When I was on vacation about two weeks ago, my family was watching the television and we landed on the History Channel. What was playing was this.

The destruction of Earth: December 21, 2012

The program's interviewees told us that this would be the day that the Earth would be destroyed. So many things have stopped on this date (Mayan calendar) and there have been prophecies about this date and how the world would be engulfed in chaos. Fires, tornados, tsunamis, earthquakes will destroy the Earth as we know it. It said that the Earth will rotate and Alaska will be at the Equator and that the Earth could be swept into a black hole. Signs of Alaska becoming warmer: GLOBAL WARMING. This and other signs are provided in the episode:

Common wisdom has it we prepare for our future by understanding our past. But did the ancient prophets already know the future? Are we living now in the world they predicted? In this enlightening and often unsettling series, THE HISTORY CHANNEL® revisits the prophecies and divinations of the Ancients and traces them to the modern events they may have been predicting.

But what if we have no future? What if life on Earth is destined to end in five years?

A surprising number of prophets - from ancient oracles to contemporary internet-crawling software "bots" - point to December 21, 2012 as the End of Days. Could the concentration on this date be merely coincidence, or is there something deeper behind it?

DOOMSDAY 2012: THE END OF DAYS undertakes a sweeping examination of these fateful forecasts. During this hour, consider the ancient Mayan Calendar, the medieval predictions of Merlin, the Book of Revelation and the Chinese oracle of the I Ching, all highlighting the same terminal date. Then learn of a new technology - a web-bot crawling the internet to predict the future - that has independently concluded there's no need to plan a New Year's 2013 Party.

Hear from skeptics who point to a long history of "Failed Doomsdays;" then reflect on the disturbingly accurate track-record of many oracles of doom throughout history. As the year 2012 ticks ever closer is there any reason to believe these doomsayers?

Will the Earth really end on the Winter Solstice of the year 2012? Opinions/Thoughts?

Yeah... No. Hell will probably freeze, twice over, before I start believing in prophecies.

That's kinda eerie. I mean, people made a big deal about Y2K, and nothing big happened there. I've been looking online for information (I had never heard of this until this thread), and I can't find anything simple enough for me to understand or care to read...

You know how you can tell that this is b.s.??? Look at that date: 12/21/2012. That's for people who are dumb enough to believe that 7 is always lucky, 13 is always unlucky, and 666 really means The Devil. Ooh... I'm shakin' in my boots.

If the date were just a tee-nie bit more random, I'd think about it twice.

I don't believe this either. No one can truly predict when and how the world will end. Its impossible.

Hey, I didn't come up with this, okay? It's just something I found that seemed interesting to me and thought that others might want to hear about it. Geez. It's not my fault that you don't believe this. It's just a theory with evidence that shows that something will happen to the Earth on December 21, 2012 (Mayan calendar for example). You don't need to say it to me.

I wasn't speaking directly to you.
But, it'll be... okay

Nope, I don't believe it. People have been saying the world is going to end "within the next five years" for centuries. I, personally, believe that we, as people, can't predict when the world will conclude. It could be anywhere from 10,000,000 to 123,125,353,235 years from now. Heck, it could be end in the next five minutes. It's just not something we can predict; it will happen when God feels it is right.

Oh, honey, if God was ever going to tear down this $h!th0le of a world, he/she/it/they would have done it already.

I'm telling you, it's the numbers that give this away. The proof is in the calculated order of the numbers.

We don't even get to make Christmas? Bummer.

At least I get my birthday that year, which will be on 12/12/12

In 3 more years my birthday will be on 10/10/10! Never really thought of it before...

Here's the thing. The Mayan calender is often taken out of context or exaggerated about what they say about 12/12/12.

The Mayans doesn't say it is the end, as in destruction. They word it in a way that translates more as, the world is going to end in the way we KNOW it. But a new beginning is after that.

Maybe that means humanity is going to be killed, to make way for new forms of life, as the world has done with dinosaurs and the ice age. But the fact remains, we don't know.

Do I think 12/12/12 will mark the end of the world? No more than all the other doom days. We have had so many and yet, here we are. If the world is meant to end, it will. Whether I live or die through it, I almost think I rather die...if the world is going to have a mass extinction, I rather die quickly than suffer and watch others suffer. New evidence has shown that many dinosaurs died some pretty horrific deaths from the ash in the air. I don't want to die like that

Anyone remember when the world was supposed to end about 7 years ago?

Or how about the time that people were afraid Halley's comet would destroy the Earth in 1910?

And of course, I'm still waiting for Southern California to fall out into the sea or break off and become and island.

I remember when they said it was going to end in 2000..I was only 9[or 10]

They scared me to death!

Thank god I know better now.

Anybody remeber when the world ended last year on June 6? wasn't that fun? Too bad we have to wait 5 years for it to happen again.

All these apocalyptic prophecies remind me of Buffy. Now I ask you, where is my daily dose of lesbian witches when I need 'em?

The world was also supposed to end about two weeks ago, with the exact date being July 7, 2007 (07/07/07). Well, I'm still here.

As I said before, this isn't something we, as people, can predict.
