Critically examining the "End of the World"
Do you believe that the world is either going to end or the earth will do a polar shift on 12-21-12?
The following is a question being asked on Yahoo Answers. Both the questions and answers given do not reflect the view of our website.
Question:
My boyfriend had me watch these shows (hours & hours of them) on the history channel last night. All talking about Nostredaumus’ predcitions, as well as other predictions. Concluding that the world will end on Dec. 21st, 2012. If not end, then at least do a polar shift, causing the north & south poles to switch places in a matter of days & causing great floods & hurricanes & other natural disasters (which no one would survive, from the sound of it). Now I can’t quit thinking & worrying. What’s your opinion? If you don’t believe it’s true, please tell why. Thank you!

No,Because only God can decide whether the world will End or Not.

Nope.
Those TV shows and magazines and books (even a movie coming out!) are written to scare those people who as scientifically ignorant, or to scare little children into behaving, like boogeyman stories.
Which are you, ignorant or childish?

We get most of this ’12 stuff from the Mayans. You’re seriously going to take seriously a prophecy from people who played a soccer-like game to decide who was fit to be sacrificed to the gods? And, in all honesty, if their prophecies were any good, then why are all the Mayans dead? That fortune-telling definitely helped them!

Things like that are BS.

No 2012 is a load of crap. Nothing special will happen then.
As for a polar shift, they happen on a regular basis, and we are due for one. However, polar shifts have been occurring for billions of years without any disasters. Don’t expect any disaster from the next polar shift as well. In fact all that will happen is that the north magnetic pole and the south magnetic pole will switch sides, nothing else.

For the 14 millionth time no. This kind of question must get asked at least 10 times per day. The Mayan long count calendar does not predict the end of the world, it just ends. A good analogy I saw someone else give in another question was that we don’t assume that the world is going to end after the 31st December every year when our calendar ends.
None of the doomsday scenarios which people have concocted are likely. Either due to the event being impossible or not having the consequences that people seem to think they will. As far as “polar shifts” go, for the avoidance of doubt (and for the last bloody time) a polar shift is the physical rotation of the earth’s crust and mantle around the core. They have been theorised but there is no verified evidence that they happen. What Emily C is referring to is a geomagnetic reversal, not a polar shift. Geomagnetic reversals a relatively common, are thought to take several thousand years to complete and do not have catastrophic effects.

Even if the earth was to do a polar shift, it wouldn’t happen on one day. It would take thousands of years in the making.!!!

The claimed 2012 doomsday is a hoax. Everything the scam artists are saying about 2012 is untrue. Go to 2012hoax.org and read about it. I think that will calm your fears.
The Mayan calendar doesn’t end, it just recycles. The Maya didn’t predict anything for 2012. They didn’t make prophecies and the end of one cycle and start of another was an event to celebrate.
There were no ancient prophecies concerning 2012. Nostradamus never mentioned 2012. No one predicted it before the hoaxers started claiming it. This was after their 2003 doomsday failed to occur on schedule and they needed to keep selling their books and assorted doomsday garbage.
None of it is said or supported by scientists.
All the claimed astronomical events are either impossible or have no effect on us.
The Solar maximum is now expected to occur in May 2013 and won’t hurt us. It could interfere with electronics and communications.
We aren’t going to have any alignments aside from the approximate alignment that occurs every year at the December solstice.
Geomagnetic reversal (polar reversal) takes hundreds to thousands of years to occur. We wouldn’t even feel it happening.
Nibiru doesn’t exist. It came from Z. Sitchen’s misinterpretation of ancient Sumerian references to the planet Jupiter. Even Sitchen didn’t claim it would come back in 2012 (he said 2085). Nancy Lieder, who hears aliens in her head and originally said her “Planet X” would be here in 2003) took over Sitchen’s imaginary planet and changed her doomsday date to 2012 when her original prediction failed.
That covers most of the absurd claims. The world will still be here after 2012, along with most of us.
