Answer 1

Could be tomorrow, or a week from Saturday, Maybe 2012, could be 3050 -- it will come like a thief in the night.

Answer 2

The bulk of the current events discussing 2012 is the Mayan calendar and that the world will end in 2012. The main problem that I see is the Mayans were neither Greek nor Roman and the calendar that we use today is the Gregorian calendar which is based on the Greco-Roman calendar. They (the Mayans) didn't use the exact same date (the time of the birth of Christ) as the Romans did for the year 1. The Mayans were destroyed centuries before the Spanish came to the Americas.
Different cultures have differing calendars. According to the Jewish calendar we are over the year 6000. (I'm not real sure the exact year)
The Chinese calendar is also well above the year 2007.
The problem is people are using an ancient calendar system and trying to convert it to the Gregorian calendar system and say, "See this proves the world will end at such and such time."
It is not our job to figure out when the world will end, but to be prepared and to prepare others for the time that it will end.

Answer 3

Total and utter garbage. The Mayan calendar cycle ends in 2012, that's all. My calendar ends on December 31 this year but I'm not worried, I've already got another for 2008. The Mayans didn't get round to publishing their next calendar. Never mind, they can use mine if they want to.

Nostradamus certainly did not predict the end of the world or anything else in 2012. In fact he hasn't predicted anything at all that people have been able to use. There is much written in hindsight but nothing at all about predictions. Roman and Greek prophets also had nothing to say about 2012. The calendar as we know it was designed by Dionysius Exiguus in the sixth century and became common by the ninth. The Romans and Greek civilisations were long gone by then.

The earth will line up with a few other celestial objects, including the black hole at the center of our galaxy. It is also the time when the earth passes the galaxy's equatorial divide. The crossing of the equatorial has me frowning. That means that there could be a change in solar system's relative velocity, this change has the potential for serious consequences: if the change causes an acceleration (+ or -) there may be change in mass of the proton however small, that would have serious repercussions on the behavior of our planet. With a change in mass, the Earth's mantle may slide as gravity's grip on the surface changes. If the mantel slides, even a bit, this will cause earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and possible a reorientation of the magnetic field and the earth's spin axis. There are a few things to think about as the solar system crosses over -- it happens about every 25800 years. I don't think the changes will happen in a day, but I think something will start to develop as the new relationship between the solar system and the galaxy develops. So yes, something really is going to happen, just it is hard to tell what effects the Earth will experience in the new relationship. Considering the state of the planet now, with global warming and all, greed, callousness and war, poverty, intolerance for each other, the human race is not well poised to witness the completion of the change; or if something really violent happens we aren't exactly experienced at helping each other out: it still will be the people in power worrying about themselves, the shareholders and CEO's first, making a buck while the rest of us perish. (Makes me feel kind of sick to my stomach.) Anyway, something is going to happen, just not sure what it will be or how fast it will develop. It is an opportunity "to come together right now, over Me," as sung by the true God. It is all up to the Alpha Generation (gen-X and their kids) to make it happen, because the baby boomers have failed miserably and have run out of time.

Answer 5

The Mayan calendar claims a time of cataclysm and upheaval between calendric cycles (not "the end"), but the last one was millenia before Mayan civilization, and the coming one is centuries after its collapse. Who exactly is confirming this "prophecy"?

The claims of Nostradamus, et al, have been fabricated and tacked on to lend weight to the claim by shysters who want to sell doomsday books and trinkets. What exactly do you think is going to happen? The moon's orbit is steady and predictable. The sun isn't sheduled for a major readjustment for a few billion years. No big asteroids have ben detected. There are no significant planetary (or galactic) "alignments" that year, not that these make any difference anyway. Are you expecting someone or something to come and break stuff?

Didn't the "millenium" teach you anything?

Answer 6

i detect that 2012 is an enticing subject count, as there seems a convergence of quite a few different mythologies and predictions popular around that date, yet there is likewise quite a few incorrect information and outright lies approximately it. the belief of the top of the international, the "final days" is pleasing. i in my opinion do no longer settle for the 2012 myths, yet i think of you're able to be in a vacuum to think of that there is no longer something enormous on the horizon, in spite of if or no longer it is an financial give way, environmental disaster, governmental give way (extremely the U. S. gov), or some technology-fiction delusion as portrayed interior the action picture "2012". in spite of the shown fact that, in spite of if the international "ends", bear in mind that it maximum probable is probably unlikely to be the top of each and every little thing. human beings are an adaptive species, and could proceed to exist. there may be discomfort and suffering, yet there has continuously been discomfort and suffering. the stable information is that the fad is often going interior the nicely suited direction. issues are starting to be greater suitable, no longer worse, regardless of what a lot of human beings say. The "end" isn't absolute. All endings are the start of something else. in spite of if the governments of the international collapsed, we'd nevertheless be right here. Being interior the "final days" means that there is a final DAY, meaning that there is additionally a conventional day, to a sparkling beginning. If there relatively is something like that, I liken the discomfort and suffering linked with such an adventure to the discomfort of youngster delivery. do no longer think of of it as an end to this international. think of of it by using fact the delivery of a sparkling, greater suitable international to come back.

Answer 7

It's BS. There is no mention of the world ending in 2012 in Nostradamus, or in any Roman or Greek texts.

It only appears in the Mayans, and even then, 2012 is simply the year that their calendar ends.

Answer 8

I'm not old, but I have heard and seen at least 100 "definite" doomsday predictions rthat have all come and gone. All cite Nostradamus, the bible, and any number of other things. It gets old really quickly.

When I was a teen, the world really seemed like it could and would end at any given moment. We had a doddering zealot in the White House who seemed to have an itchy nuke finger.

It's all BS.

Live like it means something.

Answer 9

doomsday prophecies are BS. All of them.

The Mayans were superstitious and connected a mundane astrological event with the end of the world. Nostradamus' prophecies are heavily generalized, so it's easy to find a fulfillment in an arbitrary anything. Plus, he has a lot of ghost-writers these things trying to bolster his shoddy credit.

Answer 10

No. People thought the year 2000 would be the end, but here we are! Same thing in 2012!

Answer 11

Forget the Mayans, February of 2019 is when a 2-mile wide asteroid has a chance of colliding with the Earth, causing a continent-sized explosion and devastating all life.
