What The Heck Is Suppose To Happen In 2012?

No, Nostradamus didn’t predict anything about 2012. His “predictions” are so vague that they can be “interpreted” to mean anything, and all of his so-called successful predictions were found after the events (sounds very suspicious to me…).
The current 2012 hoax was started by some nutjobs in 2003. Their prediction that the world would end in 2003 obviously failed (they got the prediction from some aliens communicated from 39 light years away through “brain implants” – riiiight).
Then, to make it more believable to the people that don’t bother to research anything and know nothing about science, the added a bunch of words that sound scientific (like “galactic alignment” and “rogue planet” and “pole shifts”) and suddenly its become a huge pile of trash.
Sony simply decided to cash in on a good thing and use the panic to market a movie.
The entire claim that the Earth was going to end in 2012 is based on a *misinterpretation* of the Mayan calender, which appears to those who don’t know how to read it to end in 2012.
In reality, the Mayan calender is a cyclic calender, meaning it runs in a cycle. (Much like a car’s odometer, which, when it reaches 999,999 miles, will click back over and start at 000,000 again.) The people who are claiming that the Mayans predicted the end of the world are reading the Mayan calender as if it was a linear calender like ours. It’s not. The Mayans did NOT predict the end of the world. They did NOT make any claims of the sort. The people who say that the Mayans said anything like that are people who know NOTHING about the Mayan culture, don’t know how to read the Mayan calender, and have NO idea what they’re talking about.
Either way, why anyone would attach any sort of significance to a perceived “prediction” made by an ancient civilization that couldn’t even predict it’s own downfall is beyond logical comprehension. (Not that any end-time theorists in the history of mankind are known for their logic or comprehension skills.) It’s particularly baffling that it’s Christians who seem to have grabbed on to this, and use it to back up their religion’s end-time fantasy, when under ANY other circumstances they would say that the Mayans beliefs were “false beliefs”.
Now Hollywood is throwing gasoline on the fire by making a movie about it.
Just in the past few hundred years, there have been THOUSANDS of end-time predictions made…NONE of which have come true. Why on Earth people don’t learn from this, and still panic when a new end-time prediction comes along is beyond me. The human race really needs to snap out of it, start using their heads, stop being so ridiculously gullible, and stop buying into this superstitious nonsense.
It’s just another in a long list of things that have been ‘predicted’ that will likely not come to pass. It, to me at least, is just another thing that we cannot explain precisely and therefore have given some kind of apocalyptic meaning to. Maybe the Mayan calendar makers just got tired of continuing a calendar that they would never see come to fruition.
Chicken Little Rules! Go Chicken Little, go!
Seriously, there will be an alignment of certain celestial bodies…
But aside from that 2012 won’t be much different than 2011 or 2013.
The whole thing got its start as people needed a future doomsday event since the whole Y2K thing fizzled without anything more than a dimly heard whimper.
And so pop culture came along with a new “thing” and interpreted the end of the long-count Mayan calendar to mark the end of the world. That, and the alignment of the heavenly bodies (planets, stars, etc).
Earth has gone through some major headaches for mankind (earthquakes, storms, and so on), but on its own schedule, not any alignment or man-made calendar.
In the meantime, people have started to make money on the whole thing, just like a lot of companies made money on the Y2K “problem” and M$ used their bad code to permanently retire older, working software.
dec. 21 2012, is the last day on the Mayan calendar. not a big deal really, they just had a system that wouldn’t keep going on forever like the one we use now. the world isn’t going to end, the rapture isn’t going to happen, the anti-Christ will not be born/take power. it’s just a day like any other, except that it happens to occur on Yule, the original Christmas that the Christians stole prom the Pagans and made it their own to get more people to convert. but other than that, nothing big is going to happen.
It is similar to the scare of 2000 where nothing happened.
Have Faith in God. Trust the Lord and He will see you through this error of mankind.
Fear is the Toxic Disease that is killing people, along with anger, anxiety, resentment, bitterness, divorce, fight/flight, rejection and stress that accompanies it. The spirit of fear is a great evil in this world today.
Nostradamus could mean anything from his dribble, but the Holy Bible has never, never been wrong.
Maybe it will be alot like the movie that comes out this Friday. Or, maybe we’ll pass htrough some charged particles and spontaneously start to evolve or our next generation of children will be more evolved. Or maybe lots of alien ships will descend and invite us aboard. Nobody really knows for sure, but those are a few of the theories. All I know is I can’t wait to see what happens, if anything. It’s a fascinateing time to be embodied. Namaste
Common sense debunking of 2012 doomsday prophesies. This source is a good article to read on three reasons regarding 2012.
NASA the world won’t end in 2012http://astrobiology.nasa.gov/ask-an-astr…
the ancient mayan calendar just stopped in 2012. some people think this means the mayans believed the apocalypse would happen then. most scientists think this is just superstitous BS and no astronomical thing is going to happen.
Every time a 2012 question is asked … A puppy dies ..
Please …for the sake of the puppies … stop asking …
Edit – ROFLMAO @ Elly
You are supposed to buy worthless 2012 memorabilia to help people make an extra buck so that they can but that nice car you always wanted.
Mayan calendar also ends on 2012.
Supposed to be apocalypse or rapture or something. Sounds exciting!
That is when the Mayan calendar ends, and some scientists think that the earth’s poles are going to shift resulting in natural disasters.
nothing different than the usual hatred and wars….so pray for GODS KINGDOM…HOLLywood will do anything to sell tickets.
In answer to the hi-lighted portion of the question, an important election.
N.A.F.T. (acronym for ‘not a damn thing’) will happen in 2012.
The same thing that happens in every year.
the sun will “burn out” and the earth will freeze
What better way to sell a movie? Marketing genius.
well i don’t think it supposed to happen but i think it is just the movie.
Nothing.
A couple of idiots on here started a false rumour and it’s spreading, that’s all.
The girl scouts… They’re planning something… Don’t let them know we’re on to them…
The end of the world, but it’s complete and utter BS. Even the descendants of Mayans think it’s BS.
According to some people they think the world will end !
i’ll finish my bachelors in Marine Sciences, inshAllah!!!
da world aint gona end
