I love this one. There are lots of stories about that date. The Mayans weren't the only ones to come up with this date. As stated by some other answerers, this is not the end of the world, just the end of this cyclic era, and the next will follow...
I like the Montauk Project theory on 2012. Some remote viewers were told to look into the future and they saw devastation on that date.
Some 'sleepers' were future life progressed (opposite of past life regression) and they woke up in these camps where all around was devastation, not many people were alive. The date: sometime in 2013.

Since Time was created by humans to measure the passage of events, no calendar, clock, watch, timepeice, etc. can possibly "predict" the end of the world.
The clock "ends" at 12:00. Why doesn't the world "end" every day at 12:00? The year ends every year at the end of December; why doesn't the world "end" on December 31? The end of the 1900's was more than 7 years ago; why didn't the world end then?
To extrapolate that the Mayan's "knew" the world would "end" at the "end" of their calendar is patently absurd.
The most likely time for the "End of the World" will be when our Sun turns into a Red Giant and engulfs the innermost planets of the solar system. And that's a ways off.....

Mayans believed that time was cyclical, and that the world came to an end multiple times before us. They said the world is right now in the 5th age. Their calander comes to an end on what our calander calls december 20, 2012. This doesn't mean the end of the world, but maybe a new beginning of the 6th age, or something like that. It probably isn't true either way, though.

Hey, don't worry about that date.
A professor of mine told us about that date, and we did research on it. The Mayans never actually wrote that date as "the end of the world". They found it significant because a certain alignment happens in the universe on the day of the solstice. They never predicted anything bad to happen, they just thought it would be a new age. And the calender just rolls over, like ours does every year.

Think of this: some monks thought the end of the world was going to come in the year 1000. They fled to a mountain, where they, I believe, were blasted about by a volcanic explosion. It was the end of their world, but not the world.
My point is that we don't know when the world will end. God has not revealed to us when it will happen, but we know it will. Rather than worrying about it, just try to live your life to the fullest instead.

Nobody knows when the end of the world is.
Could be in 5 minutes.

Thats when the Mayan calendar says the world will end.

andersdelta is spot on. It's the beginning of a new era. From what I've gathered, it's the beginning (for us) of full consciousness. And what I mean by that is knowing who we really are and where we really came from. With full consciousness, this world will be a much, much better place than it is now.

It's only the NEWEST date that's been proffered.
Specific dates have been identified for many centuries.
Everybody seems to think the biblical warningsapply to them, oly to be proven wrong by the next generation who claim it is they who will be the targets.

well, there were many dates in the past which supposed to be the end of the world (2000,6.6.2006...). They were wrong.
