Why Do People Insist The World Is Ending In 2012?

“…when a calendar comes to the end of a cycle, it just rolls over into the next cycle. In our Western society, every year 31 December is followed, not by the End of the World, but by 1 January. So 13.0.0.0.0 in the Mayan calendar will be followed by 0.0.0.0.1 – or good-ol’ 22 December 2012, with only a few shopping days left to Christmas.” – Excerpt from Dr Karl’s “Great Moments in Science”.

People have been studying history, and ancient calendars very closely, and apparently, all of the events that have been predicted, are so close to what actually happened, it’s scary. The ancient Mayan calendar ends at the year 2012, which people don’t know why that is, and people say that the Mayans predict the world will end. I say they just got tired of predicting so far into the future.
they mean your world and that if you don’t figuar out what it is that you have to do by then to help yourself out you will get older and lose something you don’t know you have yet . most likely something you really want and need . and you can never make it up its lost for ever and ever . good luck
Certain people made a lot of hype about it, to sell merchandise or just for the sake of making waves. I don’t think a significant amount of people really believe in that stuff. Do people really think the Mayans would just keep on working on their calender until the year 234298234234^2?
Well…It’s something that doesnt have an answer quite yet, and your asking it as eveyrone who beleives it is stupid, in which most cases they are!!
But some people…how do i put this…They Kind of created the mayans again…And its like their cult…0.0..I’m nto sure if there are any real ones…, but when people heard about the calendar…In my town…there are some cults happening 0.0
S000…Beleive what you want XD i think its a bunch of lies
The world will not end in 2012 because no Hindu scripture says so about any such possibility. These are all imaginary events.
Retarded, gullible, deluded people will believe ANYTHING you present with authority and enerty… Just look at how Obama got elected.
Here are some articles/videos on the specific reasons people say that the world will end…
They go all the way from the Mayan Calendar to solar flares to the destruction of the ionosphere to aliens coming back to harvest humans to “Mine Gold” for them in the astroid belt.
Stupid and/or crazy people will believe ANYTHING!

Few people have destroyed the world more than Roland Emmerich. In his mega-hit “Independence Day,” aliens laid waste to pretty much every metropolitan center on the planet, and in his eco-thriller “The Day After Tomorrow,” much of the northern hemisphere finds itself buried under ice. In his third crack at presenting the apocalypse, this fall’s “2012,” Emmerich taps into the angst of thousands of astrologers, doomsday enthusiasts, and conspiracy theorists who fear that a massive cataclysm will strike the earth on December 21 of that year. Yet unlike previous dates tied to the Earth’s expiration, this one has its roots in various sources throughout history including interpretations of the Mayan calendar, astrology, and the ancient Chinese fortune-telling text the “I-Ching.”

Though the plot is fictional, this scenario has occurred many times in the real world. In 1997 Michael Drosnin published a best-selling book titled "The Bible Code," in which he claimed that the Bible contained a code (hidden in numbers and letters) accurately predicting past world events. Drosnin's work was later refuted, with critics demonstrating that the "meanings" he found were simply the result of selectively choosing data sets from a vast sea of random letters.
Similar "hidden codes" were found in other books such as "Moby Dick" and "War and Peace," demonstrating that any sizeable text can produce such codes if you look long enough.
In psychology, the tendency for the human mind to find coincidences, patterns, and connections in random data is called apophenia.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Apopheniahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophenia
Apophenia is the experience of seeing patterns or connections in random or meaningless data. The term was coined in 1958 by Klaus Conrad,[1] who defined it as the "unmotivated seeing of connections" accompanied by a "specific experience of an abnormal meaningfulness".

I am not positive, but I believe it is due to the mayan calander and the fact that the Earth will be closer to a black hole than it ever was in history. I hope my answer helped. best wishes.
Why are christians so desperate to see death and destruction?
Why do they seek mass slaughter?
Why do they base their hopes on pagan religions?
Is that really christian thinking?!!
To put it simply: for the same reason that people enjoy horror movies, believe in astrology or think that crystals can effect them. (Not that liking horror movies means a person is ignorant)
Because people are gullible idiots.
December 22 is my birthday
Because catastrophic things will happen in 2012, it’s no ‘end’ though.
The Media exploits it
They don’t, but they just say it will because they like to scare people and think it works.
because they’re ignorant
i don’t know anyone who insists this, only the never ending stream of idiotic questions about it here…
nothing is gonna happen to the world……believe me…..if something is then run to the nearest church and start praying
This is simple…because these people are nuts!
Months ago while browsing youtube.com, I ran into a video which talked about planet Nibiru. Planet Nibiru is said to be a very big planet which enters our solar system every 3600 years. Religious people say that God talks about this planet and ancient people talk about extinctions which happened every 3600 thousand years. They say that Nibiru’s gravitational force will cause tsunami and major earth quakes destroying 90% of humanity. They also say that the government is covering this up to prevent world wide panic when this planet gets close to earth in 2012, the year some say the world will come to an end. Having never heard of such stories, I became really interested and scared about this planet. I did some further research and and looked at all the comments for each video and realized that the comments make sense to me. One of the things a person mentioned which I was also aware of was that the people talked about a similar thing before the year 2000. They said that the world will come to an end because somehow the computers are all going to either explode or take over humanity.
Another fact which disagrees with this story is that some so called educated people said that planet Nibiru will come close to earth in the year 2003. But something tells me that it didn’t happen. They also say that Nibiru will be visible by may 15, 2009 after entering our solar system. I did calculations and it takes a lot more time than 3 years to get close to earth. In addition to the calculations, it is November 7 of 2009, which mean it is 6 months past that date and nothing has been seen. Different videos and websites used accurate dates of Nibiru entering our solar system, causing harm to Earth, and leaving Earth. When it rains, the news says that there is this % chance of rain. If we are not sure about our weather conditions, then there is no way that even NASA knows the exact dates relating to Nibiru. However, the people that want to become famous and make money agree with the happening of this disaster. A great example would be the books people have written and the movies such as The day the Earth stood still or even 2012 which will be coming out very soon. They are all making money out of this story. Another comment which really helped me disagree with this idea was about the government. Many creators of these videos and stories say that the government is hiding this information to prevent worldwide panic, but if the U.S. government truly wanted to prevent worldwide panic, they would not let a single bit of information out at any cost.
I also contacted a scientist from NASA and he told me that NASA does not even prove the existent of such a planet. He said that this story is not scientifically proven by NASA even though the story tellers say so. I talked to many more scientists who are not related to NASA (a governmental agency) and they as well said the existence of such a planet and such a story is virtually impossible and not scientific.
There is a good side and bad side to every story. There are people who don’t care about the world and enjoy spreading rumors and causing panic attacks within people as they did before the year 2000 causing some people to commit suicide. Thankfully, the this world and the universe work on logics. You truly have to see if it is logical. When 2012 will come without anything happening, all the doomsayers are going to say is that “our calculations were wrong” again! All they are going to do is to enjoy the money we paid to watch their movies and buy their books. They have been saying such stories for a while now and as it seems, they are not going to stop anytime soon. Let science lead the way as it has lead us to a promising future. Be the greatest you can be and live your life in peace.
