that is just so stupid. no one can tell about the world’s end dude.
No i dont belive in that. they probably stoped counting lol. Back when they predicted it, they didnt have any of they technology we have now. We are more accurate about thing we no more about the earth. Basicly im saying that they predicted that world will end thousands of years ago how can they be sure that thats how were going to end?
Nope I do not! Oh and with the 11/11/11 one I never heard of that one and that would be bad if it ended on that day b.c thats my 15th b-day! but I think it is a load of crap. On Dec.31,1999 ( I was only 4) they said it was going to end so did it…no! Also, religiously speaking no one knows except God!
This is stupid. They also predicted that the world would end in 2000. Did that happen?
No.
Only God knows when the world will end.
no because they said this back in 2001 and nothing happened also they never said that the world was going to end just a big change as well as the bible saying no human will ever know the day of the end of the world so i wouldnt take it too seriously and someone also said that maby they never had time to finnish so that is a possibility as well
What do u think will occur on December 20, 2012? The day be4 the Apocalypse. And why can’t God just kill Satan right now? I’ve been annoyed by the Devil too many times, I wish he never existed, I even wish Adam and Eve never ate that damn fruit (not necessarily an apple or a fig or something). I wonder, why can’t God just kill Satan for good right now? Why w8 until 2012? And in the beginning of the world, why was Satan in existance? I don’t get it, I’ve read the Bible many times over, and I despise anyone who calls extraterrestrial/spiritual/paranormal stuff “fantasy”.
I really dont think that the World is going to end December 21, 2012 because Scientists haven’t really worried of this for much. Just because the Mayan calendar end on Dec, 21, 2012 doesn’t mean it Ends for Us. I mean GET REAL.
the only way the world will end is because Obama is worried about his health plan instead of worrying about the other countrys that hate the rest of the world and start pushing buttons and ww111 won,t be a prety sight so maybe the calander is right about the world as we know it will end
Actually, this is at least a good prediction BY THE WAY WE LIVE!!!! WE THROW TRASH IN THE OCEAN, POLLUTE THE AIR, AND TRASH THE WORLD!! IF WE DONT STOP, WE’LL ALL DIE BECAUSE WE’RE STUPID! WE NEED TO CHANGE OUR WAYS OR THIS’LL HAPPEN AND OUR LIVE WILL DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bible prophecies are getting all lined up. Things are happening. The end WILL come, we just don’t know exactly when. Many will “poo-poo” it, but that too was foretold to happen! Just another sign!
I played the Quijia Board and it said that I was gonna get married to someone named Neil. So, that must mean this 2012 thingy is sure not to END the world because I am only 12, I know nobody named Neil currently or, have never known any1 with that name and, am getting married definitely after I am 14 the time 2012 will occur.
i think this is total CRAP. the movie director just wants MONEY. thats the only reason, and 20/12 lottery.. CRAP. i doubt anything’s going to happen. Have a GREAT christmas and haunnakah EVERYBODY!! Don’t let it bother you!
This isnt news. The mayans said they did not predict the end of the world in 2012. They said so them selves.
HAHA!! from the 100+ comments that I have read, none of you said this 2012 doomsday thing was true.
Well, I believe that abnormal things are going to occur on December 21st, 2012. I don’t think that it’s going to be the end of the world. I just don’t like people saying it’s stupid and dumb, because people are entitled to their own opinions and beliefs. But I can relate to the hype of 2012… No one can predict the future, we’ll just have to wait and see. It’s both scary and exciting, because you never know. I just think that disasters and the death toll are just going to have a surge that day. I hope it’s not the “apocalypse” because I really don’t want to die:( But the Mayans were extremely intelligent in their era. We should review the facts and clues, before we start making assumptions. We’ve made mistakes before. Us, humans, need to be more careful and focused. Let’s not jump to conclusions. Anyways, I’m excited to see the movie, 2012. It seems like a good thriller in the commercials. All in all, I’m not worried. I will just live my life:D
Doesn’t the calendar end on 12/21/12. Because if it did it doesn’t mean the end of the world it just means that they need to make a new calendar.
Dec 21 2012 is the day when the sun is in the middle of the milky way. It only happen evrey 52,000 years that why people think that the world will end on that day
Its not true. In the bible it says that nobody knows for sure when the World is going to end or When God will be coming back. Not even His son Jesus. Sooo its all not true.
I never understood the hype of apocolypse movies. we re mortal, If the world is going to end its going to end. we re all gonna die and if you survive the end of the world, then what?
also I find it hard to belive a civilization thats Completly wiped out can solve squat. Otherwise wouldnt they still be around?
Wow, I can’t believe this is actually posted here. How utterly irresponsible. The Mayans made no such prediction. It’s just a bunch of BS hype that ufologist made up when they got tired of aliens, and a bunch of viral marketting for a disaster porn movie. And what happens? “Educational” cable channels and Y!A keep peddling the BS.
Sure, for people with critical thinking skills, they just easily blow it off. But children don’t have those skills fully developed. Now I don’t like it when people boo-hoo “think of the children” for things that don’t really matter to the children. This isn’t one of those cases. Children are being traumatized, some even becoming suicidal. Now I know Y!A is for 13 year olds and older, but there are still 14 year olds who are panicking.
It’s absolutely disgusting that this pseudoscience is a Y!A blog post. It’s not just modern Mayans who disagree with the “interpretation”. Other inscriptions at the same site post-date 2012. All 2012 is is a significant anniversary of the creation of the world for them.
And, I’m sorry, a “squaring off of powerful forces beyond Pluto,” that’s mumbo-jumbo. What kind of phenomenon – to your understanding – is that?
http://www.2012hoax.org read about the suicidal 8 year olds.
Yea I’m Mayan and I don’t believe in anything. It’s just like those other predictions like; when they said Y2K was gonna hit and that April Fool’s Virus this year. All bull
Why in the world would God have to destroy the Earth himself? Us humans can do it a hell of a lot faster.
The Mayan Calendar has several months, weeks, and years of all different amounts of days. Each of the weeks, years, and months have one common denominator which happens to occur every 5000 years. So essentially December 2012 will mark a major astronomical event. weather or not it is a cataclysmic event is relatively unknown.
Seriously , they said that we would have a major bunch of problems in the millenium with computers and electricity etc. would go out completely..STILL don’t see that happen. It sure got the sales of Generators boosted though, Why would repeat hurrying and rushing out to get some underground shelter or something else? I mean let’s get a grip to see that when the world ends it will. No one here can say WHEN that will be. I feel let’s see if anyone panics as if someone can do anything about it. Well?!
I will just go on faith and live each day I’m given as I have been doing. Seems to work this far for me.
HEY! that is a day after my 13 B-DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
i don’t know if i believe this or not but i’m tired of people saying that people said the world was going to end on 1/1/2000. no one said that they just said that all computers and stuff like that would think that we went back to year 1900 and evrything would be ruined NOT THAT THE WORLD WAS GOING TO END. if you wanna get on someone elses case about something check your facts first!!
I believe that there is something to it, but it could just be last day of their calender like how we have a last day of our calender. But in turn of events… that is the day that I want to get married.
GOD is in control.
‘Nuff said…
Whether it actually will happen or not, I have no control over it so I’m just not going to worry about it now. If it happens, it happens. If not, life goes on. I do know that if it happens I am going to be majorly p.o.’d that I didn’t spend all that money I’ve been putting aside for retirement, didn’t quit my job so I could debauch myself one last time, etc. But didn’t they expect something to happen in 1984, then when the turn of the century happened, then in 2001? It’s endless. We should have a Dec. 22, 2012 party worldwide just to show we made it.
Hey, it gives us all more reasons to party and live in the moment!
a former nasa came out and told some ppl that 2/3 of this world are going to die and nasa is already prepared for this event, they already built a huge space ship to take all the chosen ones such as the president, scientists, and cows, chickens all those….well…i do believe in it but i hope they are wrong!!! so enjoy your life while you can!!!
Well I don’t believe in 2012 but If it does I would just have faith on God to have a salvation for our soul
I say that it will happen. On that date, people will say “Oh look, the world’s ending. Lets go enjoy the last of our day by looting and killing everyone!”
See what I mean?
i dont believe it at all.
theres no way that this is true.
i have noo fear whatsoever
(:
Really people. Don’t believe this bullshit. How many times have people predicted that the world was going to end? Many, many times. All on different dates that have already passed. We’re still alive. And even if 2012 is in fact the end of the world (which I don’t believe at all), we all die eventually anyway. I am really looking forward to December 21, 2012. The commotion with be worth watching I’m sure. And hey, if it’s the end of the world, I’m sure that will be interesting to see too. Bring on 2012. We’re all waiting.
My friend’s dad used to study South American tribes and he lived with one for a few years. This “dooms day” is not true.
I am not sure what to believe. What I do know is i am no where near ready to die. I am young[ I think i am ],
And i plan on being around waaaayyy longer than 2012! But, i have to admit , i am a little scared of the whole thing, Not for myself, but, for my kids, and grandbaby.
If the world end before i lose my virginity, or before i get a drivers liscense im going to be pissed at God.
(In 2012 ill be 16)
why do so many people believe everything they hear. Who cares if the Mayan Calender ended at 2012 that doesn’t mean we will. A calanders a calander maybe they meant to finish it but they were conquerred by us or other indians and couldn’t finish it, (sorry i don’t know my history)
Let’s just not worry about it, and live the life we were meant to have instead of thinking about our death.
No I am not worried about Dec. 21, 2012.
“Our” daily calendar ends every year on 31st of the December and then we make new one. Mayan calendar is just made until Dec 21, 2012 possibly because who ever thought of it (us humans) just never would imagine himself live as far as 2012 and wouldn’t even bother to make the calendar longer. Its just a way to track the days and number of year.
how bout you start reading the bible
This author Richard S is spreading the fear and gossip that our “life cycle will end on Dec 21, 2012″. The Mayans never predicted our lives would end on that date. Dec 21, 2012 will be the end of a cosmic cycle, get your facts straight. Just like Feb of this year marked the end of the Year of the Rat. Dec 21, 2012 will mark the end of a cycle. Every cycle represents a sort of cosmic entity, just like astrology.
This year is the year of the Boar, good things are supposed to happen for people born the year of the boar. Barack Obama was born the year of the boar. What happened to him this year? He became President of the United States and won the Nobel Peace Prize, pretty good year I’d say.
Dec 21, 2012 is not good or bad, it’s the beginning of a new cosmic cycle. Things will change during that cycle, just like things change during the year of the boar. It has to do with the way the planets are lined up (not squared off). When the stars are lined up just right either good or bad things can happen. At this time I think it’s safe to say that nothing really bad will happen in the immediate future.
Whether or not our society survives after Dec 21 will depend on our own decisions. Karma is the key word here. If we can be good people and do what we are supposed to do, good things will ensue. It’s fairly simple.
If we keep pecking away at the ozone, building bombs instead of families, giving into special interests, we’ll find ourselves back in the same situation as Sept 1939, looking at WW3. That would indeed be an apocalyptic scenario, one that few would survive as most nations nowadays have nukes. One bomb can wipe out a whole city. When people are destitute and desperate we’ve seen how things can go awry in a hurry (see buildup to WW2).
Another end-of-the-world “prophecy”. The Dec. 21, 2012 date is just another date of astronomical significance, nothing more. In 2012, the winter solstice (Dec. 21) occurs at the moment of the conjunction of the Galactic Equator with the Milky Way. Just like the end of the world was to occur on May 5, 2000, when the planets aligned, supposedly to cause world-wide polar ice shifts, cataclismic earthquakes, and/or giant tidal waves.
As for arguing religiously, I won’t even go there… predestination, fatalism, determinism, calvinism, even infralapsarianism, can cause a whole different debate.
It is interesting how most people just commented on 2012 and didn’t bother to answer the important question, what would you do if you only had 3 years to live. I think you wrote a great article. I would spend my last three years the way I am spending my life right now – spending time with family, trying to help people and living each day to the fullest.
No, i am not worried at all. I’ll admit the Mayans were extremely intelligent. However, no human is more intelligent than God. Therefore, we should stop pretending like they were. Has anyone ever considered that maybe the Mayans just got tired of writing hundreds of years of calendars? To them, 2012 was thousands of years in the future. They were probably struck by irrelevancy just as they reached the end of 2012. The world will end when God says so, not when man says so. That day could very well be in 2012; however, the prophecies have not yet been completely fulfilled and probably won’t be for decades.
The thing is, the Mayan Calendar DOES end on December 21, 2012 at 11PM, yes. At the same time, the Mayans also stated along with the calendar that when the calendar ends, it will be the end of one life cycle and the beginning of another. There is nothing being said about a disaster. BUT, along with that; God also said there will be an era of peaceful comings before the end of the world and could this beginning be the start of a peaceful era before a government follows the third (supposed)anti-christ? Food For Thought, but either way; I do not care when it ends because as long as you and I are together “up there” then I am happy!
bla bla bla. If it’s anything we would probably die from Global Warming than that stupid apocalyps theory. We have more important things to worry about.
Dec. 21 is my b-day so I pray that is not true!!
End of the world prophecy comes from the Christian bible and though most of the 500 prophecies have been filled there are a few left. Let me put you a little at ease. Most people focus on the negative since these times are to be harsh to say the least. What they don’t realize or state there is more prophecy after the end of the world. So it is not total destruction as most think for afterwords there is to be a thousand years of peace. Yes I am afraid but no i don’t believe the world is to end in 2012. The bible states no one knows, but my calculations are closer to 2040.
thats not true ever! God can only predict the end of the worlds and thatis in the bible.
thats junk and nonsense
the world is not gonna end in go said no one will know when the world will end it will happen it will happen but does it mean it gonna be in 2012 it a lie people need get everything straight in stop there lying about stuff well if there lying they go to hell when they but to bad that;s there mistake lol
WTF?? no one knows when will be the end of the world
There is absolutely no evidence of this happening.. Nibiru isnt even fact… If such a planet exists (people said you would be able to see this planet in broad daylight in 2008 which we cant) There would be evidence of its previous passing 3600 years ago..
It is said to have a huge gravitational pull and would have easily had some effect on the sourrounding planets right?!
There are hundreds and thousands of astronomers professional and amatuer there is no way this planet hid from all of them and was kept secret..
The up and coming movie has even made up a website to advertise this BS… if it actually had some truth to it they wouldnt need to do this would they?
The real issues in the world are global warming and economic crisis they have been provin by the smartest minds in the world.. If NASA and the like say something it is pretty backed up beacause remember they have a reputation to hold onto and they would not want to kill this with lies and propagander what they say is researched and researched and the facts are added and disputed and backed up with real evidence.. We all know the truth comes out in the end and if NASA wanted to lie or hide information it would eventually fall back on them and their reputation would be ruined and no one would listen to them ever again… And if they are wrong in details they are the first to admit it go back research again untill they either squash the accusation or prove that they themselves were wrong… Doesnt that show we can trust what we are told from them? Im sure no NASA scientist is going to hold back the truth ever not even for the govt…
I will never believe in these predictions i have a calender that ends Dec 31 2009 that doesnt predict we are all going to die.. I also only believe what i can find out for myself and there is a quote that states extraordinary claims demand extraordinary levels of evidence… this evidence is non existant…
We have all heard the claims before and after 2012 we will hear it all again just a big joke false claims and lies, the lying has only got better thats all.
There will always be a planet x as long as the lies continue…
i think it’s just more hollywood BS to sell movies and entertain people so they will remain calm and in control through all the brainwashing crap they shell out.
besides my birthday is on Dec 22nd…what a tragedy if i had to miss it.
and, i’ve also heard the calendar doesn’t stop…it just “resets” just like when 2009 is over, there will be 2010.
so be it…
well i would spend my 3 years doing fun outdoor activitys like fishing snorkeling and stuff like that but just because people say it is going to be the end that isnt exactly true even if we are wiped out life will find a way just like it has many times before
NO! I think its crap because regardless of how big the calender is it was bound to run out eventually, abd then the Spaniards wiped them out before they had a chance to continue on.
I certainly don’t believe any of that crap & nobody else should either!!! Why would the world just happen to end on that particular day????? It was supposed to end so many other times if you remember & this is just a way for them to make money & be stupid!!! Makes me & my Family laugh everytime we hear something about 2012!!! lol Don’t be stupid people & try reading the Bible instead of all that junk!
No, I do not believe that the world will not end in 2012, but I do however believe that the world will end in our life time. You can kind of tell what I am saying about how the world is now a days, like at all the violance, war, weather, people falling out of religion and grace. On tope of that, god is beeing taken or forcefully removed from about almost everything.
nope its not going to happen trust me there have been lots of days “the worlds going to end” and it didnt and thats exactly what is going to happen then
I truly hope the Maya are wrong, my 21st birthday is only 9 days prior to 12-21-2012 -_-
I didn’t read much of the other comments but if you were to post this blog I”m sure you’re obligated to read our responses. Hopefully you will read mine. I am a man of understanding and calculations.
Though I don’t have access to their historical and astronomy data, I can say that this is possibly a miscalculation and another being illogical sense. The Mayans may have been an intelligent race but I believe its not possible to calculate the end of the world.
I too was a little struck by fear but I realized alot. One thing is if they make a movie about 2012 (And I know Roland Emmerich is very known for fictional world ending films) then its rather of a captilistic attempt to boost the film industry’s cash flow up to “astronomical” numbers (inside joke).
Also the fact still remains that why NOW do we worry of something that’s fatal to our planet’s destruction less than 4 years down the road? Could we have calculated and studies this years down ahead let say in: 2002?
That’s something that I dismiss this eventful occurance as nothing but a hoax. I hope you can understand my view on this subject and maybe quell those fearful thoughts of losing your life and others.
If I am indeed wrong, I would simply just say I would try to live my life as much as I can with the ones who I love and places I forlong have wished to visit.
Good luck on your endeavours.
i am so scared. i hope it is not true. i am going to be a freshman in highschool when its mite going to happen.:((:((:((:(:(:(:(:(:(:(
i heard that the person who predicted 9/11 predicted wats going to happen in 2012. i hope it doesn’t happen. i kinda believe it
Well ya! if the world was going to end (god forbid) I would want to know.
I dont believe this one bit because acording to the bible,no man will ever know the end,only God knows that,plus every prediction that scientists have made about the end was false,even the guy who discovered evolution said it was false and that we shouldn’t believe it right before he died.
I don’t believe it because this idea that the Mayan calender predicts *doomsday* is actually a fallacy of Western origin. The Mayan calender simply enters the next cycle and nothing happens.
But I’m still open to the idea that something might happen because I’m not going to be foolish enough to say “it’s just impossible” – something that too many people including scientists do today. And considering that the universe is a very very strange place, I believe anything is possible.
So I am curious but not crippled with fear. I care about this but not worried.
That day is my 24th birthday, so I sure hope the world doesn’t end!
The only “buzz” this movie is receiving is through credulous, uncritical plugs like this post.
2012 is just as easy to quickly dismiss as any other apocalypse expoitation movie. Complete debunking can be done in under 5,000 words.
such predictions are so funny
it is the end of the mayan calendar but not the end of the world. the mayans supposedly say ONLY that it is the end of consciousness as we know it. we will “know” things that we don’t know now. we will have the ability to heal our own bodies. we will have answers where now there is only speculation.
ive done extensive research on this subject.
WELL ABOUT THIS TTHHEE EENNDD OF THE WORLD THING IS I LIE EAVRYWONE IS ALL WORRIED THEY SAID THE WORLD WAS GOING TO END IN YEAR 200 AND DID IT NOOOOOOOO SO WHO CARES.
I’m not that scared this happend like 5 er so years back and everyone was freaked outt, it just passes over. and if it doesn’t wow im surprised but im not all worked up about it.
Rachel, i like how you said the planets wont align, they will but nothing will happen, this is just like other doomsdays 6-6-6 9-9-9 1-1-00 its all a hoax
wow…. this blog certainly got a lot of publicity…
But didn’t we BLOW UP Pluto?
I hope it happens I don’t want to have to live until I’m old I want to go to heaven young.
NO ONE KNOWS WHEN ITS GONNNA END. IF WE HAVE FAITH WE SHOULD NOT BE WORRIED. P.SP THEY SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT IT IN 2000
Who the hell cares? The world is nothing but one vast cesspool, anyway..
Jesus said in Matthew 25: 13, “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man comes.” In Matthew 24:44 he says, “Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man comes.”
“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?” (2 Peter 3:10-12)
I am taking bets from people who believe the world will end on 12/21/12.
THE WORLD WILL NOT END WE HAV NO IDEA WHEN THE WORLD WILL END OKAY GOD SAYS WE WONT KNOW CUZ IT SAYS SO IN THE BIBLE THAT WE HAV NO IDEA WHEN THE WORLD WILL END OK!
also kayla r u a church of christ member cuz i am
I DON’T THINK IT WILL ALL COME TO AN END. BUT IF IT DOES, THAN I WOULD BE THRILLED THAT I WAS ALIVE TO SEE IT HAPPEN.. I THINK US HUMANS DID SO WRONG WITH WHAT WE WERE GIVEN. THE WORLD DEVOID OF HUMANS WOULD THRIVE… BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE “Y2K” THOUGH. SO DON’T GO CRAZY THINKING ABOUT THE UNCERTAINTY. “EVERY THING THAT HAS A BEGINNING HAS AN END.” SO LETS NOT DEVOLVE AND ACT LIKE ANIMALS.
ugh, even the mayans today deny it and think it’s stupid…and nostradamus said tht it will end around 3794…not 2012
no. it’s a load of bs. end of story.
no one knows or can predict the end of the world.
This post is inexcusable.
Every day on YA I see posts by (young, gullible) people who are TERRIFIED that they’ll never get to live their lives, never get to finish growing up, because the world is ending.
Treating this so lightly, and as a real possibility is only fueling those (admitedly completely irrational) fears. People are really suffering anguish over this garbage; you shouldn’t be feeding it, but helping stamp it out.
I doubt anything is going to happen in 2012 worried? nope not at all whatever may happen in 2012 will happen there’s nothing anybody can do about it.
I dont believe tht cuz the sun isnt going 2 die out for the next million of years, and i really hate movies tht talk about the world ending cuz tht makes me really sad and worried…
i think that all this 2012 thing is bs..
i think its a way for the people saying this to make money.. for example the movie wtf… just an example to make money,, there is books t-shirts , and many other sources of this 2012 thing.. believe what you want but i think this s fake .. there is no way a date can tell wether its going to be the end or not..
Can I just say that the Mayan calender is a cycle and although they predicted SOMETHING would happen, the calender is meant to just start right back up! And everyone needs to leave their g*d bibles at home because anyone with any sense does not buy into them. Believing the bible is like me picking up the Lord of The Rings and saying we all come from middle earth. Why doesn’t everyone worry about the real problems facing our world like hunger and pollution and global warming… Or do your bibles say to ignore science and just pray that all the damage we do to the earth will be mended by your fictitious god. emphasis on the lowercase g. Really people get a grip.
Maybe it’s merely the end of the world for all the Mayans. I’m not Mayan, so if this is true, I’m not worried.
OKAY…. THE MAYAN’S PREDICTION WAS’NT THAT THE WORLD WAS’NT GONNA END. THE CALENDAR SAID THAT IT’S A BEGINNING OF A NEW CYCLE, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? WE DONT KNOW. SOMETHING MIGHT HAPPEN, BUT I DONT THINK ITS GONNA BE AS BIG AS “THE WORLD ENDIND” PROBLABLY LIKE A WAKE UP CALL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW WE HAVE BEEN REALLY BAD TO THIS EARTH AND THERES ALWAYS AN ENDIND TO EVERYTHING
No way. I think its retarded. And I refuse to let my kids believe in it either.
WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was predicted to end on 2012 in the mayan calender, not the christian calendar, and I’m Jewish, so that doesn’t even apply to me
Lets keep in mind that the Mayans also believed that it was necessary to sacrifice a human being in order for the Sun to come out.
The Sun comes out regardless of any sacrifice.
They weren’t complete geniuses.
every century and every civilization has had its doomsday warnings. the most recent was of course the Y2K scare. Nothing notable has ever happened on any of these “doomsdays”
everyone is freaking out about the mayan calendar ending on Dec 21, 2012 and everyone thinks the world is going to end.
what no one seems to take into consideration is that the the mayans had to end it SOMEWHERE. They couldn’t have very well kept their (circular) calendar going forever and ever and ever. A circle, as we all know, has to come to an end somewhere.
What better way to end it that on a winter solstice? I doubt that the mayans genuinely knew that the winter solstice in 2012 would also be when the sun aligns with the galactic center. It’s either a coincidence or they were visited by some advanced alien life form.
Anyway, don’t fret people. Even if all the hype does turn out to be true, this is all the more reason for you to live your life to the fullest NOW. Do things you always wanted to do. And if nothing happens on that infamous day, then so what? Keep living every day as if it were your last.
Ok, I’m done with my sermon now lol.
My calander ends every year but i dont get worried about it
Oh yea the world is deffinately going to end but I’ll cross that bridge when i get to it
Well honestly this is retarded as hell, no joke.
They thought the world would end last decade
And the decade before that
And before that.
Hell, everyone was supposed to die year 2000,
Erm the way I see it, I’m still alive.
If not, then how can I die?
No point, in fact none of us should be alive.
They probably figured we were all too retarded to survive so “doomsday” keeps getting pushed farther and farther ahead.
Yay us, our ancestors thought we were too stupid to let the human race thrive.
Thanks for the boost of esteem guys!
Nah, that stone calender doesnt mean anything.
How do we know there isn`t another mayan stone calender out there somewhere that we just havent found yet? maybe the one we havent found starts in 2013 and ends in 4012?
The use of the word “cycle” in the quote “the current life cycle” is proof that nothing is going to end. A cycle is continuous like a circle, if anything was really going to end they wouldnt have referred to it as a “cycle” they would have reffered to it as a line or some other thing.a line has a begining and an end, a cycle or circle has neither a begining nor an end.
don’t worry yourself about a date or year you gonna stress yourself sick.nobody knows the day or the hour nor should we speculate about it.if we knew what the day and the hour of that date everyone would try to get ready.it is not for us to know.but we do feel some effects of what’s going on in the world today.but nothing we can do about it the bible prophecies are fulfilling.prayer is helpful.
to be honest the world is going to end sooner or l8r and i highly doubt that that the world will end in 2012
I dont believe this crap for one thing it’s the end of the world as we know, the world could end tomorrow for all we know. Also, the only reason that the calendar ends on December 21, 2012, is because there was not enough room at the big slab of rock. Simply the Mayans ran out of room on the rock!
Whatever will be,will be. All we can do now is pray for the best and believe in God we trust.
Hey, Im not sure what to think of this, sure, I get nervous, but in a way, Im not so sure that this will actually happen. the calendar says that the human birth cycle will end, not that the world will.
MAKE BABIES NOW SO WE CAN SURVIVE!
I think there will be an end of the world but it wont be of natural causes like they said it will be it will be of the human race’s causes.
Well, the Mayan’s didn’t last until 2012, so their end of calender predictions are about as good as those programmers who anly allowed 2 digits for the year.
What people don’t realize is that the Maya and their calendar are not what point to 2012 alone.
Beginning with the fact that the specific date 12/21/12 (11:11 PM universal time) is the beginning of the winter solstice its also the date which the sun, earth and center of our galaxy align. Nostradamus’ lost book found years ago has illustrations that point to this event as an important event just like the Maya, their calendar enters its last phase, although nothing specific (world will be destroyed).
Furthermore, its unknown whether the sun blocking our connection w/ the center of the galaxy will have any effect on earth. What also does point to around 2012 is the next sunspot cycle, with that coming the sun has many more and stronger solar flares than usual and with our earths magnetic field weakening near zero by 2012 we’ll be burnt off of earth in a flash.
There are numerous accounts that point to 2012 but I will go on my way now.
The disaster predictions for 21 December 2012 are based on a prophecy that the Mayans didn’t actually make. The prophecy of something big was mostly invented by Jose Arguelles who claims to be the reincarnation of a priest who lived hundreds of years ago.
That was not scary enough to sell disaster supplies or tickets to high-CGI low-plot disaster flicks so the failed prophecy of global disaster from planet X in 2003 had to be dragged in.
All of this is about money, not science or even new age twaddle.
Have you seen the content of the Astronomy and Space category lately? How sad.
I am a Californian, so 2012 does not worry me one bit — we’ve survived so many disasters already. For all we know, every nation on earth could be wiped-out EXCEPT California!
Its movies like 2012 that fuel the interest in stupid things like this. Anyone taking a few minutes of their time to examine the Maya Long Count calender will see that it DOES NOT END in 2012, just completes a cycle
Well I don’t know if it’s going to be the end of the world but for sure there will be people in panic all over the world lol.. It’s going to be a crazy day as always. So let’s just stay home!
Well I don’t know if it’s going to be the end of the world but for sure there will be people in panic all over the world lol.. It’s going to be a crazy day as always. So let’s just stay home!
I personally think the world is NOT goimg to end!
here are my reasons.
1. something was supposed to happen in 2000; nothing happened.
2. The world was supposed to end in 2006; we are still here.
3 The Mayan calendar does end on Dec 12, 2012. However, it doesnt mean that the world is going to end. Maybe they all died out before they finished it. Or maybe they just said “hey we wont be here that long , so whats the point?”
2012 is just a hoax.
and if something does happen, so be it!
I dnt beleive that the date is correct, but I think that someday the world will end. And we are not helping it, we are just speeding up the process. We are the ones that are destroying our planet, and instead of doing something about it we are making up stories and excuses.
Hell NO!
No, I’m not worried. I think that something may happen, but that something will be good and not bad.
On December 21, 2012. Nothing will happen really on us and on earth…
We and I DON’T ever believe the world will end on 12/21/2012. Doomsday Prophecies of 2012 are nothing but lies, fake and not true.
So search in Yahoo, Google or Bing about “No Apocalypse in 2012″, “No Doomsday in 2012″ and “Good News, The World Won’t End in 2012″ and that’s it!
So God will protect and save us.
I was scared, but the truth is I don’t think the world will end on 12/21/2012 AT ALL. The thing about the Mayan calendar doesn’t have anything to do with the end of the world. NOTHING AT ALL. 12/21/2012 will just be an ordinary day as usual; people will still be going to work, school, social events, having fun, and the like. Remember the Y2K phenomenon? I’m sure everybody does. Pessimistic people and media outlets said the world would end, the global stock market would crash, and blah-blah-blah, but look what happened: life went on as usual.
Hollywood, ‘predictors,’ and other things have done an excellent job at scaring people to the point of believing something that’s highly unlikely to be true. So let’s just take a breath, relax, go outside for a walk or do things that we like, and think positive. It’s working for me.
God bless us all.
i believe that end of the world is true…but no one knows when it happen cos even Jesus did’nt know it.. only God will…
start finding the truth…if you have faith in God, you will never felt scary…
