This isn't the last cycle of the mayan calendar; just the end of another one.

I always love watching these sort of things on History Channel and Nat. Geo. Not a true believer though. Just interesting.

The best counterpoint I've heard on this is, if the Mayan's predicted "doomsday" why didn't they predict their own?

I do plan on looking for crazy deals on the nuts who will be selling their entire lives for next to nothing.

How many times have we heard the world or civilization was coming to an end....

The problem with all these predictions and the so call prophets is the news and other people do not go back to these people after the fact and embarrass the hell out of these people. These people should be publicly ridiculed, when science and engineering screws up or jump ahead of facts people come down all over these and the people involved. But when these so called prophet/leaders make these statement no one goes back to them and force them to explain why they were idiots and wrong.

The prefect example is the Y2K events that all these people were running around saying the whole world would stop. They had people on TV talking about all the bad things that will happen, even people who had all these stuff stored up since they were convince you would not be able to buy stuff after Y2K. I asked the local news why then never went back to these folks and publicly embarrass them, and they said it was not interesting or news worthy.

I personally would find it very interesting to put these people to shame and make sure they go into hiding in a hole and never pop their heads out.

Face it most of these predictions are about people creating FUD and separating stupid people from their money.

I think it is interesting as well. Definitely don't believe it though. I don't think it makes sense for any Christian to believe a Mayan prophet... unless they heard it from the fiery bush God. :

I dont know.... i beleived that 6/6/06 was gonna be it. but i woke up that day and my penis didnt fry off. so i dont think ill beleive 21/2012.

but they say the world ends when the 4 corners of the earth go to battle in israel (or somewhere in the reigon) and a river of blood is formed from the death of all the soldiers.

i dont know if it will happen, but if it does, you can def. spot me a mile away waving my trini flag in the air, blasting some soca music, and a massive spliff in my mouth. dont worry, ill be holding an E90post rally point flag. i bring the herb, but someone's gonna need to bring alot of zippo lighter fluid... lol

its not really about the Mayans and religion anymore. Its becoming a fact since it is scientifically proven by NASA that at that time the solar system will be passing the equinox of the milky way which will then change then make the south and north pole shift and basically switch spots. And because of this pole switch, there is going to be tsunamis, hurricanse, earthquakes, volcanic erruptions and every thing you could think of.

Just go watch youtube, there is a bunch of videos on this where physicists talk about it.

I really didn't believe this stuff at first either until i saw those videos.

But w/e, just live your life to the fullest and if this day comes, we'll just have to deal with it.

An asteroid will hit earth that day...i've been following the trajectory of this asteroid on my amateur home telescope...now that u brought up this date i did some calculation and it has a 80% chance of hitting Earth.


the asteroid is 7 miles long and 4 miles wide, if it hits, we are done...



i snapped a pic of it with my camera phone

The poles aren't going to switch in a year alone..
"It may be near zero in another few thousand years at this rate."
Once again, people are just spinning information to fit their "theory" so that they can become famous. People can predict anything without repercussions, and then if it comes true they receive all the praise in the world and are hailed as a genius, while their false predictions are forgotten. Mass hysteria also helps, whenever you mention the extinction of all man kind on a certain date, it's kind of hard to stop these rumors.

"During the last 20 million years the fossil record shows 60 reversals, and that the period between reversals seems to be slowly decreasing and getting shorter" -NASA.gov
TRIASSIC - 245 to 208 million years ago
JURASSIC - 208 to 146 million years ago
CRETACEOUS - 146 to 65 million years ago

It's amazing how there is still life on earth.. There may be a ton of natural disasters, but the extinction of all living things??

Don't fuel the fire..
"The risk of an impact by asteroid 2004 MN4 went up slightly on Saturday, Dec. 25. It is now pegged at having a 1-in -45 chance of striking the planet on April 13, 2029. That's up from 1-in-63 late on Dec. 24, and 1-in-300 early on Dec. 24.

Astronomers still stress that it is very likely the risk will be reduced to zero with further observations. And even as it stands with present knowledge, the chances are 97.8 percent the rock will miss Earth." -Space.com

I guess you're right about people making up rumours, but its not just one random person saying this, its a bunch of educated people.

Also, I never said anything about extinction. I just said that we're gonna die. Now in one of those videos that I saw in which the phsysicist was talkign about, he said that if this phenomenon takes place, most likely 6 billion people will die which leaves about 750 million to repopulate the Earth.

We'll just have to wait and see.

you think Nasa will announce to the world if they found a doomsday asteroid? Knowing they are funded by the government and if shit like that leaked out it would cause riots and mass religious hysteria all around the world? nah they keep it to themselves and try to find a way to deal with it, so we can go on about our everyday life. and if they can't stop it, they announce at the last minute....'sorry guys we been keeping this from you but you're fucked soon'

bam, dead, done...

Do you know how often "educated" people are wrong?? How often they say certain things are good for your health, but end up being detrimental??
The thing with educated people is that they are the same as the uneducated, when in groups they all agree with each other regardless of having different opinions or not. They all strive so hard to be correct, perhaps more so than the uneducated, so they easily jump on a bandwagon.
Take Solomon Asch's experiment involving conformity for example.

Do you mean Edgar Cayce??
Quote:
"He maintained that Atlantis had a civilization which was technologically superior to our own, and that its last surviving islands had disappeared in the area of the Caribbean some ten thousand years ago. His most specifically timed forecast was that Atlantis would rise again in 1968 or 1969."
Cayce forecast that, by the end of the century, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco would be destroyed. He said that "the greater portion of Japan must go into the sea" at this time, and that northern Europe would be "changed as in the twinkling of an eye."
Yeah.. all of them.. That's only two, I don't feel like listing the rest.

I'll list some Nostradamus prophecies as well..
Quote:
The assassination of President Bush in 2006. Usually these predictions take place within a year or so of the original date.

Quote:
The year 1999 seven month,
From the sky will come a great King of terror:
To bring back to life the great King of Angolmois, (the Mongols),
Before after Mars to reign by good luck.
Apparently this was the prediction of 9/11. (2 years before it happened)
Quote:
According to the prophet, Genghis Khan and his empire are now returning in another incarnation. Eerily 1990, the leaders of the People’s Republic of China restored Genghis Khan to his “rightful” place in Chinese history.
If you cite Nostradamus's prediction on 2012 and you're a Christian, apparently you believe in reincarnation.
Quote:
At forty-five degrees, the sky will burn,
Fire approaches the great new city,
Immediately a huge, scattered flame leaps up
When they want to have verification from the Norman
Apparently people have interpreted this as 45 degrees Latitude and claim he is talking about NY, the trade centers. (45 degrees off the horizon seems to be what he was actually describing.)
The thing about most all predictions is that they are very vague, and leave a large amount of room for interpretation. Nostradamus mastered this in his writings, and that is why he was so famous in his time, he figured out he could leave enough room for interpretation that almost all of his believers would find them true. In these predictions people also often throw in a "may" or "might", they never say "will" happen.

It would be extremely hard for them to keep something of that magnitude under wraps.
