What's up with all this c**p about the world ending in 2012?

Question

It says in the bible that only God knows when the world will end. Not even Jesus knows. So why is everyone thinking it WILL end?

Answer 1

It won't. Remember when the millennium was approaching? Everyone thought the world was going to end. It won't, but that doesn't mean that something bad might happen again. Tensions are high in the world and the next Great War is on its way.  

Answer 2

Because it is human nature to wonder about things.  When an ancient, pre-Christian civilization has a calendar that ends in our year 2012, obviously some people are going to jump to the conclusion that these people knew something that has been lost in the mists of time.  Not 'everyone' thinks the world will end in 2012, in fact only a very few do and these are not Christians.  

Answer 3

I can think of atleast 20 times in recent memory when one group or another said the world will surely end on ....... and the sun rises the next day and life goes on as usual, one would think after so many false predictions people would stop trying to predict the end of the world or life as we know it, Yes the bible says that God is the only one who knows when the world will end. but there are those who would argue there is no God, in any event the facts remain the same there is no one on this earth that knows when the world will end. so it seems the logical thing to do is stop making random perdictions about an event that may happen tomarow or a million years from now the fact is no human knows.

Answer 4

what the bible says is bullshit the world will also not end in 2012 and if it does it will be world war three that ends most of it.

Too many chicken littles on this planet!

Because the Ancient Mayans had very precise calender that ends on December 21, 2012. But you're right, only God knows when The End will be.

It's ending in September (or whenever, it was supposed to be May 08) when CERN flips on their Large Hadron Collider.
