In the Mayan calendar, a huge CYCLE will end and begin anew. BIG difference with what's a popular believe as they had multiple calendars, all co-operating like gears.

Well, if as you claim, 90% of all the other people in that time had the same calendars, then why does everyone not know about it and 'hype' the Mayan calendar? Unless it's because the Mayans were the inventors and shared it and continued to devcelop it to it's 'creepy' accuracy we can read about and see today.
 
It would be cool if we were like in the world from the Matrix right now, lol. But no way. People say "God said 12-12-12" But no he didn't. I am a Christian. And I believe in the rapture, not SOLAR FLARES FROM SPACE. It would be a cool sight to see though. People on fire, screaming.... XD

Oh and another fun fact, our calander's 6 years ahead of the Mayan's so the world ended in 2006. >.<

Where did you get that from? The Gregorian and the Mayan calendars are nothing alike, so comparing them in some way to calculate something makes the outcome completely inaccurate.
 
December 21st, 2012 is when the Long Count (the Mayan calendar) reaches its last b'ak'tun. This is no cause for alarm if ONE civilizations' calendar says the world is going to end then. The Mayan calendar also predicts events past the date of 2012. In their culture, this is how the Mayans thought the world would end: a figure named "First Father" would be challenged by the Devil, and play a game very similar to soccer, where you had to hit the ball through a small hole on a wall. Through trickery and deception, the Devil defeated First Father. First Father's 2 sons would then challenge the Devil to a game of this soccer-like sport, and they would defeat him, freeing first father. The Devil would then open a portal to the underworld (black hole, much?) in his last attempt to defeat First Father and his sons. The world was supposed to end over a hundred times, and it hasn't. Although it has seen an enormous deal of strife, it's still standing.

From a Religious point of view, Nostradamus predicted the world would also end on December 21st, 2012. So did Merlin, the prophet from the stories of King Arthur (he was real, but a much darker 'sorcerer' in actuality). Then there was Mother Shiptin, and this date even appears in Chinese culture. However, so did Y2K, 2007, WWII, and many other events. These things did not end the world.

From an astrological point of view, the Sun is supposed to be aligned with the middle of the universe, where a supposed black hole is supposed to be. Or, the earth's polar structure is supposed to change, causing North to be South, and South to be North. Then there's the Planet X theory, which I'm not even going to converse about because it's so completely illogical.

My personal view is we have about a 100% chance of happening. Because the world can end any second. December 21st, 2012 should be no different.

The bible? Ah that same book that states a man was eaten by a giant fish and survived for three days in its belly by praying... yeah that book >.> It's full of nonsense, a fictional book...

And in my opinion, the world ending in 2012, it's possible, but as much as possible as it'll end in 2010 or in 2011. It can end anytime (welll we most likely can see it coming when it ends, and not like in the next three seconds after I posted this but you get my point), so possible, but very unlikely. I don't believe in those foresights...

Here is a thought: The world as we know/perceive it ends, but we don't as we just have a shift in our consciousness. That's what the Mayans predict anyway and it's something more likely then a 1 second instant annihilation by who knows what.

BTW, I hate to be a Jehova, the world should have ceased existing like 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times according to their believes. XD "So, in what way shall we believe the earth ends this time?"
 
Well I saw the preview of it today, it does look cool, but they make up stuff on how the worlds ends lol... *driving through forest* OH SNAP A METEORITE! >.>'

You can tell the movie has nothing to do with what was predicted due to the ending of the preview where it says:
"Google: 2012"
=/
 
It's nothing to worry about. Just another "predicted end of the world" like we've gone through many times before. Please spare your pocket books and don't waste money on extra food and water supplies. It's ridiculous to believe in something so preposterous.

As if an animal species, a superstitious one at that, could predict the end of its own planet like that. Absurd.
 
No, If people would say anything if they thought it would sell books.
 
only idiots (Like some Belgian dude that has a cult like group of people training to survive whatever is being thrown at them in 2012)are going to go to such movies.

I love that guy. He claimed giant volcano eruptions and earthquakes and stuff already happened before, but because the Mayans knew this, they were prepared. Yet he's building a BUNKER somewhere in AFRICA. And according to him, it's the only way to survive...
Also, how do we still have animals and plants then? How come there are no traces of this anywhere in geology? If this happens every 10.000ish years (it happened when the Mayans lived and will happen again now), wouldn't we have a mass-extinction every 10.000 years? How did the other humans on this planet survive? Did they also know about this? How come we don't anymore then?

So yeah, that one claim was enough to diagnose him with 1st degree silliness. He also claimed that this was because of the polarity of the sun switching or something, yet nothing in astrology backs up his claim whatsoever.

I haven't been following this much, but I read an interview with that guy and it was pretty hilarious. I don't know whether he's still as braindead as then, but whatever, could care less. Actually, I do care a little, I want to see his face when he comes out of the bunker and sees that the world is still there. Should be priceless.
He did stop investing his money in banks because of this, which might've actually helped him out, oddly enough.

As for end of the world stories. All of them are silly, don't bother. The Earth could mysteriously end whenever, there's no point trying to prepare for it. Unless we have evidence of, say, a comet heading directly towards earth or something, there's no need to worry.
 
Well there is proof that there was an astriod that hit earth awhile back, demolishing alot of the population. I forgot where it was, but I remember seeing a picture of it in this documentery. My thought is if an astriod that big and powerfull hit before, a bigger one can, too.

And astrometors supposedly said the sun should be lined up deirectly with the sun on that date, but idk if it's coming from a reliable source.
 
The astroid killed everything that was larger then 1 or 2 meters. Mainly Dino's. This gave us mammals a chance to evolve further with all those lizards not hunting our evolutionary ancestors.
 
None of the predictions are true, look it up on nasa.gov. They say there is nothing significant in the universe in 2012. If the Mayan Calander ends in 2012, that doesn't mean its the end of the world. How could they predict the end of the world back then.
