SaintJimmy Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 You think we're going to be f*cked in 3 years? Think again. Then again I do believe there is even a 'cure' for that problem. Over time they can fix it. As for 2012 I hope to god it doesnt happen. I'm pretty sure it won't, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Tony Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 i really don't believe that December 21, 2012 will be the exact day the world will "come to an end" but i do believe changes might occur after what i was hearing. Look at what the world is going through now What's going on with the world now then? Nothing new that's for sure. Death, poverty, war etc have all been going on since the dawn of man.

iamanevilbastard Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) A few of you have quoted the Bible. OK, then, in the Bible, God has said "the apocalypse will come upon you and you will not know it is coming". So, He wouldn't want us to be able to figure out when the world was gonna end. Some have quoted Nostradamus. He said that there would be an apocalypse in 2000 or thereabouts. Well, we're in the year 2009. Also, something I read in a book one time, was that the number zero hadn't always been around in Europe-it had been brought to Europe by people from Asia, India or Arabia, I forget which. So what's that got to do with anything? Well, that means that we are 4 years behind in the calendar-the year 1996 was really Y2K. IAAEB Edit: "For the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle," says Sandra Noble, executive director of the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies, Inc. in Crystal River, Florida. To render December 21, 2012, as a doomsday or moment of cosmic shifting, she says, is "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in."

iamanevilbastard Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) OK, check this out: Another story predicting doom in 2012 says that a new planet, variously described as Planet X, a planet/comet (which makes no sense), or the planet "Nibiru" is going to pass so close to the Earth as to cause earthquakes and tidal waves and all kinds of destruction, possibly even flipping the Earth completely upside down. This is an urban legend that's been around for a long time, but for most of the story's history, this was supposed to happen in May of 2003, as any Internet search for "Planet X" will reveal. Apparently what happened is that the Planet X advocates, perhaps embarrassed or disappointed that 2003 passed without incident, heard about the much more popular Mayan calendar story, and decided that 2012 is close enough to 2003 that it must be the correct date and that the Planet X destruction is probably what the Mayans were foretelling. The Planet X legend got started by misinterpretations of astronomical observations combined with an ancient Sumerian carving that has been erroneously interpreted to depict a solar system with ten planets. Why the craftsmen who made carvings in ancient Sumeria should be presumed to have planetary knowledge superior to that of modern astronomy is not convincingly argued. If you're interested in all of the actual science behind the Planet X story, there's no better source than Phil Plait's "Bad Astronomy" blog, which goes into all the facts, rumors, and sources in detail. From this site: http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4093 ED: Still more from that site: Here's one more reason people are frightened about 2012. About 500 years ago, Copernicus confirmed what Hipparchus had observed in 2200 BC: that the axis of the Earth, which leans over at 23.5°, completes one full rotation every 25,765 years. This means that in 12,000 years, Christmas will come to Australia in winter and the northern hemisphere will depict Santa in Bermuda shorts. Astrologers call this period a Great Year, and they divide it into 12 Great Months or astrological "ages", each about 2,147 years long. Each age corresponds to one of the signs of the zodiac. We are currently in the Age of Pisces, and like the song says, we're soon going to enter the Age of Aquarius. According to modern official delineations of the edges of the constellations, we'll move into the new age in the year 2600. But there's some disagreement, and some astrologers place it at 2595, 2654, or 2638. A few put it much earlier, as soon as 2150 or even 2062. However, once the news of the Mayan calendar broke, a large segment of the astrological community abandoned the official constellation definitions and stated that the Age of Aquarius will begin in 2012. So, you can call this a third major reason why the world will end in 2012, but you have to be awful loose with your astrology, and you also have to think of some reason why the dawning of the Age of Aquarius might bring on the end of the world. I have not found any plausible claims for how it might have this effect. Many Protestant Christians believe that the end of the world will come in the form of what they call the Rapture, when the righteous will all be whisked away to heaven. Shakers believed the Rapture would come in 1792. Seventh Day Adventists first calculated it would happen in 1843, then when nothing happened, they found an error in their calculations and corrected it to 1844. The Jehovah's Witnesses made firm predictions for 1918, 1925, 1941, 1975, 1984, and 1994. A book was published in 1988 called 88 Reasons the Rapture is in 1988. A number of Bible scholars found firm scriptural evidence that the Rapture would happen in October of 2005. Thousands of Koreans gave away all their money and possessions in preparation for the Rapture on October 28, 1992. Even Sir Isaac Newton made a calculation based on scripture that showed the Rapture could not happen before 2060. Some Jewish scholars place the "end of days" via Armageddon in the year 2240. I couldn't find 2012 mentioned in any of these stories. In fact, James Randi's magnum opus publication An Encyclopedia of Claims, Frauds, and Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural lists 44 distinct end of the world predictions that all came and went unfulfilled. Why should we think that the 2012 legends are any different? Any examination of the science behind any of the stories, even a glib examination, reveals a complete absence of plausible foundation. Only the Planet X story, which is the most easily falsified as it depends on concrete astronomical observations that are demonstrably false, offers a proposed mechanism for exactly how this "end of the world" is to be accomplished, the alleged gravitational destruction. Neither the Mayan calendar people, nor the Age of Aquarius people, have offered any claims for how or why the world will end, only that their particular legend points to a rollover in some ancient calendar. My calendar rolls over every time the ball drops in New York, and I've yet to see this cause any planetary cataclysm, except for the guy who has to mop out the drunk tank at the NYPD.

Ice Cool Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I don't think that 2012 will end the world. In 1999, everybody was frightened by the next year, that was predicted that in 2000 the world will be destroyed by a Meteor. In 2005, a big Priest from Mexico(if I remember good)told to TV that a big cataclism will be imminent in France and Spain.No sh*t happened... In 2008, the nuclear centre from Geneve has frigtened all the world.They said that they don't know what happening if that machine will did wrong, they said that a black sh*t will eat all the Earth and Terra will never be see again.I don't think this homies, so live your life. In that night when they said that the next day will experience the machine, me and my friends played football. All told to do something which we like, how much time we have. We were a bit strange in our mind, we believed that in the next day we will die. Nostradamus predicted some things, but if he told that in 2012 something will happen, this mustn't believe it. I THINK THAT THE WORLD WILL OVER WHEN GOD WANTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QwertyAAA Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 So. If these predictions made by a bunch of old farts thousands of years ago turn out to be false, would that help disprove religion? Religion is basically the same thing, right? I think that it's all BS. Because, I sneeze every time I hear this and incidentally I am allergic to bullsh*t. Or maybe because I don't want it to be true. On the other hand... If you'll die, you won't know any of it. And if it's something else, then you'll probably take your own life. However, you're basically putting science up against a Mayan calendar. Oh, so when a thousand years - by the modern calendar - end, the world will f*cking explode?
