2012 will not be the end of the world
The World Will Not End in 2012?
Have many people actually believe that the world will end in 2012?
If you are well-read, then you will agree that end of days predictions have been made since the beginning of time. What is your view?
Why are people so gullible?
The 2012 doomsday prophecy is a hoax, and there is plenty of scientific evidence that the world will *not* end in 2012.
First of all, the Maya didn't predict the end of the world. Their calendar simply reaches the end of a cycle, and they had specific names for much longer periods of time, up to 62 million years. If they thought the world was going to end after a cycle of less than 6000 years, why would they bother?
As for Biblical prophecy, the Bible makes no date-specific predictions at all. A previous answerer apparently believes in a "Bible Code" but also states that while this code can be shown to have predicted events that have already happened, it can't be used to predict *future* events. In other words, these "prophecies" aren't predictions at all, they're just coincidences discovered after the fact. The same is true of any of the other so-called "ancient prophecies."
On the science side, Earth is not going to get hit by a giant planet (if it were, we would have seen it by now, and its gravity would be affecting the orbits of everything else in the solar system). The sun will not line up with the center of the Milky Way (it can't; the center of the galaxy is in the wrong part of the sky). The planets are not going to align (it's physically impossible; and even if they could, their combined gravity wouldn't be enough to disrupt anything on earth). The earth's poles will not abruptly reverse (the geographic poles can't; the magnetic poles can, but it takes thousands of years). The sun will not flare up and poison the earth (it goes through regular 11-year cycles of solar flare activity, and 2012 is just another peak). Destructive earthquakes happen all the time, and they can't be predicted for a specific date (or even a specific year).
Why are people so gullible? Mainly the lack of a basic understanding of science. People hear the rumors about 2012 or other "predictions" but don't fully understand them, which leads to fear, which leads to a search for easy answers. A scientific explanation is not an easy answer when compared to "The Bible says so" or some buzzwords taken from popular fiction.

2012: Not The End Of The World (Severn Suzuki/Laurent Wolf) Teaser
Why do People Think the World will End in 2012?
I honestly think that the world won't end in 2012, and I hope I'm right. Just please give me your answer if it's positive or not. There are many things that I hope to do in life and destroying the world wasn't one of them!
To begin with, it's ALL HOAX!

Hope you read them all!
Don't be fooled. Better stay informed with the right information from CREDIBLE SOURCES.
Feel free to share this information to anyone whom you think is concerned with this hoax.
Clear skies and have a nice day!:-)
