Question:
The “end of the world” 2012 prediction has thus far been based off of Nostradamus predictions alone, however some of Nostradamus’s predictions have been (not wrong per-say) but not all parts of the predictions happened or were accurate. So are we really going to let this one mans “dream” be our belief (obviously not everyone thinks the world will end in 2012). Or do you think that we should realize that, people have been “PREDICTING” the end of the world for centuries, their predictions never held true, why should we go by his?
actually no, if you do the history you will find that we discovered Nostadamus’s prediction well before the calander.
Very good point Robert, thank you I did not take that into account. However where do you stand? Are you a believer, or a skeptic?

I know, 2012 Mayan calender bullshit, I know its not real, But i know its a good Subject to make a Sci-fi movie over.

Why are people making movies about this? btw go to http://www.universetoday.com he proves that the 2012 Theory is fake and the world will not end on that date. Yeah anyway, Back to the subject aswell, Why are people worrying about the date when nothing is going to happen. Well i obviously know its a good Subject to base it on.
