Answer 2

No, it won't. no person with any undemanding experience believes that - not even the Mayans. See, this finished nonsense comes approximately from a hack mistranslating the Mayan calendar and then puzzling the Mayans with the Aztecs. The Mayan long count style Calendar does end sometime in 2012 - the actually date varies reckoning on the translation - yet after a 5 day "reset" era that became seen to be undesirable success a sparkling long count style Calendar starts returned in basic terms like our Julian calendars reset each and every 3 hundred and sixty 5 days on Jan 1st. The Mayans did confer with the quantity of time recorded interior the long count style as an "Age" yet they did not equate that with the international ending. That became the Aztecs. The Aztecs believed that this international we are in is the 5th Age or 5th international in view that time began. For the Aztecs each and every Age leads to a violent cataclysm from which the recent Age emerges. the two the Aztecs and the Mayans used different different calendars. The Mayans had calendars based off the strikes of the sunlight, the moon, or perhaps of Venus. The Aztecs believed the international might end yet they did not set a timeline for it and that they surely did not track it on a calendar.

It appears that even right now, ww3 could be in the making, but to put a date to the actual total destruction of the entire earth is really hard to do. The increasing tensions in the middle east seem to be getting to a high boiling point.
If ww3 were to break out in the middle east before 2012, i think it would take longer than that before every country was destroyed by nukes.
Damage to the enviroment is also a big "if",... how many more years can the atmosphere handle increasing polution and over-population?
If it is coming to a max soon, the world wont end; just most or all of the creatures living in it will die. The earth is stronger that the human.

Answer 4

An incident taking place in an obscure part of the world this very moment could spiral out of control and result in multiple nations launching their nuclear arsenals by tomorrow noon, thus ending the world as we know it.

A meteor or comet might be speeding toward the Earth at this very moment.

A microscopic organism might be mutating at this precise instant that will infect a human host sometime around American Idol time this evening, then spread across the globe within 48 hours.

Those are distinct possibilities. Armageddon and Ragnarok, on the other hand, I find extremely improbable.

Answer 5

The world will no more end in 2012 than it ended in 1999.

The Mayan calender rolls over, just like ours.

...

Chippy is wrong. The Mayan calendar is based on a rare astronomical alignment that happens once every few thousand years. It has absolutely nothing to do with asteroid impacts.

Answer 6

I read that somewhere, Mayan I think. Things would have to start happening very fast to meet that date. Although I do have unexplained feelings about that time, so I expect something to happen but I don't think from what I understand right now it will be the end.

Answer 7

I've heard people say the world was destroyed before, by a flood. That being the case, was it ever rebuilt that it could be destroyed again?

Folks tend to get wild-eyed in these type discussions. Just what is the description of this "world" you speak of being destroyed?

Answer 8

God is the only one that knows, seriously we can't predict. You can;t predict when a robber goes to your house and steals all your stuff now can you? Trust me, it might be now or maybe 300 years from now. No one really knows. EXCEPT GOD ALLMIGHTY

Answer 9

It is a misinterpretation of the Mayan Calendar to believe that the roll over from 0.11.11.11.11.11 to 1.0.0.0.0.0 (some estimates place this on December 23, 2012) is an indication of an end of time.

At most, it's the end of their fifth division of celestial time. Mayan time continues infiniately far. When 0.11[x6] rolls over, it'll simply be 1.0[x6]. When 0.11[x7] rolls over, it'll simply be 1.0[x7].

Nothing destructive or eschatological about that.

Answer 10

they believe this because its the end of the mayan calendar, it is thought that an asteroid is on a crash course for earth and that 2012 is the date it will hit.

*shrug* imo its going to be more like y2k, everyone hyped up for an end that wont happen.

Answer 11

I trhink its just another way for some preachers to get even more money from you. Why do you all continue to believe their garbage when they have been proved time and again to be lieing?
