There is supposidly a bunch of scientific proof but what do you think is the percentage of this happening

First I do not think there is any scientific proof. The date is significant because that is when the Mayan Calendar ends. It is said that 2012 will end time as we know it and not end life as we know it.

There is no scientific proof to back this up. None at all. If someone says there is then ask for that proof from a scientific journal and not some hack website.
This is nothing more than another end of the world prophecy. We have had tons of them before. They came and went and the world is still here. This and those after will it will come and go. January 1, 2013 will come around and the end of the world crowd will just find another 'prophecy' to harp about.
We have a person who answers later who says that the proof is the numbers at the top of the clock. Ok, whatever. Also says that the Mayan calander has always been right before. Right in what? Telling what day it is? What predictions from the calendar have been right before?
What to watch out for is some wacko who believes this prophecy and somehow has access to nuclear weapons. The wacko might decide that he needs to make the prophecy come true. Maybe we should ask the presidential candidates what they think of the prophecy. If they answer that they think the world ends in 2012 then we should not vote for them based on that alone.

I'm sure the world will end one day, but I don't think it will end in 2012. I'm unaware of any "scientific proof" so I say there is a 0% chance of the world ending in 2012. It just seems like another Y2K scare where nothing will happen.

I'm assuming people are telling you that this doomsday planet the size of jupiter will flyby in 2012, and they claim it has a 3600 year orbit.
I can tell you it is not true. Why?
1) The world didn't end 3595 years ago. Correct me if i didn't notice, but to my knowledge it never did.
2) We aren't seeing a higher amount of asteroids and/or comets flying towards us. Gravitational influence.
3) We aren't seeing the supposed doomsday planet. If it was approaching in 2012, it should be billions of miles away, maybe round Pluto there. Pluto's orbit isn't screwed up.... nor are we seeing it turning into a moon.
Come January 2013, comes the time for those people who thought it was doomsday to laugh.

I don't think there is any real scientific proof. I think the reason you think that is because the Mayans had a prediction that stated the world would end in 2012. Actually, they said the fourth (???) age would end, and the 5th age would begin. Because their calendars and time keeping mechanisms were so incredibly accurate, people give more credence to their predictions.

I belive in 2012
But you ask how much percentage??? What do you mean how much percentage?
%%%%%%
Okay so the top 5 numbers on a clock are 10-11-12-1-2
if you take a 2-0-1-2 out you're left with 1-1-1-1 !!!
and on 2012...the time of that event is 11:11am
Did you know that!?!?!?
oh yea....and the mayan calendar......end in 2012.....and it's like.....over 5000 years old....NEVER EVER HAD A SINGLE ERROR!! always right.....so.....if you want apercentage of the times that calendar has been right...it's 100%
So going by that...100% change the world will end 2012!

Unless there's some sort of dooms day device stashed away or an unknown asteroid heading strait for us then no. There have been thousands of "the world is going to end on" prophecies.
I'll give you this. Is it possible? Yes.
Will it? Probably not.

to estimate something as large scale as that to a single year would be pretty clever and i would imagine impossible.
anyway, if the world is gonna end then how come more people havent heard of this statement.
i think 0%

Someone somewhere has claimed the world will end over the past several hundred years. If it does, there is nothing we can do about it, so enjoy each day.

That is the Mayan theory. I don't put much into it. A lot of people thought it would end at the millenium and we are still here.
