Doomsdays
The next doomsday is December 21st, 2012, in 3 years, and I know it's stupid, but I'm REALLY freaked out because there's lots of proof. All I do is worry now! ( Stuff at [Link](Mouse over link to see full location))
Can anyone help me?

Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
Should you really be worrying about this when you yourself referred to it as "the next doomsday"
Next?
Seriously? You're worried about yet another end of the world? You think it's going to happen when all the other one's haven't happened so far?
An interesting fact. The Mayans have not given a single other prediction about anything that anyone has treated as a revelation. Not even that there have been wrong predictions, they just didn't make any. No one knows why the Mayan calendar ends on 2012, but based on the complete lack of any other prophesies about anything in the culture we've been able to preserve and rediscover, we can pretty well assume that they weren't making one with that either.
The proof is alarmist manufactured bullshit, but I guess people need something to believe in.
For Christs sake, half the websites mention shit like Atlantis.
No guys, modern science has allowed us to map the entire ocean floor, we've explored the Mariana trench, the deepest area on earth. There are no sunken continents anywhere, unless you want to say that the earth just opened up and ate them.
God knows when the actual end of the world will come. That's the only true statement on the subject, because if God exists then he knows, and if God doesn't exist then no one knows.
Maybe we'll notice a catastrophic event someday. A predicted solar prominence that sets our atmosphere on fire, a comet the size of Texas that has to be blown up by a team of oil drillers led by Detective John McLane, something like that. But that would be something we'd learn through science, not something that some ancient myth peddler predicted and came true hundreds of years later.
The sole exceptions to that are the biblical apocalypse and nuclear holocaust. If we do end up wiped out by some astronomical phenomenon, it won't be something that anyone in the past could have predicted. Its only in the last 50-60 years that we've had the technology to actually get a close look at anything further out than the moon. We might see something coming now, they definitely couldn't back in the ye olde days of Tribes and Kingdoms and such.
