Some say that the world will end on that year and in my opinion I say yes,why because I know,that and it says so in the Mayan calendar.I know,it's stupid and all but the Mayan were really advanced and most of things they predicted came true.So why not this?

Yes, and it's not true.\n\nThe Long Count Calendar of the Maya does NOT end on 12-21-2012.  \n\nWhat happens is that it rolls over from 12 Baktuns to 13 Baktuns (a Baktun is about 400 years).  Like our calendar going from 1999 to 2000.\n\nThere IS something happening that day, though. It's a grand astronomical alignment between the sun and the milky way.  When the sun comes up against the dark area of the Milky way, according to the Maya it's being reborn and so a new age starts.\n\nAs far as our age ending, it already happened and none of you even noticed.  We're in the birth pangs of the new world coming in now.

WOW, I was unaware that the world is going to end tomorrow... I didn't get the memo. It isn't on my calendar. Who told you this?\n\nIs it the same group that said that the world was going to end on June 6, 1906?

Only God knows when the world will end. It ends for someone every day if you really think about it.\n\nGood luck!\nG.G.

yes, I have heard of these predictions, but no, I do not believe the world will end then. \n\nPeople have been predicting the end of the world since the beginning of time or at least the beginning of Christianity. The bible does not predict the end as far as the actual date, but the New Testament writers believed it would happen in their day or very soon.\n\nEven John opened the book of Revelation with the remark that these things must soon come to pass. \n\nI am only 54 and in my short life I have seen the end of the world dates come and go 4 times just off the top of my head and more that I would have to think about. \n\nBack in 1991 with the first Iraq war people used Nostradamus predictions to claim that 1991 was the year would end. \n\nthose predictions are so vague that anyone can interpret them in any way. \nas far as the Mayans, some believe they meant the end of the world in 2012 while others believe that it predicts a great change similar to that which destroyed the dinosaurs. There again it is dependent on interpretation.

ummm people will die, people will be born. There will be an election in the US and probably several other countries. There will be hurricanes, earthquakes, floods. There will also be a bunch of new TV shows, and some guy will win the lottery. Basically it is going to be the same as every other year.\n\nNow if you are referring to the fact that it is the end of the Mayan calendar, and several freaks out there are predicting the end of the world, well don't worry. They have never been right yet. And what did they Mayans know, if they were so smart they would still be around.\nRemember all the people that said the year 2000 was going to be a big disaster? guess what... nothing.\nSame thing different calendar. \n\nNow go out and enjoy what time you have left.... heh.

The end of the world as we now know it.

I don't know and i don't think anyone living knows for sure. What i do know is that, we will know when the end is approaching just like Jesus said, he said when we see fruits on a tree, then we know summer approaches, so will the end be too. All the wars and all the deception being spread around are things Jesus pointed out will be happening when the end comes.

I believe we are living in the last days, if you read the Bible you will see that a lot of the prophecies have come to pass.  It may be 10 or 20 more years but yes, I do believe these are the end times.

No.  The Bible says at the end of time, the Earth will be as it was in the days of Noah, when people's minds thought of evil continually.  So yeah, things are only getting worse.  Hopefully, Jesus won't wait too much longer.

Odds are the world will end in about 5 billion years when the sun explodes.\n\nHumans will probably end much sooner though.

The Mayan calendar does not predict the end of the world on Dec 12th 2012. \nThe exact date of the end of the current Mayan Long Count is still a matter of debate amongst Mayan scholars, although it is likely to be around Dec 21 2012. \nThe Mayan calendar is cyclical, and there are names for cycles longer than 13 bactuns of the Long Count which are coming to an end in 2012. \nEven if the Mayans did believe that the world would come to an end at the end of the Long Count, there is no reason to assume that they have any special knowledge which would allow them to make this prediction correctly. You are free to believe the Sun won't come up tomorrow, but it will anyway.... \n\n\nThe fact that the winter solstice on 2012 is "aligned" with the plane of the Galaxy has no significance. \nIt takes the winter solstice 700-1400 years to cross the plane of the Galaxy. \nThe solstice last year (2005) was within 0.1 degrees (or 1/5th the size of the Sun) of where it will be on 2012. \nThe Sun crosses the plane of the Milky Way twice every year with no ill effect.
