Question

Who thinks the end of the world is around 2012??

Answer 1

people sometimes believe the darnest things.

i don't know why.

2012 has got to be in the running for the STUPIDEST hoax of all time, though.

Take your bow.

People no longer even ask "What do you think of the Galactic Alignment with the Ark of the Covenant?" anymore.   Each point is easiely debunked, so people LIKE YOU just throw out a softball "Who thinks 2012 is world end?"

Good job, troll.

(watch out for those billy-goats!)

Answer 2

Did the History Channel air that stupid pseudo-documentary again?

That network, and the Discovery Channel and Fox, will air anything they feel will get a bigger audience. Sometimes, their shows are good and worth watching. Other times, they are foolish, sensationalist, tabloid-style hype. It is often difficult to tell which is which, unless you know about a subject. I know about the history of doomsday predictions, pseudoscience, and astronomy.

The Mayan calendar does not predict the end of the world. They did keep an accurate calendar, but contrary to popular opinion, never predicted any world event accurately. They couldn't predict their own demise; why should they be able to predict ours?

The alignment with the galactic center is not going to happen. It comes fairly close to happening EVERY year on Dec 21, and will be exactly the same as it always is, in 2012. Even if some perfect alignment did occur, there is nothing about it that could affect the earth. It's like saying, "When these three parking spaces are occupied by three red cars, the world will come to an end."

Doomsday prophets have always been around and they are always wrong. Every 5 to 10 years, some prediction catches the public's attention and scares a lot of kids...usually thanks to irresponsible media decisions. Dozens of different doomsday scenarios have been piggy-backed on to this date since the show aired. Go to this site to see how many predicted apocalypses we have already missed.

All that Nibiru stuff is bunk, too. No such planet has ever been discovered. The claim that it was discovered some 25 years ago is not true.

Answer 3

There are many people who believe that the world will end in 2012.

There are many people who believe that the Earth is flat.  There are many people (and sometimes they are the same ones) who believe that Earth is hollow and we live on the inside.

There were people who believed that all our computers would explode on December 31, 1999.  Some of them are probably still hidden in caves, with whatever is left of their canned food and their abacus (just look it up -- it's a joke with the computer thing).

There were people who believed that the world would end in AD800 because that year corresponded to the Earth being 6000 years old according to the Anno Mundi calendar (based on the Bible).

There were people who believe that we would all be poisoned when Earth went through the tail of comet Haley in 1910.  You should have seen the money made on the sale of gas masks that year.

and so on, ad nauseam.
