the end of the world 2012 wiki
Which number is greater: [A] people believing the world will end in or before 2012, [B] atheists?
By atheist I mean a 6-7 on the Dawkins scale:

B. I haven't met anyone who believed the 2012 end of the world scenario yet.
One of several Mayan calendars is the Long Count calendar, which is reset to day 0 every 1,872,000 days or about 5125 years. The next reset date, by some calculations, is December 21, 2012. This is not a prediction of the end of the world. Here is what a Mayan elder says on the subject: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/6300744/2012-is-not-the-end-of-the-world-Mayan-elder-insists.html
These predictions are scare tactics, conspiracy theories, and chances to make money from books and movies.
Ever since the Y2K and 6/6/6 (June 6, 2006) End of the World scenarios did not pan out, the scare mongers, conspiracy theorists, book sellers, and television executives have been touting the 2012 End of the World scenario. When 2012 does not happen either, I am sure they will think of something else.
Here is also what NASA thinks about the 2012 End of the World scenario: http://pwg.gsfc.nasa.gov/stargaze/StarFAQ18.htm#q306

"But of that day or hour, no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come." (Mark 13:32-33)
Jesus told us in no uncertain terms that we were not to know when the end of the world would come but that we were always to be ready.
The early Christian Church thought that Jesus was going to return at any moment. Only after a couple of centuries did the Church realize that it may be 2,000 or 4,000 or 8,000 years before Jesus returns.
The Catholic Church wisely follows Jesus' advice and teaches that each of us should live as if we will meet our maker in the next ten minutes and that we need to work to make the world a better place for our 100 X great-grandchildren.
Do not worry about the end of the world. Trust God to make sure everything happens to plan. Just be ready to meet God at any time.

With love in Christ.

Atheism And The End Of The World
End of World Theories: Will the World Really End on December 21, 2012?
Heard talk going around that people are getting prepared because the world is going to end in 2012.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Doomsday_Prediction
It's pretty stupid. Archaeologists discovered a Mayan calendar that ended on December 21, 2012, and that's where this talk began.
The thing is, the Mayan calendar is perfectly capable of going past that; that's just where they felt it was safe to stop. Saying the world's going to end on December 21, 2012 is like me saying that the world's going to end on December 31, 2010, because that's as far as my wall calendar goes.
The article says nothing about hoping Obama wins in 2012.
