How come most people believe the world will not end in 2012?

Question:
I came across many websites and many of them say the world will not end in 2012, even though the 2012 doomsday scenario is popular today. But there’s no evidence of the world ending in 3 years I was told: no real galactic alignment (that’s only seen from earth), we won’t cross the galactic equator on dec. 21, 2012, no planet x, Solar Maximum is now predicted for 2013. I also was told a possibility that the Long Count Calendar’s 2012 is off from the Gregorian 2012 by 75 years.
I know many people believe in the 2012 scenario, but more people don’t believe in it than those who do
I also read the Mayan calendar itself does not end, just the Long Count cycle, just like 1999 going into 2000 (the 2nd millennium actually ended in 2000 and rolled over into the 3rd millennium in 2001) and the 2000s decade will end this year and roll into the 2010s next year.
But is it true the calendar itself ends or just the cycle?
