Thoughts on 12/21/12

What are your thoughts on the issue of the Mayan calendar and the 'deadline' of December 21, 2012? 

[tartarsauce2008]

Oh, no, the Mayans never had the chance to continue on with their calendar project a long, long time ago! It's totally the end of the world on December 21, 2012! So scared!

There has probably been 50-100 of these threads in the past year.

I don't believe it! Every year it's the same thing! Remember once it was the end of the world when 2000 hit! Hey, 11 years later we are still kicking! So I believe its a myth!!

The Bible tells you that it can not be predicted.  So believe what you want to but I am not buying it.

For some reason I thought that was pertaining to a date that had already passed.  And now you are saying it is December?  Well the last time it was supposed to be the end of the world all the kids in my son's 5th grade class were scared to death.  Of course no one knows.  It has been predicted over and over.  To be right you need to get up everyday and realize that any day could be the day.

My thoughts would be.....good grief....why don't these people get a life.  And if they are just looking at like numbers why wasn't it 12/12/12 instead of 12/21/12?  Their are too many vulnerable people in this world that really go off the deep end about this stuff.

Its just another day on the calendar to me. The world has just as much a chance ending tomorrow as it does on December 21, 2012.

The Fact: The Mayan Calendar does not predict the end of the world in 2012
 
First of all, the Mayans don’t have a calender they have calendars which often interlocked. The calender that has given rise to the myth of the end of the world is the Mayan long count calendar. According to Mayan Mythology, we are living in the fourth world or “creation” so to speak. The last creation ended on 12.19.19.17.19 of the long count calendar. That sequence will occur again on December 20, 2012. According to the Mayans this is a time of great celebration for having reached the end of a creation cycle. It does not mean the end of the world but the beginning of a new “age”. Does the world end every December 31st? No – we go on to a new year. This is the same as the Mayan creation periods. In fact, the Mayans make many references to dates that fall beyond 2012. The idea of 2012 being the end of the world was actually first suggested by New Age religionist José Argüelles in his 1987 book The Mayan Factor: Path Beyond Technology.

Why pay any attention at all to the Mayan calender is what I would like to know.   Who put them in charge?
