I watched part of "The last book of Nostra Damus" last night, and it confirms that the Apocalypse will happen in 2012. Along with the Mayan Calender ending in 2012, Nostra Damus fortells of the antichrist coming in one form or another and disastrous events leading to and ultimately culminating in the end of days around 2012. Does anyone believe this or have any thoughts? Discuss.

In that new Will Smith movie I Am Legend he's the last man on earth in 2012. Fwiw, which is NOTHING.

im gonna go out on a limb and say the world doesn't end in 2012.

i'll be 30, so ya, it does. f off.

I don't believe in anything.

It also seems that the loss of faith is one of the main reasons God has given for drawing this charade to a close.

Ironic, huh?

End of ze world!!!

This stupid crap he predicts happens every couple of years and guess what every time he's wrong. This crap is so stupid.

I thought Nostradomus predicted the end of the world on September 23rd, ?2000. That didn't seem to pan out.

2012 has long been known as either the year of apocalypse or human awakening. I believe it all started because the Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012.

There are all sorts of predictions and literature about it but in general it all seems to be rubbish. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012#Me...al_predictions

The only prediction that has any real basis in science is a very, very, very small chance that the Earth's magnetic field will reverse (this is inevitable as the field weakens over time), but even that is considered to not have disastrous effects.

I'm interested to see what believers will say after we're all rushing to buy last-minute xmas gifts on the 22nd.

It is amazing how someone can predict the future so accurately when they are reinterpreted once the future becomes the past.

Honestly, you have to be pretty [censored] stupid to believe in these predictions and omens. Let's see, the Mayan calendar only went to 2012, well about a billion computer program's dates only went to 2000. And the calendar on my wall only goes to Dec. 31 2007.... ON NOESSSS!

In 2012, war was beginning.

... no. Let's try again:

2012: UIGEA passed.

... nope

Yes, and enjoy your last 5 years on earth all!

The mayans are now extinct... therefore, how smart were they really if they can't even survive...gg predict european invasion gg

WHY DIDN'T YOU ALERT ANYONE OF THIS SOONER #(*@%&%(#

the myan calender doesnt end it 2012

iirc, December 21st 2012 is the end of a cycle in the long count Mayan calendar which doesn't directly translate into an apocalypse but more of a transition or major change in the world. The Mayans were amazing at predicting celestial events centuries or millenia in advance but is still not something to get worked up about.

I haven't even thought about this, but so will I.

all you naysayers shall be the first to fall

Guys,

I just booked the Voodoo Lounge for the night of Dec 20, 2012. I've hired Christopher Cross to play. Who wants in?

yeah it's about a 4 century cycle. so assuming the world didn't end in 1604 or whenever the last one was, i think we are relatively ok

The great thing about being a nay sayer is, if we are wrong, who will be around to call us on it?

Dick Clark. That guy is never gonna [censored] die.

I've been living my life like it's going to, so I'll be pretty pissed if it doesn't.

Nostradamus is hooey. If ze wurl is ending in 2012 or 2008 it doesn't matter anyway. Keep on truckin.

* There have been 4 major catastrophes -- so far! -- in human history. If you add up the digits in 2012, you get 5. MIND BLOWING.

* The Mayans did predict the coming of the Europeans! Kukulcan was a symbolic representation of Cortez, they just misinterpreted the vision! BEWARE!

* McKenna's elves told him that 2012 would be the last year as well. THE EVIDENCE CONTINUES TO MOUNT.

* The Mayans are nowhere near extinct yet, they just don't look like the Mayans of the 1500s or live in step pyramids. But they will be extinct in 2012! DUM DUM DUMMMMMMM.

The ONLY possible hole in this theory is that the UNIX clock will not explode and cause suffering until 2038. Scientists are working night and day to resolve this issue. I'll keep this thread updated with results.
