I don't. The world was supposed to end in 2000 right? And aren't we all here?

Do you mean A. D. 2012 on the Gregorian calendar? If so, keep in mind that this calendar has a 4 year error in it and that is what we think of as 2008.
All that nonsense about the year 2000 was downright funny because the real year 2000 happened in 1996.
Want to know how the error crept in? The folks who put the Gregorian calendar together knew that Augustus Ceasar and Octavian Caesar were the same person, so they corrected the calendar to take into account the 4 years that Augustus was Octavian. The funny thing is the makers of the Julian calendar (the one that preceded the Gregorian) had already done that. That caused a double correction and an error of 4 years in our time keeping.
What you need to keep in mind is calendars are constructed by people, not God. They have errors in them and no one can pinpoint on a calendar when Doomsday will happen. If you do some checking, you'll find that Nostradamus never put a date on anything. None of the other prophets (Edgar Cayce, for instance) have either.
By the way, there's a church/cult based in Montana who are predicting the end of the world in 2012. Same group predicted it would end in 2000 (back in 1994). Same group predicted it would end in 1984. They have a very nice underground complex near Yellowstone Park. Too bad they haven't had to use it.

The world has been comming to an end ever since it came into being, and humans have been pridicting that the world will come to an end almost as long, and so far those pridictions have not been completely wrong, nor completely right.
with the depeaiton of natrual recorces and all the wars inbetween people have said and continue to say "The World as I Know it Is Comming to an End" and in a sence the world as we know it will come to an end and the world known by our great grandparent and depending on our age out grandparents, has already come to an end. So what is the end of the world really, total anilation, the destruction of humans, or just the eliminaiton of everything we know?
Too each his own applys to the end of the world, so those of us who are most flexible will be the last to notace the end of the world.

I personally dont think the world willl end in as soon as 6 years!
but it will surely end at some point of time...and at the rate at which we are adopting environmently-friendly faciliteies like hybrid cars and more mechanical than electrical usage.....we are too slow....i think we have till 2030-2035.....even the resources remaining are less....hat is in proprtion to the number of people using them....so 20 years is a reasonably short time.

"END" in this sense is a more vague term than most people are willing to consider. Personally, I see that date, the end of the Mayan cycle as a transitional phase from one state to another. In a sense the world will "end" in that everything is going to change rather than the complete destruction and annihilation of everyone and everything.
That sense of change is present in MOST of the apocolyptic scenarios from many cultures, the ending of the old and the reibrth in a new form....
I can't wait myself....

Many people say it will because the advent calendar ends in december 2012, but thats just because people got tired of making calendars all day, wouldnt you? Poeple also believe a giant metioroid will hit Earth in2011, BUT we have the technology to stop that and i believe we already have.

The world you may define as your world or life on planet earth. well your world might end by then or may be not. But life on planet earth will go on longer. Cause for every action we will have a reaction, for every catastrophe we will have a solution. But everything is is based on cause and effect. So everything is uncertain.

the world was supposed to go into absolute chaos on 1/1/2000............
Do you realize that Dec 2012 is less time in the future (6 years) than Y2K is in the past (almost 7 years)?
.... food for thought

Believe. Probably lots of people are willing to say they believe, but all but three of these people will still go out and buy groceries the day before. So only those three actually believe.
