Do you think Dec. 21, 2012 will actually be the end of our civilization? How do you feel about it if it is?

Question

The question is percise, it says end of OUR civilization (meaning humans upon Earth presently). There has always been devestation and then it begins again, in every civilization before us so I know this will eventually happen. End of this civilization does not mean planet, that would be so ultimately shortsighted to think that it isn't even worth going much further into. Many, if not all other things Mayan calendar predicted have come true, why not this particular scientific/prophetic statement?

Answer 1

awwwww what?!! you're joking me? i didn't know

that's just before the parties & beer at winter solstice!

not fair

not true either

Answer 2

I believe God decides when the world will end.

Answer 3

Be more worried about the economic situation that the usa is in then 2012. No..no end for civ. just maybe a lot of poor people in America.

Answer 4

Most people completely dismiss the whole 2012 thing because they connect it to a Mayan myth.The truth of the matter is that there is a natural occurrence that is going to happen around that time.It is said that the galaxy will align and this will cause many natural events on our planet such as tsunami's,earthquakes and so on.

So if people can look past the whole ancient prophecy thing and look at the facts then they will see that the earth will undergo a change around the winter solstice of 2012,and that change may cause the downfall of our civilization.

Answer 5

Nah, if anything, at the rate we're s******g up the enviroment, it'll be sooner. In all honestly though, I don't believe humans will see the end of the world. I mean, it's more than likely we could die out with the next big climate shift. Heck, the minute this earth quake they say will split California off the US by the San Andreas, we'll probably go into an ice age (change off ocean currents/global temperature and all that) and everyone seems too cheap or nonchalant about it happening to do much about it. Plus no one seems to be getting very far with the research on colonizing another planet. If it does end then though and we're still alive.... I'd probably laugh. People talk so much about those in the past as being stupid or barbaric, it'd be pretty funny if they were right about this. I just hope we could get a last meal. mmm.... strawberries... ^^

Answer 6

no it's silly.  No one know when this world will end.

Answer 7

no this is not truth

before some years ago some stupids said the same and went at the caves waiting the end... but nothink...really happens

anyway whats the big deal if we die after 3.,13, or 53 years?

we must be ready each day for death

Answer 8

I hope to see that date and do not have any thoughts about those silly ideas. If you want to see 2012 in good health and with your parents, children and other loved ones then start demanding that your government act on your behalf and not for business that only has profit in hand.

Answer 9

There are so many things leading to 2012, I know for a fact the mayans were never wrong, it is a chilling thing, but I think all of the others 2012 things just reflect off the mayans, I would be scared, but I would want to know more of why the mayans choose that day. To bad they were tricked then killed

Answer 10

It is the end of the Mayan calendar and many have read into this event all sorts of predictions. Most of these so called predictions are speculative and are based on subjective

analysis by authors hoping to sell books on the subject.

If it does end on that day I shall be pleasantly surprised.

Answer 11

No, it won't end....here's what i found on Wikipedia a while back when someone badgered me with this question....

January 31 — 433 Eros, the second-largest Near Earth Object on record (size 13x13x33 km) is expected to pass Earth at 0.1790 astronomical units (~26.8 million kilometers; ~16.6 million miles)

February 5 — Super Bowl XLVI will be played.

Woohoo, nacho's and hotdogs.

December 21 — Winter Solstice at 11:11 UTC.[

The Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, notably used by the Maya civilization among others of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, completes its thirteenth b'ak'tun cycle since the calendar's mythical starting point (equivalent to 3114 BC August 11 in the proleptic Gregorian calendar, according to the "GMT-correlation" JDN= 584283).[8] The Long Count b'ak'tun date of this starting point (13.0.0.0.0) is repeated, for the first time in a span of approximately 5,125 solar years. The significance of this period-ending to the pre-Columbian Maya themselves is unclear, and there is an incomplete inscription (Tortuguero Monument 6) that records this date. It is also to be found carved on the walls of the Temple of Inscriptions in Palenque, where it functions as a base date from which other dates are computed.[9] However, it is conjectured that this may represent in the Maya belief system a transition from the current Creation world into the next.

Answer 12

When you say civilization, do you mean all of mankind or just here in the U.S. If you mean mankind. Don't worry, we will be here until the death of the planet. By that time we will have left to other planets. Trust me. So go ahead and make your long term plans.

Answer 13

If it is, it's fate.

I read Daniel Pinchbeck's book 2012. Sure it's a conspiracy, but the Mayan calendar, crop circles, sacred geometry, and astronomy have bone-chilling coincidences.

Answer 14

are we really sure if it'll be a bad thing? Not to be anti human or whatever, but we've done more damage than anything really. Still though, whats the harm if it doesn't come true?
