Question:
Im not scared or anything, but this has been bothering me. I mean, theres the movie “2012″, and the Mayans. But for the Mayans, its just that some guy that didnt have enough space to keep track of time and said “Oh, the world will end on that date.” Is there actually proofs, or signs, that we’re near the end of the world?

Question:
Because somebody told me the world might end on 2012 due to a sudden outburst of solar radiation from the sun. They said the sun hasn’t had one since the 1800s and its over due. This time it will be a lot worst because all the greenhouses gases that are burning away our atmosphere and nothing to protect us.
Is this true?
Does the Mayan calender really predict the end of the world in 2012?

Question:
And even if it does, why does that matter? I know they were brilliant astronomers, but what does that haave to do with anything?
From what I’ve read, the Mayan calender is based on a complex series of cycles within cycles. The “Long Count” is set to end in december 2012. That calender has to end sometime, right? Why does everyone claim that the Mayan’s marked this as the end of the world, rather than resetting the date to 0 the same we we reset our year to 00, or our time to 00? A lot of this 2012 excitement comes from the date the mayans set, but it looks the the Mayans weren’t even predicting the end of the world (and once again, so what if they were?)
Just to add, I think the end of the world stuff is a load of crap, even more so since it seems to be based on a completely false premise.
I bet that if the mayan calender didn’t end in 2012 no one would see the other destruction theories. Because Nostradamus says very vague things that will probably apply at some point in the rest of history. And because the bible doesn’t come anywhere close to setting an end date.
