Many say that the year 2012 will be the end of the world because of the Mayan Calendar, or the Mayan theory. Do you believe in this prediction? Well, if you ask me, it’s so hard to tell. I have heard so many predictions already and some happened and most of the time NOT. Honestly, I really don’t believe in predictions because from the word itself we can define the meaning of it. However, as what is happening in our world today I can say that maybe it is true. Just like what happened in our country last year (2009), we have experienced a typhoon that almost killed thousands of people for only a day. Actually, not only people have killed but also millions of people wealth had lost. This year 2010 many countries also experienced typhoon, tsunami, and earthquake that also killed hundred of thousands of people and their wealth and properties. Almost every week I heard in the news different countries that experienced this kind of tragedy. I’m really wondering in all the things that happened nowadays are already the signs for the Mayans theory. What do you think? Do you believe that we all gonna die? I’m not scared to die actually but I’m afraid of the possibilities might happen before I die.
Hope to hear from you.

I dont believe that the year 2012 will be End of the World. As they said the Mayan Calendar is just end of the calendar not the end of world. But if we think what going on in our environment probably "its just happen that our environmet became this way because we never protect our environement."

Yes, you're right! Only the Mayan Calendar ends and not our world. Besides, we had heard so many predictions and up to now we are still alive. I guess we will die if it is Gods will. With the environment, some point we are the one who cause the effects. However, with earthquakes, tsunami and volcano eruption I don't think so that human being are the one should be blame of this. It's a natural phenomenon. Whether we like it or not some things happen unexpectedly. Its all possibilities. Only God knows what's gonna happen to all of us.
Anyway, thanks for the response.

Sometimes I also think about this question. Our earth's environment is getting wosre and worse, and we are facing more and more challenges. To win or to fail, it is a question.

No, I don't believe the world will end in 2012. The Mayans have not been 100% accurate thus far and the fact that their calendar ends in that year does not convince me that they know something the rest of us don't know. You wrote about typhoons, tsunamis and earthquakes but this world has been experiencing natural events since the dawn of time. I live in Florida, on the east coast of the U.S. A few years ago we had 4 hurricanes...this past year we had none. There is no way to predict natural events but I do believe that all of us should be concerned about man's impact on the earth.

I think, the idea that the world will end by Year 2010 was only popularized by the movie 2012. In my understanding of the movie, they are trying to bring out the idea that the Earth's crust will soon crumble down and the water will rise up just like what happened during Noah's Flood (The Deluge). This idea is only a product of human's imagination, but who knows, anything is possible. But don't worry and don't be afraid. If you are a Bible believer, and if you believe in God, His promise and His plan, there's nothing to worry about, but to rejoice. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not into your own understanding... And, all things work together for good, to them that love God.

I don't believe the earth will end though as a Christian I do think we are living in end times. And no one knows when the earth will end, not even the Mayans. My son made a poignant comment on this: maybe they just need to continue their calendar.

As far as I am concerned, I think the 2012 may not be the end of the world ,which is just a saying that the world will be over in 2012. It can not be true that year. For the techlogy is so developing now, I think we have the ability to over come the difficulties.
