The world will end in 2012, say experts.

The world will end in 2012, say experts.
These are the reasons:
- Mayan calendar
- Sun storms
- The atom smasher
- The Bible says it
- Super volcano
- The physicists
- Earth’s magnetic field

How far is it true or is it a rumor?

Got some scripture to back that up?

According to the Bible, nobody knows the day and or the hour:





and as Paul's says, we don't need to worry about it if we are with Him:



So, for me it is just another hoax rumor

You will know the season. I will not say a date, but:

Israel cannot be destroyed if you believe the Bible is true.
Iran is about to launch nukes at Israel(the current president does not want to do anything without world approval, and the world is too sissy to stand for anything, thus I deduce Iran will attack Israel).
The culmination of this will be war, where the north will attack Israel(russia will join with iran).
The trump will sound, if you believe in dispensationalism.
The anti-christ will create a peace treaty in the middle east.
The temple will be rebuilt.
The anti-christ will enter the temple and claim to be God.
The vials start pouring out, speakers arive, etc etc.
After 7 years, Christ will return, destroying all on the world.
Great White throne judgement.
Hell/Satan/Sinners cast into lake of fire.
Judgement seat of Christ.
For 1000 years the world will be ruled (if you believe in the millenial kingdom).
New heaven/earth created.

iirc.. haven't studied it lately.

You can believe the Bible is the truth without thinking that Revelation is a literal description of the end of days.

On the 2012 thing, it seems to me to be yet another doomsday prediction in a sea of doomsday predictions. Hardly a new thang. I can't even remember how many times I've seen Nostrudomaus updated to reflect current day leaders/bad guys.

The world has already ended at least 5 times since I've been alive. At least those are all the times I was aware of. Personally I think it will die when Unix time ends. January 19, 2038 03:14:07 GMT. On January 19, 2038 03:14:08 GMT all computers that still use 32 bit Unix Time will overflow.

Well, I don't have any clue what'll happen...if anything at all. I have seen the scientific research done on the earths magnetic fields, and according to the study (if I could find it I would link, but I'm too lazy) the earths polarity will shift. This coincides with the Mayan's beliefs and calendar date of "the end of the world." I put that in quotes because it was not considered to them a "end" but in fact a "rebirth". I could write a huge article on it but essentially, the earth already has spots below the north pole that are of northern polarity, because of sun storms, these spots are growing at an exponential rate. When the polarity shifts, there's a good chance that earthquakes will ensue due to the sudden difference in the gravitational pull on the iron within the soil. This will cause volcanoes to erupt. Also, the polarity shift will cause a major EMP that will shut down all electronics. The earthquakes will cause tsunamis which can reach up to the tallest skyscrapers...blah blah blah. I'm not even going to get into Nostradamus, but basically all of the science and research backs the enormous amounts of prophecy. Personally I don't have a stance on it. may or may not happen, who cares. I mean really, what are we gonna do about it if the world ends?

Worst case scenario, all plan a trip to China in 2012 and look for HUGE Arks.

All this 2012 dooms day crap is just the latest fad and it will soon go out of style. Just think of all the dooms days that have already come and gone, and we're still here. We human being will be our own undoing, I think that there won't be one specific "day of doom" but rather a slow painful end of civilization either through disease or famine or war.

I obviously don't believe any of the end-of-the-world crap, but I have nothing better to do right now so here's some refutations to your points.


No, they don't.


The Mayans never claim 2012 to be the end of the world. The year marks the end of a very long specific cycle in the Mayan calendar, much like December 31 marks the end of a cycle we call a "year" in our calendar.

Sun storms are actually quite common. A large one, regardless of when it occurs, would only temporarily knock out satellite communications, not power grids. You'll still be able to make your Hot Pockets, you just might not be able to use your cell phone to tweet about it.


...can create a black hole. ZOMG! The problem is, it would be so microscopic that any black hole created would instantaneously evaporate. Pretty lame. The other cool thing is that it's theoretically possible for the creation of the Higgs Boson to be so counteractive to the laws of the universe that it actually goes back in time and prevents the LHC from ever creating it in the first place. Some have theorized that this is why the LCH has experienced so many problems. Theoretical physics rocks!


No, it doesn't.


This is actually possible, but highly unlikely. Some of the biggest, most destructive volcanoes aren't expected to go off for quite some time yet. But hell, if one does, we'll have a new ice age, and who doesn't like sledding?


I doubt physicists are concerned with destroying the world. But if they were, this is how they'd probably do it.


Earth's magnetic field has, and will continue to, reverse it's polarity. But it hasn't hurt our ancestors, and it's probably not going to hurt us.

My favorites are the ones convinced it's going to happen, so they gather a bunch of supplies and go live in the woods, like the end of the world isn't going to happen there like it does everywhere else.

I remember hearing once that only the Joebert Witnesses make it. What was it about 144 thousand of them? *knock *knock

Yeah 144,000 is the buildings legal capacity. Any more than that and the fire marshal will close us down.

.....I live in the woods and have a pantry full of canned and dehydrated food and bottled water and plenty of ammunition for my couple of guns.....

But those survivalist whacks are idiots. Mine is because at any given moment (like right about NOW, its snowing like a son of a you know what) a huge snow storm could come and me and my wife might be stuck in here for a while and not be able to get to the grocery store. Being prepared for emergency situations is one thing, but being paranoid and stupid is another. And the ammo for my rifles is just because it is cheaper in the long run to buy in bulk.

About the time the 911 attacks happened there was a guy who lived in my neighborhood that was convinced the world was going to end so he collected a bunch of guns and cash for supplies then moved out into a bunker up north somewhere.

It took him awhile to collect the stuff he wanted though, the neighborhood kids he was selling pot to kept breaking into his home and stealing his stuff because he liked to show it off.
