end of the world 2012 planet
Will the world really end in December of 2012 due to the planet-wide dimensional shift?
Has anyone heard of the theory that, because the ancient Mayan calendar ends in the year 2012, that life as we know it will end? I've heard a few theories, including one about galactic bodies aligning, and that the the end of the world was calculated to be on December 21-23 (the Winter Solstice) in the year 2012. I heard there will be an evolutionary leap, a major change in consciousness, it would be a Golden Age, and life as we know it will never be the same. I need a valid scientific or philosophic answer. Anyone heard of this?
The valid scientific answer is that nothing in your question is scientific. "...Galactic bodies aligning, and that the the end of the world was calculated to be on December 21-23 (the Winter Solstice) in the year 2012. I heard there will be an evolutionary leap..." doesn't make any sense.
The valid philosophical answer is that nothing in your question is specific enough to discuss. "...a major change in consciousness, it would be a Golden Age, and life as we know it will never be the same..." in what way?
Anything you've heard about 2012 is crap. That's valid.

2012 galactic alignment and Alien UFO Planet X Nibiru Doomsday Prophecy!!!!!
How come most people believe the world will not end in 2012?
I came across many websites and many of them say the world will not end in 2012, even though the 2012 doomsday scenario is popular today. But there's no evidence of the world ending in 3 years I was told: no real galactic alignment (that's only seen from earth), we won't cross the galactic equator on dec. 21, 2012, no planet x, Solar Maximum is now predicted for 2013. I also was told a possibility that the Long Count Calendar's 2012 is off from the Gregorian 2012 by 75 years.
I know many people believe in the 2012 scenario, but more people don't believe in it than those who do
I also read the Mayan calendar itself does not end, just the Long Count cycle, just like 1999 going into 2000 (the 2nd millennium actually ended in 2000 and rolled over into the 3rd millennium in 2001) and the 2000s decade will end this year and roll into the 2010s next year.
But is it true the calendar itself ends or just the cycle?
I have seen just too many doomsdays going by without the end of the world. 
The Mayan calendar will, according to all real scientists (and not by people who just claim to be experts) not end that year. If a cycle ends, or if that does not happen, is not known. A cycle could end there, some scientists believe that, and have reasons to do so, despite it being the first time in history with even the Maya likely never having seen such an event. When the calendar started, the Egyptians just got bored of building pyramids.
But most scientists expect the the six digit of the mayan calendar to go from 0 to 19 and thus there would be not even a cycle ending in 2012.
Still, it would require some serious effort to bridge the logical gap between "cycle ends" and "the end of the world". In all doomsday theories, you will notice one important logical stage:
At one point or more, you will notice how between the lines "Something magical happens here" is said. Just to quote shamelessly from a movie, which shows great how such nonsense gets brewed from ignorance and logical fallacies:
Sir Bedevere: There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
Peasant 1: Are there? Oh well, tell us.
Sir Bedevere: Tell me. What do you do with witches?
Peasant 1: Burn them.
Sir Bedevere: And what do you burn, apart from witches?
Peasant 1: More witches.
Peasant 2: Wood.
Sir Bedevere: Good. Now, why do witches burn?
Peasant 3: ...because they're made of... wood?
Sir Bedevere: Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?
Peasant 1: Build a bridge out of her.
Sir Bedevere: But can you not also build bridges out of stone?
Peasant 1: Oh yeah.
Sir Bedevere: Does wood sink in water?
Peasant 1: No, no, it floats!... It floats! Throw her into the pond!
Sir Bedevere: No, no. What else floats in water?
Peasant 1: Bread.
Peasant 2: Apples.
Peasant 3: Very small rocks.
Peasant 1: Cider.
Peasant 2: Gravy.
Peasant 3: Cherries.
Peasant 1: Mud.
Peasant 2: Churches.
Peasant 3: Lead! Lead!
King Arthur: A Duck.
Sir Bedevere: ...Exactly. So, logically...
Peasant 1: If she weighed the same as a duck... she's made of wood.
Sir Bedevere: And therefore...
Peasant 2: ...A witch!
Just because the logic around the 2012 doomsday is not as funny, it is not more true. It has the same fallacies and wrong assumptions inside them, which could already be solved by just taking a look outside at night.
This baffles me too. I thought this absurdity was spawned from the movie 2012. You mention that people say it's in the Bible, but I'd like to know exactly where that is. I don't ever recall reading a verse about the world coming to an end in 2012 in the Bible, and, frankly, I don't believe that at all. No one knows when that day will come and there's nothing in history to decipher such knowledge. Only God knows.
