I think so, the Myan's were EXTREMELY intellligent people... Our calander year is based on their mathmatics. Many of the things we use everyday, (that deal with math) are because of them. 2012 is only 3 years away.

It's pretty sure that SOMETHING of significance will happen about that time. This has cropped up in too many places, too many times, to shrug it off.
However, I agree with "searching" that it probably won't be the end of the world. It WILL be some sort of a major change, though.
Maybe some catastrophic geological changes, maybe a really wide-ranging political change (like conversion to a single world government - Whew! I shudder at THAT thought!!!), maybe public contact with an extra-terrestrial race for the first time, maybe the establishment of the first earth colony on another planet, etc. Certainly it would be something on that kind of a scale.
The end of one thing always brings on the beginning of something else, and I just hope that whateve starts then will be better than whatever is ending.

It's not the end of time - even according to the Mayans. It's the end of one of their ages. The end of creation is said to be October 21, 4772 AD. See the wikipedia article below.
Also Nostradamus did not predict the world would end in 2012. He gives dates well into the 3000s. (And his prediction about 1997/8 did not come true.)
Basically, on Dec 21, 2012, the odometer is rolling over on the Mayan calendar (sort of like our calendar reaching the year 2000).

Good luck! :)

No.
I depends on what you believe in ...God created the Universe or We evolved from Apes (Science).
Reason being, in the Bible there were no Decmbers or Junes. They went by the Lunar Calendar.(the moon) So the date of today may not necessarily be the the same day next year. Because the moon is not set to a specific time.
The other one, why would the earth blow up.In science they teach you if anything is pressured too much, like the core, it turns solid. So why would the earth be any different from any other heated substance. What we are supposed to die from disease, well that's inevitable because sickness happen.

The Mayan calendar "ends" every 52 years.

I believe the world will end anytime from now since we have started seeing the happening that the Bible says we will see at the end of time.

No, can't be.
The Mayan calender itself actually predicts a Royal Wedding on a later date. So it can't be the end of the world, perhaps the world as we know it if you really want to believe in that.

I have a better question what happened to time b4 they had a calendar? I think in that answer you will find the answer to your question. Time has no beginning and no end, and according to physics can even be changed.

I believe that with all that is going on in this world (war,disease,murder) the world is bound to end really soon! I'm not sure if its going to be 2012 but I'm sure it will be soon!

You know I heard about something like that, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see. After all, weren't the Mayans some of the smartest people ever, I mean for their time they were freaking geniuses!
