Answer 1

The calendar is a manufactured , not as natural one, and has been altered several times in our history, there is no value in predictions based on this artificial construct, it bears no relationship to anything in nature at all...if we were to choose any other calendar, like the muslim one, there would be no indication, or coincidence indicating any significance to any date at the present, or near future, or if we used a decimalised one, where the 10 month year, with months, that  were all thirty days long and always the same days each year, with five official holidays by agreement would you still find significance in that , ? people, people, people, surely you do not also still believe in cabbage patch kids, or Santa, ? There is no meaning to predictions at all, every one I ever heard of during my life, has been proved wrong..... Enough said ? !

Answer 2

just pick a random date and you too can prophesize our destruction.

Answer 3

The Mayans had an annual calendar, and one that ran on a 5000 year cycle.  It's the long-cycle one that's ending in 2012.  It's just ending, though.  The Mayans never predicted that the world would end, just that their calendar would turn over and begin again.  

It's like looking at the calendar on your wall and saying "Oh no!  There's nothing printed after December 31, 2008!  That must mean the world is going to end!"  People are taking their pet doomsday theories (galactic alignment, pole shifting, rogue planet collisions, etc) and tacking them onto the latest doomsday fad, just like they have done with the many previous ones, and will do with the following ones.  There is absolutely *no* scientific evidence supporting most of the theories (pole shifts are real, but since we're here now, life obviously survived them in the past).

Seriously, it's like they want the world to end, or something.
