If you read about 2012, you'll see that it's really about a change rather than a physical end of the world. Think of it like a caterpillar morphing into a butterfly. As the change happens the caterpillar becomes dysfunctional, but something beautiful comes out of it. So, you'll see increasing dysfunction as we approach 2012, but something better will come out on the other side.<br><b>References : </b><br> Yes it is, but the world is not coming to an end.

Besides, just because the Mayan calendar ends in 2012 does not mean the world will end or even that the ancient Mayans thought it would end then. In a workshop I attended, an expert in Mayan culture (a descendant of Mayans herself) laughed at the idea. She said Mayans had a lot of beliefs centered around cycles and that 2012 was the end of one CYCLE, not the world, and the beginning of another.<br><b>References : </b><br> No. Natural disasters have happened throughout the history of the earth.

But of course, it's impossible to predict the future with complete certainty. That's one reason why I don't think the ancient Mayans could predict it with certainty, either. But if the world does end in 2102, though, please let us all know. In the meantime, I keep wondering - suppose it WILL end then: what does that mean to ME? And I can't think of a single thing. I mean I've toyed with the idea selling my condo, quitting my job, and stopping my monthly health insurance premiums in expectation of the End Times - but somehow, if the world is going to end in 2012, I can't see how doing any of that stuff will help me. I guess I could experiment with taking addictive drugs right now just to see what it's like -- since hey, I've only going to live 2 more years anyway. But if the end doesn't come in 2012 and here I've gotten myself addicted to crack or something -- haven't I loused up the rest of my life, which could be a long one? So I can't say any practical thing to DO ABOUT the world ending, if it's going to end. Can you? If you just want to scare everyone into converting to your religion, of course, it may make sense to raise questions about the entire planet being demolished in a few years. But besides being really, really scared and joining some church that will promise me that Jesus will save me from my fear, I can't imagine any way to respond to the "End Times," and so I don't think about them very much. I mean - what's the use?<br><b>References : </b><br> I don’t think so.

In the meantime, I keep wondering – suppose it WILL end then: what does that mean to ME?

And I can’t think of a single thing.

I guess I could experiment with taking addictive drugs right now just to see what it’s like — since hey, I’ve only going to live 2 more years anyway.

Can you?

The Mayans came up with a calendar that just so happens to end on Dec 21 2012. Every culture has its own ideas about the end of the world. I dont think the Mayan guy who was writing out the calendar went up to his chief and said " Here ya go mighty Chief-the calendar you was wanting. Now I know you're not crazy about the half naked tribal ladies on the cover but I added a little something at the end of it to scare the hell out of people hundreds and hundreds of years in the future. See? Right here? This is where I said the world will end with all manner of death and destruction. Pretty good huh?" Please tell me you didnt see the movie 2012.<br><b>References : </b><br> I knew someone would ask this ridiculous question sooner or later.

Just because the movie says 2010 it doesnt mean that the world will end in 2012 or what if it had said 2020 of something .. NO Way. Natural disasters are increasing this is the truth but they had happened even before the movie 2012 . So chill up.<br><b>References : </b><br> I dont think so.
