December 13, 200817 yr On December 21, 2012 the Mayan Calender states the world will end after the Winter Solistace. I was dicussing this in class and i think its a load of bull and theres not really enough evidence but you know how some people get. What do you guys think, and why?
December 13, 200817 yr So we got 3 years? Hmm if the Marlins win another championship I get my Masters degree and marry Zooey Deschanel then I'm good...
December 13, 200817 yr :lol There have been over 200 serious predictions of the end of the world, dating back to as early as Anno Domini 44. Obviously, all have been wrong. It is silly to make such predictions with specific dates. People can take a guess, but nobody knows for sure. It even says in the Bible that nobody knows. "Mathew 24:35-36 "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone." Here is a link to all the previous, current, and future guesses for the end of the world Link

What do you guys think, and why? correction, the Mayan calendar does not say the world will "end" in 2012, but the calendar itself simply ends which people have taken to believe it is the end of the world. heres my theory. whoever was writing the calendar simply did not feel like writing anymore and thus stopped. the world is not going to end.

December 13, 200817 yr Vaults will be built for select people to go under and China will nuke the US in 2077. Coca-Cola and Pepsi will be run out by Nuka-Cola. Washington D.C. will be the target site. The apocalypse will settle in D.C., having mutants, ghoul-type peoples, some of which have lost ability to reason, cockroaches will be enormous and be called radroaches, gigantic crazy mole rats will roam our sewers, reading a book will actually make you better at something, people called "raiders" will roam the streets looting places, and you will be running around trying to finish your fathers legacy. Wait, what, nobody ever play Fallout 3 before? Get your facts straight. Everyone knows its going to happen.
December 13, 200817 yr Oh btw, the Mayans were obviously wrong... considering they are not here today :lol :
December 14, 200817 yr On December 21, 2012 the Mayan Calender states the world will end after the Winter Solistace. I was dicussing this in class and i think its a load of bull and theres not really enough evidence but you know how some people get. What do you guys think, and why? Okay I love the Mayan Culture so I can answer your question. The Maya had a very sophisticated calendar system, which was based on the stars more than the seasons. They counted days, and the closest thing their calendar has to years was 360 days long. Apparently they noticed that the stars in the night sky go through a predictable cycle that returns to their chosen starting position about once every 5100 years. Anyway, the big fuss over that date is that the experts have been able to calculate that at exactly that date, the Maya calendar returns to its zero position. There is such anticipation over the date for several reasons: first of all, the accuracy of the calendar proves just how mathematically gifted these people were, and it also proves how carefully they monitored the stars. The calendar is actually more accurate than our own. Secondly, their brilliance motivates us to ask why they chose to begin their calendar at the time they did, and why they decided to measure time by so many millenia. You see, in modern society, it would be considered pointless to base a calendar on any cycle that does not have any significant baring on the economy. Ours returns to its zero position every four years, because it takes about 365.25 days for the earth to complete one trip around the sun. It's practical, because our months, and days are good at predicting the seasons. To us, that's what's most important to the economy, and we assume that's the most logical motivation behind engineering a calendar. This leads us to countless theories about how the Maya calendar predicts grander seasons, like ice ages, and great floods. Some believe it forecasts the orbit of a 10th planet known as planet X, which supposedly has a long, comet-like orbit around the sun. Others think that the calendar was handed to the Maya by a race of extraterrestrials, who make regular trips to earth to nudge us along technologically, mentally, genetically, or even spiritually. Others think it forecasts great doomsday-like events, certain to thin out the human population. It's a really big deal among the mysticists, and attention to it has sky-rocketed in recent years. Global-climate-change-fearing Liberals these days tend to fall into one of two camps: scientist who blame human air-pollution, and mysticism who believe the Maya saw it coming many centuries ago, by simply watching the night sky. In summary the Mayas calculated 12-21-12 to be the next phase in this. People will change and become different, some think with telepathic powers others think we just gain self-awareness in a other and higher level. Now the bible also speak of a change, when Jesus comes back to earth we enter a 1000 year empire in peace and love. So the earth also change when He comes. This would be also connected to 12-21-12. Having said that I don't think the Earth will cease to exist unless we destroy our selves with nuclear bombs. I don't know if this real or not but I keep an open and skeptical mind for things like these. Lastly I will like to add that Newton predicted the world would end on 2060.
December 16, 200817 yr I must do something I have never done before that day comes. Hmmm. :mis2 Bungie jump?
December 17, 200817 yr Author I must do something I have never done before that day comes. Hmmm. :mis2 say something nice about louiecastillo :thumbup *cough or go on a date with me*cough :whistle
December 17, 200817 yr If it does............................................................................ ................................................................................ it does.
December 18, 200817 yr If it does............................................................................ ................................................................................ it does. Um...that's deep?

I was dicussing this in class and i think its a load of bull and theres not really enough evidence but you know how some people get. What do you guys think, and why? No, it's just the end of another calendar cycle. There are actually many, many more digits the calendar would have to go through before the world ends. The world will end in about six billion years when the Sun bloats into a red giant and swallows up Earth.
