I heard, and have belief that the Mayans (who in the past have made accurate predictions) have predicted the world coming to an end in 2012. Any thoughts...answers...?

The answer is NO!
If they could really have seen so far into the future, they would have been able to anticipate what was going to happen to their culture and take some action to stop it.

The Mayans were excellent astronomers with a calender that was the same or more accurate than ours 365 days/year, and they were taking measurements of the stars and planets in the BC's
Who knows maybe they came across an asteroid or comet with a orbit that might collide in 2012.
I think If there was a asteroid and it was on a collision coarse for sure with earth the govt would keep it hush, hush due to mass panic and anarchy. They would just let everyone go about their business while they worked on storing up plant seeds, food, fresh water, "special people" etc. Then smash.
We have been hit before a couple of times, with the biggest impact probably creating the moon from the rock and debris of the impact. Other times were the extinction of the dinosaurs with one that hit in the Yucatan.

Maybe it is coming to a new beginning. The "end" is a relative statement to the ancients - it could mean the dawn of a new age or anything really. Consider how many "worlds" have ended in the past millennium - thousands. The world is in a constant state of beginning and ending so it could be a notation on the end of a specific "world" that we do not comprehend.

I never believe predictions, especially about the future.

Personally I don't think this is true but if it were by some odd chance then why would you want to spend the rest of your life worrying about it. Just live your life.

When you mean 'the end' what are you meaning?
I don't think so, but just a change of how things are currently...
