2012 prophecy: true or false?

[brodiaea]

hmn. So.

1. this 2012 "prediction" isnt really a prediction. its just an ending of the 13th cycle of the Mayan count (i think its the katun, but i'm probably wrong. its been a bit since I studied the Maya) its more like the end of a millenium.

2. any cataclysmic event predicted in the mayan codices would probably refer to events in their own sphere rather than any global event. e.g. programs that play up the 2012 hype usually note that the mayans refered to a time of war around the 1960's. the programs say that this refers to vietnam/korea/aftermath of ww2- in a usa/euro-centric way. BUT if you are going to follow the prediction hype, it probably has to do with la violencia in guatemala that was focused towards the ethnically mayan portion of the population. SO, it'd probably be good to infer that if there is any kind of world changing event, it would be centered around mayans.

3. enjoy the newest y2k style fad.

Warning, this isn't for anyone who: isn't seriously concern, thinks nothing is wrong, believes humans' are causing global warming, is close minded, believes the heart is nothing more than a blood pump, and so on.

Only those searching for Truth are allowed to find it.

Unknown, as I said in another thread, it hasn't hit yet, it's in the future, and nobody knows what will happen. I bet you if I asked you guys the day before Michael Jackson died, a lot of you would be like.."nah, that wont happen."

Mayan calendar predicts the end of the world in 2012. Will it really? 14% chance it will. Why it is most likely not, is because of this...

The measure of the Mayan Calendar was called a baktun, a baktun last 400 years. the current baktun number is 13 (Some people belive 13 is unlucky, and that is one of the many reasons people think the world will end.) The current baktun (13) will end on December 20, 2012.

Now, time to connect that with Mayan religion. Mayans believed that there was a world before this one. That world ended on the 13th baktun. Now they thought this world will end on the 13th baktun.

The calendar was nothing, but based on the Mayans religion.



Now if that 14% came true. Here what I think would happen.

If Mayans meant just humanity would end, then were just like a Mars, another lifeless planet.

If Mayans meant the world. Then it's The End for about forty million years. Without Earth gravity in the Solar System would go out of whack. Over time. That causes a problem. Eventually, were back where the Solar System started. Matter begins forming again. We eventually get to formation of the Earth again, with Panga and all that. Evolution starts all over again. Soon, we will be back to where we are today. Then this 13 baktun happens again, without the "third" world knowing it, we start the process all over again. Until, the sun blows up im 5 billion years. But then the matter from the sun, forms something else, and we start ALL of that all over again, with sun number two.



The world will either end in 2012 or 500002009

another fact is that pole shifts take 5000 years to complete.
If a pole shift actually occured that day, then it would not be until December 21, 7012 for it to complete. You won't be alive by then.

Oh thats good I be dead then! I don't have to experince it.
But because people believe it so much it could happen! because of the law of attraction. If we make or tell them it is not true! then it should not happen.

The predictions maybe right but not yet the end, our beloved Sir Isaac Newton has correctly predicted that the world would end in the year 5066ad and by the time comes, we're all just nothing but a gravestone, the atmosphere of Earth may slowly become weaker because of the freaking core cooling down and thus the last Geomagnetic reversal happened about 750,000 yrs ago, so the polar shift needs about 5,000 yrs to complete and reverse the human race, but see how the dinosaurs lived up too, 350 million yrs. That, for us, we only live less than 1 million. One idea proposed in films involves a geomagnetic reversal (often incorrectly referred to as a polar shift by proponents of this hypothesis), which could be triggered by a massive solar flare, one with energy equal to 100 billion atomic bombs. This belief is supposedly supported by observations that the Earth's magnetic field is weakening, which indicates an impending reversal of the north and south magnetic poles. Scientists believe the Earth is overdue for a geomagnetic reversal, and has been for a long time, even since the time of the Mayans, because the last reversal was 780,000 years ago. Critics, however, claim geomagnetic reversals take up to 5,000 years to complete, and do not start on any particular date. Also, NOAA now predicts that the solar maximum will peak in 2013, not 2012, and that it will be fairly weak, with a below-average number of sunspots. In any case, there is no scientific evidence linking a solar maximum to a geomagnetic reversal. A solar maximum would be mostly notable for its effects on satellite and cellular phone communications. And this has been proved okay? Now people nothing to be worried about, if you relax and sleep then you wouldn't know you are dead from a post-apocalyptic ending of the world.... lol rofl mrgreen

WRONG. They NEVER predicted the end of the world.

The end of their calender ISN'T the end of the world. Its their New Years.

[cosumiku]

if youre christian, youd know that this is all false. jesus said the end will be when you least expect it. even if i wasnt christian, i still would never believe this. so....ifyou're christian and we all expect it to be tomorrow, then the day after that, and continulously, the world will never end! xD

[Feared and Fearless]

There is a possibility that solar flares will cause the Yellowstone volcano to explode, creating a nuclear winter, shrouding the world in toxic gasses, etc.

Poles might switch, a planet might collide with Earth... who knows.

But scientists have determined that the odds of anything like this happening on Dec 21. 2012 is the same as the odds of it happening any other day, almost impossible. It's just as likely the world will end tomorrow.


It's just the beginning of a new cycle.

[jiarrah]

In my opinion, I don't believe it because the Bible says that not even Jesus knows when the end of the world will happen.
