Year 2012 is the end of the world?


Please note that these 2012 predictions / theories / ideas, are NOT listed because we believe they will happen but because some people believe they will happen.
The 2012 predictions below are not in any particular order of importance.

2012 PREDICTIONS

2012 Predictions - No. 1  Mayan Calendar 2012

The Mayans have a "long-count" calendar that covers 1,000's of years.  It ends on 21 December, 2012.  Of the 2012 predictions this is the one that has received most attention.  So, are the Mayan's concerned about this?  Do they think this means the end of the world in  2012? 

Mayan archaeologist Jose Huchm said, "If I went to some Mayan-speaking communities and asked people what is going to happen in 2012, they wouldn't have any idea.  That the world is going to end? They wouldn't believe you. We have real concerns these days, like rain."  [quoted from "What is the galactic alignment" by John Major Jenkins]  The Mayan's themselves don't believe the 2012 end of the world predictions which have been based on their calendar.



2012 Predictions - No. 2  Nostradamus 2012

The 2012 predictions would not be complete without Nostradamus.  Nostradamus was a French man some believe to be a prophet.  Some believe that his predictions included the September 11 attacks on the twin towers that his writings also contained 2012 predictions about the end of the world.



2012 Predictions - No. 3  Planet X 2012 (Nibiru)

Included among 2012 predictions is the belief that there is a 12th planet in our solar system whose orbital path comes close to earth every 30 million or so years.  If it doesn't hit us they say, the gravitational pull of this planet will cause massive destruction on earth that we will not recover from.  They say that because of this, 2012 will be the end of the world.



2012 Predictions - No. 4  Armageddon 2012

Armageddon is the prediction of an ultimate war between good and evil that the Bible speaks of.  It is a war that God himself will step in and end.  Even those who do not believe in the Bible believe that the way the world is going, we are headed for a final conflict that will bring an end to most of not all civilization.





2012 Predictions - No. 5  Apocalypse 2012

Apocalypse is different to Armageddon. It is the English version of the Greek word apokalupsis. Apokalupsis is translated as "revelation" in the book of Revelation in the Bible. It means "lifting of the veil". However, the word Apocalypse has historically taken on the meaning of "the terrible judgements foretold to happen at the end of Man's rule on Earth" which are described in that book.

Thus, "The Apocalypse" is another term for the book of Revelation, as well as the series of events described in the book of Revelation.  Apocalypse is also a technical term for a certain type of biblical prophecy. An apocalyptic passage in the Bible is viewed as a prophecy describing events that will surely come to pass, and thus cannot be affected by the choices made by men. One of those events is the battle of Armageddon. 

There is an Apocalypse 2012 that you can trust will happen.  And it is related to the end of the world.



2012 Predictions - No. 6  Solar Flares 2012

NASA regularly monitor solar (sun) activity and can even predict general cycles showing when the most likely time will be for larger flares.  In a general way, these predictions are reasonable reliable.  But do their predictions include an extra big flare on December 21, 2012?  With what certainty can NASA tell us that a solar flare will bring the end of the world in 2012?



2012 Predictions - No. 7  December 21, 2012 Galactic Alignment

It is claimed that on December 21, 2012 there will be some form of mystical astronomical alignment with the center of our galaxy.  One version of this theory says that the alignment occurs when the sun rises above the horizon on December 21st 2012 (the winter solstice) at which point the sun will rise in the middle of the milky way, thus causing an alignment between the earth sun and the galactic center. 
While astronomy programmes appear to verify this, there are however some serious problems with building a case for the end of the world in 2012.



2012 Predictions - No. 8  Aliens 2012 rescue or not

Some believe that humanity was genetically "seeded" by a superior alien race.  They believe that in 2012 this race are going to come back and do a number of things such as rescue us from self destruction, bring us enlightenment and so on...  There are also some who believe that they will simply help us destroy ourselves. 

Some time ago, a number of people committed suicide as a comet was passing by earth because they believed an alien space craft was hidden behind the comet and the way to be transported on to it and transformed into a new form of existence was to take their lives at that time.  It was a tragedy. 



2012 Predictions No. 9 - The Web Bot Project

Strictly speaking, the Web Bot project is not one of the 2012 predictions but rather a method some have put faith in to make predictions.  Some believe the this project has lead to 2012 Predictions about the end of the world.  So what's happening here? 

Well, the Web Bot Project was originally developed late in the 1990's to make stock market predictions - not 2012 predictions!  It is a automated Internet robot (software programme) that uses robot "spiders" to search the Internet for about 300,000 key emotional words with their context.  It uses this to create a "snapshot" of the so called "collective unconscious" of humanity. 

From this it is supposed to be able to predict future catastrophic events sixty to ninety days in advance.  The Web Bot's predictions are said to include the September 11 bombings as well as some other events. 

It has however, also had some big misses.  One of its predictions was for a massive earthquake in Vancouver and the pacific north west for December 12, 2008.  They never happened!

What about 2012 predictions?  Well, a future prediction is for a major cataclysm possibly involving a reversing of the poles and maybe also a small number of nuclear attacks leading up to a major attack.  Please understand, these are not 2012 predictions and they are not saying that this will definitely lead to the end of the world.  They are just calculated guesses using a computer. 

Whatever people think this machine can do, it cannot predict the arrival of a planet X Nibiru (for example) because the planet doesn't exist (see link above); nor can it predict disasters coming from any kind of "galactic alignment" since this happens every year without any causing earth any problems.  See the page on NIBIRU 2012.

    How do you know? You don't. You blurt out what you "think" is correct but have no intelligence to back it up. You're just a scared little boy living at home with his parents, with no knowledge about life, let alone the universe and what it's capable of.
