I think it's BS, how would they know when the world would end?

I'm guessing some drunk Mayan guy wrote a random number on a wall, maybe they just wanted to stop there, they can't just keep going with it.

Highly biased here Shogun happy.gif

IF you think this is BS, you could say most of Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Bhudhist Beliefs are BS. People criticize religion or beliefs that they don't believe in too much

Do any of the religions you mentioned state when the world would end? No, I don't think they do, well Islam doesn't. If this is actually part of the Mayan religion and I am mistaken, than I take back what I said.

But they have beliefs as bizzare as the ending of the world to some people (which makes them Atheists)

Well what i heard on the History Channel is that they could predict solar events hundreds of years before they happen and like i said in my last post the earth is supposed to line up with something can't remember what though.

Astronomy of course!

As Ugabug pointed out, on the 21/12/2012 or the 21st of december 2012, there would be a certain Astronomical event involving the sun and the earth, for some reason they consider this to be the end of the world.


--------------------
Can you feel a rumbling
Its building up like Thunder inside you
Feel the Earth is Quaking
The air itself is shaking around you
Shadows on the moon
Someone's comming very soon you will meet him
The Midnight rider comes for you
Now is the Time
You know its Right
it is your destiny
And there will be no more turning back
so take your place in history...

The theory also states that this is like the seventh time the world has been destroyed (which might be true, but very very unlikely)

I think we do know when our world is going to end... when the sun dies out of age (which is like a couple hundred million years from now I believe), we will die of no heat and stuff. and if that doesn't take humankind off Earth, that is probably the supernova the sun will create as it blows up. The power is astoundingly powerful, by the time it reaches the earth, it's probably the equivalent of a couple billion atomic bombs in the US.. than again, we are talking about a couple hundred millions of years from now..

Wow talk about getting a tan. Seriously though by that time one of two thing will have happened.

1. We will have space colonise and probability won't have to worry about that.
Or
2. We would already be extinct but that is just my opinion though.
