2012...The End?

I’m just wondering, does anyone actually believe that 2012 will be the end of the world? At least we won’t have to hear anymore complaining about ‘climate change’

No.

Nope. Thank “god” for Neil degrasse Tyson

There are lots more videos of Neil debunking other doomsday claims.

One of the best talkers in physics :slight_smile:

No, although it would mean the end of irritating internet debates.

Yes

With the federal reserve, anything is possible.

Also obama will be re-elected in 2012.

haha touche!

Crackpot religious cults misinterpreting the Mayan calendar aren’t my thing, personally. As others have said, the only thing that will happen is an end to gullible internet trolls hyping this nonsense and I personally think Obama will be voted out.

Sure extinct civilizations with 1/1,000,000th of our knowledge are always right

The end of the world, unlikely. The end of an epoch, I certainly hope so.

This reminds me a lot of the Y2K scare.

No. As someone else said, the end of an epoch. Although there are powerful religious cults that welcome and are striving for Armageddon. I’d rather believe the conspiracy theory that evangelicals in power, like Bush II, were trying to bring the end of days. I think it actually makes more sense that people like Bush II and his religious fellows are purposely trying to get into a nuclear war with Iran to end the mankind and, thus fulfill the Revelations, than believe that the Iran wants to nuke Israel because they hate Jews.

The Y2K scare was overblown. Only a few, really old computers were to be affected.

"Apolinario Chile Pixtun is tired of being bombarded with frantic questions about the Mayan calendar supposedly “running out” on Dec. 21, 2012. After all, it’s not the end of the world.

Or is it?

Definitely not, the Mayan Indian elder insists. “I came back from England last year and, man, they had me fed up with this stuff.”

…Chile Pixtun, a Guatemalan, says the doomsday theories spring from Western, not Mayan ideas."


or it’s New Age crap of “our knowledge”.

Well just to be clear, I don’t think it means the end of the world. We obviously have yet to reach communism so therefore human history must continue…DUUUHHH! [:P]

There will always be more irritating internet debates. Even the end of the world wouldn’t stop that.
