Well anyone who is familiar with the book of revelations will know that if the world is going to end we'll know it. I don't entirely believe the Mayan prediction but I'm not entirely ruling it out, throughout time there have been MANY predictions for the end of this world, I think this might just be another shot in the dark as well, but who really knows?
The Official 12/21/12 Discussion Thread..
- Thread starter TofU
- Start date
Nostradamous also wrote something like this to happen on that same date with something to do with the anti-christ or whatever....
Nah. Well, I can't say that because that would be going against my religion, and as Spoon said eventually this thread is going to become a religious discussion. =/
Anywho, I haven't noticed too many people bring up the Chinese. If you haven't heard what they did, what they would do is flip 3 coins. Before you did this, you would ask a question. Then, flip the coins. For each heads you got, make a full straight line, and for each tails you got, make a broken line (half-line). You do this repeatedly until you have a combination of both broken lines and full lines adding up to a total of 6. Now, many of us playing Pokemon know that flipping a coin or rolling a dice is strictly luck-based. These coins only had 2 sides, therefore giving you a 50/50 chance at either heads or tails making this extremely inaccurate. Now, I didn't live back then but they could've just done this once and say, "So it is decided, the world will end in 2012." Now, that's strictly luck-based. They could've done that numerous times and have gotten either 3 tails, 3 heads, 2 tails & 1 head, and 2 heads & 1 tail. Pretty obvious.
So, at that I suppose you could say to a certain extent that you can count the Chinese out.

^^^ I don't believe.
Meh, apparently, the world will end when the Muslims, Jews, and Christians stop fighting over Jerusalem, and there is world peace, and everybody acknowledges God's existence (according to the Bible). If this happens, on 12/21/2012, then the world will end, and you can all mock me for not believing, then.
Really, they predicted being conquered by the Spanish? Cool...

Well, in the first place, the Mayans weren't conquered by Cortes. The Aztecs were, which came around 500ish years after the fall of the Maya. (Though the Mayans were the ancestors of many of the Aztecs.)
Anyway, I personally believe the world could end at anyway given time. Even before you finish reading this post. Due to religious reasons, however, I believe that the day will not be on 12/21/12.
Also, I bet many people have tried to predict the end. I bet a number of those dates are long passed, like Noobnerd's 6/6/06 date.

I am kind of in the middle of this, however I put my faith first in this situation.
There have been numerous apocalyptic theories over the years.
However, I can only remember three from my lifetime, being:
-Millennium (When everybody thought the computers wouldn't convert.)
-6/6/06 (Dear God, that was a mess. =/)
-Big Bang Theory (The whole black hole thing.)

Black Hole? Wouldn't we... NOT end? Nothing escapes a black hole, not even light, so wouldn't the world just be pitch black?
I remember being told about the January 1st, 2000 one.
Had NO clue about 6/6/06 until just today.
And I bet in 5 years from now we'll be saying the same about 12/21/12....
Then someone will create another date....like 6/24/2022....(The month, the date, and the year all add up to 6, thus creating 666.)

-facepalm-
Yanmega, I agree. However, has anybody ever thought this could just be a misinterpretation? I mean, c'mon.
What about December 21, 1912? Pssh.
However, NASA has confirmed, that something epic will happen. The poles will switch, in which I totally believe however I don't think it will be the end of human civilization. Plus, we are in a current sunspot cycle, which occurs every 11 years. Meaning, that 22 years ago something like this could've happened. =/
Anyways, the last time something like this was brought up was something in 1958, which I can't exactly remember what the hype was about in that year.

^^^ I seriously never got that whole -facepalm- thing... 
I'm still a n00b! XD
Something was predicted that something around Dec. 21, 2012 would happen... I know it involved a Meteorite... after that, I'm lost.
Geez, for anybody who's seen Achmed, that's like, what he says

QFT...
Anyways, this whole thread is about December 21, 2012. Look at the title.
However, we have advanced so far in technology that if it is involved with an asteroid or meteorite, NASA can truly do something about. If I remember correctly, that in 2004 there was some kind of apocalypse scandal because there was a meteorite heading straight towards Earth, and NASA fired at missile at it and it went bye-bye.
^^^ I know that. I was just pointing out that it was predicted that something LOGICAL would happen. Like a Meteorite, not some ancient Mayan Curse or anything.
QFT? I'm such a n00b...
QFT? I'm such a n00b...
^^^ Yep. That's pretty much it. Christ comes, fighting stops, world peace, end world. That's pretty much my perspective too.
Isn't the whole Mayan theory related to the Crystal Skulls? (like in Indiana Jones....)

On your 1912 comment, I was thinking about that myself. What's so siginificant about 2012? What about 2112? 2212?
I still think we'll get through alright, though, even if something happens.
On a side note, I am Baptist.
Sure, Mayans=smart(3000 YEARS AGO!)
Maybe after making a calendar that went 3000 years in to the future they just stopped.
Plus, Mayans didn't have the technology to know a meteorite was coming, nor they know technology to prevent it's coming would ever exist. Personally, I was more worried about the "Large Hadron Collider" creating a black hole or leading up to the distruction of the world.

However, if anybody has ever heard of the Webbot, it plays a big role in this also. =/
It searchs the web for information that gives hints to the future, composes them, and comes up with an end date.
And surprisingly, when it comes up with an end date, it leads right to 12/21/12. Freaky...

OMG, the date's 06/06/06, we're gunna die!
OMG, there's a giant experiment that can provide wonderful knowledge, but it could make a black hole, we're gunna die!
OMG, the Mayan's randomly predicted that the world will end, we're gunna die!
OMG, the Bible claims that a rapture will-
Or I could just say it's a load of trash. Even the bible could be made up, which in my view it is, but hey, nobody cares.
