The Mayan calendar ends on that date. Some people say that this prophesizes the end of the world. Others say it’s just as far as the calendar went, probably because they didn’t think their civilization would last that long (which it didn’t).
I think it’s also the last day of autumn for 2012.

According to a documentary I saw, the earth will pass through the galactic plane. What I mean is that scientists believe our galaxy is disc shaped if you put it on a piece of paper. If you look at a disk on the ground, there is very little height. When you look at the height, there isn’t much compared to the width and length, but the earth is said to cross the middle of that height, like crossing the equator. Some scientists predict that because most of our galaxy is in a disc shape that earth may cross into the orbits of comets or asteroids when it enters the galactic plane. A pole shift could occur which COULD, but may not, cause a pole shift which would drastically change the climate worldwide.
(These are all hypothetical theories; I personally don’t think anything major will happen in 2012).
About the Mayan Calendar, it will reset in 2012 during the Winter Solstice (December 21). I think it will reset just like a normal calendar; like ours every year after December 31 to January 1 of the next year.
Long story short, I don’t believe anything catastrophic will happen in 2012. Anything can happen in any given year; it just so happens that the Mayan Calendar is to reset like ours during the Winter Solstice.
Armageddon!! Run for you lives!!
It is going to rain.
Were all going to die and im going to laugh!!! It’ll be so fun!!!
The people making up the wild and crazy claims about “doomsday” in 2012 are grifters and liars. Some want your money (BUY MY BOOK!) and some just want notoriety. The claims themselves are nonsense. It is INSULTING to anyone with even a High School education in science that these people are allowed to espouse and print such ridiculous lies.
If I claimed that tomorrow the Sun would turn pink and bunnies would take over the world, you might suggest that I seek psychological help, yet when someone like Patrick Geryl says that “streams of positive ions will push the South Pole over making the Earth flip” like a pancake… or a crepe (he IS Belgian), you hardly EVER hear anyone say “Is he forgetting to take his meds?” It is just silly!
So often in Y!A we hear people say “scientists say…” or “look at the evidence that civilizations collapse every 3600 years” when NOT ONE of these people have ever even taken a science class. That much is obvious. Please disregard any such statements and only treat claims with some citations as at all likely. For example there is a nice NASA site in astrobiology which debunks nearly ALL the 2012 claims very neatly… and don’t forget Penn & Teller! They show, with a healthy dollop of humor, just how laughable all the hoaxers are…. I LOVED the guy with the styrofoam balls on the strings!
Don’t worry about 2012. Worry about your kids growing up to be sociopaths or not growing up at all simply because you forget to buckle them in your car. Worry about the government selling mining rights to big oil companies that want to drill for Natural Gas within a mile of old atomic bomb tests. (If you live in Colorado… switch to electric stoves)
There is plenty of real things to scare you in this world, you don’t have to make anything scary up.

I do not know about everyone else but I am planning on wrapping Christmas presents.
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.
“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.
