Scientific experts from around the world are genuinely predicting that five years from now, all life on Earth could well finish. Some are saying it'll be humans that set it off. Others believe that a natural phenomenon will be the cause. And the religious folks are saying it'll be God himself who presses the stop button,

Mayan Calendar
¤
The first mob to predict 2012 as the end of the world were the Mayans, a bloodthirsty race that were good at two things:

Building highly accurate astrological equipment out of stone and
Sacrificing Virgins.

Thousands of years ago they managed to calculate the length of the lunar moon as 329.53020days, only 34 seconds out!
The Mayan calendar predicts that the Earth will end on December 21, 2012. Given that they were pretty close to the mark with the lunar cycle, it's likely they've got the end of the world right as well.

Solar experts from around the world monitoring the sun have made a startling discovery:
Our sun is in a bit of strife. The energy output of the sun is, like most things in nature, cyclic, and it's supposed to be in the middle of a period of relative stability. However, recent solar storms have been bombarding the Earth with so much radiation energy, it's been knocking out power grids and destroying satellites. This activity is predicted to get worse, and calculations suggest it'll reach its deadly peak sometime in 2012

Super Volcano
¤
Yellowstone National Park in the United States is famous for its thermal springs and Old Faithful geyser. The reason for this is simple - it's sitting on top of the world's biggest volcano, and geological experts are beginning to get nervous sweats.
The Yellowstone volcano has a pattern of erupting every 650,000 years or so, and we're many years overdue for an explosion that will fill the atmosphere with ash, blocking the sun and plunging the Earth into a frozen winter that could last up to 15,000 years. The pressure under the Yellowstone is building steadily, and geologists have set 2012 as a likely date for the big bang

Well, maybe the reasons are way over seven.
Bt, as much as we all aren't sure about ds; we shldn't ignore it.

Biblically, even the angels dnt know when so forget science. It may aswell be before 2012. Only GOD knows.
Re: 7 Reasons The World Would End In 2012 by degee(m): 6:59am On Feb 16, 2010
The bible talks about the Apocalypse, witnesses talk about a new paradise. And now, the mayans, science etc
could all these be coincidence?

The bible also says, "No man knoweth the day nor the hour, " matt. 25:13
The bible also says, "He cometh like a thief in the night"II Peter 3:10
The bible didn't say "no man knoweth the month or the year"
And who knows, ds might be a clue
Re: 7 Reasons The World Would End In 2012 by kitlady02(f): 3:03pm On Feb 16, 2010
The bible says "man shall not live by bread alone" does it mean we should stop eating bread,
That ur interpretation of matt 25: 13 is wrong,
Scientists have not figured out how the world came to be. Now the want to predict the end,
Only God knows when this world will end, it could be 2nite,

According to Quran 7:187, only Allah knows the when this world perishes, and He said that it'll come to you unknowingly. So scientists do not know nothing about the establishment of hour as it remains hidden only to Almighty Allah.

Haven't you heard the song? "bo ti ri nigba 'ye Noah, om be nisinyi o, opo lo tin so, wipe Jesu ko ni de mo o." I guess you guys should go listen to that song. Some say the world would never end, WHAT IF it does. You know what, just go prepare for the end, or have you ever seen something with a beginning, that won't have an end? Forget about science or whatever. THE WORLD IS SURELY COMING TO AN END SOMEDAY, even if it does, can you predict when you'll die? And if you do, the very next second, where would you spend eternity? I think thats the better question you guys should answer. See you in heaven AT THE END OF THE WORLD or maybe at the end of your life,

o boy, make u no deceive yourself and others who do not know anything and make you no fool yourself but only try reading the Bible and that's all.

Yes! this world must end one day. but who knows when?, or do you?, i don't know.

Jesus Christ whom we pray for always don't even know let alone we ordinary human creatures by Jesus Christ in His Likeness.

but only God living in the third haven can tell when. Read The BIBLE!

What ever happens. I kind of believe it and it sound ok. What has a beginning must have an end. But this is a reason to also fight for our right in Nigeria with the little time we have we can leave a good life worth remembering by whoever is keeping lifes record. Afterall it is not how long but how well.

No, it's not true, the world is not going to be destroyed by a cataclysm in 2012.

I think there's no Doomsday in the mayan calendar. It was divided into Katums, several periods of time, and 21 dec 2012 is simply the end of a Katum, there's no more katums probably because they didn't have time enough to calculate it.

Much like Y2K, 2012 has been analyzed and the science of the end of the Earth thoroughly studied. Contrary to some of the common beliefs out there, the science behind the end of the world quickly unravels when pinned down to the 2012 timeline. Below, NASA Scientists answer several questions that we're frequently asked regarding 2012.

Question (Q): Are there any threats to the Earth in 2012? Many Internet websites say the world will end in December 2012.
Answer (A): Nothing bad will happen to the Earth in 2012. Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years, and credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012.

Q: What is the origin of the prediction that the world will end in 2012?
A: The story started with claims that Nibiru, a supposed planet discovered by the Sumerians, is headed toward Earth. This catastrophe was initially predicted for May 2003, but when nothing happened the doomsday date was moved forward to December 2012. Then these two fables were linked to the end of one of the cycles in the ancient Mayan calendar at the winter solstice in 2012 -- hence the predicted doomsday date of December 21, 2012.

Q: Does the Mayan calendar end in December 2012?
A: Just as the calendar you have on your kitchen wall does not cease to exist after December 31, the Mayan calendar does not cease to exist on December 21, 2012. This date is the end of the Mayan long-count period but then -- just as your calendar begins again on January 1 -- another long-count period begins for the Mayan calendar.

Q: Could a phenomena occur where planets align in a way that impacts Earth?
A: There are no planetary alignments in the next few decades, Earth will not cross the galactic plane in 2012, and even if these alignments were to occur, their effects on the Earth would be negligible. Each December the Earth and sun align with the approximate center of the Milky Way Galaxy but that is an annual event of no consequence.

"There apparently is a great deal of interest in celestial bodies, and their locations and trajectories at the end of the calendar year 2012. Now, I for one love a good book or movie as much as the next guy. But the stuff flying around through cyberspace, TV and the movies is not based on science. There is even a fake NASA news release out there, "
- Don Yeomans, NASA senior research scientist Q: Is there a planet or brown dwarf called Nibiru or Planet X or Eris that is approaching the Earth and threatening our planet with widespread destruction?
A: Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an Internet hoax. There is no factual basis for these claims. If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth in 2012, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist. Eris is real, but it is a dwarf planet similar to Pluto that will remain in the outer solar system; the closest it can come to Earth is about 4 billion miles.

Q: What is the polar shift theory? Is it true that the earth’s crust does a 180-degree rotation around the core in a matter of days if not hours?
A: A reversal in the rotation of Earth is impossible. There are slow movements of the continents (for example Antarctica was near the equator hundreds of millions of years ago), but that is irrelevant to claims of reversal of the rotational poles. However, many of the disaster websites pull a bait-and-shift to fool people. They claim a relationship between the rotation and the magnetic polarity of Earth, which does change irregularly, with a magnetic reversal taking place every 400,000 years on average. As far as we know, such a magnetic reversal doesn’t cause any harm to life on Earth. A magnetic reversal is very unlikely to happen in the next few millennia, anyway.

Earth, as seen in the Blue Marble: Next Generation collection of images, showing the color of the planet's surface in high resolution. This image shows South America from September 2004. Q: Is the Earth in danger of being hit by a meteor in 2012?
A: The Earth has always been subject to impacts by comets and asteroids, although big hits are very rare. The last big impact was 65 million years ago, and that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Today NASA astronomers are carrying out a survey called the Spaceguard Survey to find any large near-Earth asteroids long before they hit. We have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs. All this work is done openly with the discoveries posted every day on the NASA NEO Program Office website, so you can see for yourself that nothing is predicted to hit in 2012.

Q: How do NASA scientists feel about claims of pending doomsday?
A: For any claims of disaster or dramatic changes in 2012, where is the science? Where is the evidence? There is none, and for all the fictional assertions, whether they are made in books, movies, documentaries or over the Internet, we cannot change that simple fact. There is no credible evidence for any of the assertions made in support of unusual events taking place in December 2012.

Q: Is there a danger from giant solar storms predicted for 2012?
A: Solar activity has a regular cycle, with peaks approximately every 11 years. Near these activity peaks, solar flares can cause some interruption of satellite communications, although engineers are learning how to build electronics that are protected against most solar storms. But there is no special risk associated with 2012. The next solar maximum will occur in the 2012-2014 time frame and is predicted to be an average solar cycle, no different than previous cycles throughout history.
