    You know when the Mayans said that the world would end it doesn't mean it would literally go *boomdone*. It's more like...the end of an era and the beginning of a new one.

    But then again the Mayan calender completely ends in 2012.

    Guess we'll just have to wait and see when the date in question comes to pass.

    Off-note:

    The world has been slated to end so many times it's no wonder people don't take them seriously anymore.
     
  3. I hate theories like this T-T. I don't believe them, I mean, wasn't the world suppose to end in line, June 6, 2006, or something? But still, it's quite scary to think of, and it really bothers me. I hate thinking that I'm about to die in this due date along with everyone else.

    Hopefully, if the world does end, I'll be dead, buried or burned, and won't have to experience it, I want to live my life, until it really ends or the time truly comes (and I don't mean by the world ending). Though I'll feel for my future generations...

    well 2012 is the year of Complete planitary alignment, who knows what could happen. But I don't think to, alothough seeing Venus go across the sun will be fun I just don't think the world will end.

    I highly doubt the world will end because of this prophecy. It may end in 2012 for other reasons. Also, define the world ending. There is a difference between humanity being wiped out and the world as we know it ending. One could be good for us. The other good for the planet lol

    Mra, that 666 thing is a hoax. The real number is 999 or something. People got confused while drunk, who knows how it grew to being solidly 666, if I'm even making sense ATM.

    Uh, lesse. The Mayans were correct about every single phenomenon they predicted, yes? Sooo, why wouldn't they be correct about the 2012 one? :/ Go ancients, go. But then again there's that whole "lol no way, we can't just go bye-bye like that" thing soooo. . . B| Be patient and in due time.

    The number is either 616 or 666. It depends on which language you use to translate the Ancient Hebrew or something >_>

    Also, did they not say the world as we know it will end? Not necessarily a bad thing >_>

    I actually read up on this stuff once. They never said the world was going to end. They just said it'll be the end of an era, and the start of a new one. What with their bakutans and whatnot. <_<

    Maybe aliens and stuff'll finally come to Earth. And hopefully they're peaceful.

    Well there is a US election That year so maybe the new presedent will FINALLY recognise that the planet is in danger and will DO something about it. The end of the era of Ignorance you might say.

    I thought the world was supposed to end on New Years Eve, 1992 according to Ghostbusters...I mean if they got it wrong, who can say?

    I think the Aztec view of 2012 being considered the end of all things is similar to many cultures and religions different perspectives on the 'end of days' or 'armageddon'.

    Is it true, we weren't there, we don't know the culture besides artifacts. I find it fascinating but i'll just have to wait 4 years.

    Maybe that's when the New England Patriots will finally lose....

    well...the sun will eventually expand and burn up the Earth although the Earth might not be swallowed (the Sun will have less mass and less gravity allowing Earth to escape) it will become a radioactive melted wastland. Society keeps trying to tell us the world will end soon but the people who say that are always wrong...my guess is that a meteor will kill us or maybe the sun will...oh well i doubt i'll be alive by the time the human race is destroyed by something.

    This thread already exists in the Debate Section. I'm putting it out there because I'm too lazy to get a mod.

    That won't happen. People have been predicting the end of the world for years. This is just something that can't be done, at least on human standards.

    I think most of it is nonsense. I'm open to these ideas, but it sounds no different than that 06/06/2006 crap, that had thousands of people getting on their knees and shouting to the heavens for forgiveness. Apparently, most people don't give a damn about spiritual salvation until they're about to kick the bucket.

    Well, with all the wars coming on, maybe even world war 3, global warming, terriost, and just complete choas, it might end. And the Aztecs and the Mayas thought of this first, the Aztec calender said they were going to end when Cortes came, and they did. So I don't wanna say they are wrong about this too.
