No one for sure can say the "world is going to end" according to an ancient culture it said that in the year 2012 the world will end. I believe it to be total bull...if thats the case then why didn't Y2K happen like everyone said it would?
Eventually everyone is going to die which is jsut apart of life you don't know when you're going to die. Life is mysterious and you jsut have to live it day by day. Don't let the media scare you though they tend to over exaggerate a lot anyway. [ AdviceMistress's advice column | Ask AdviceMistress A Question ]

He says in the bible that only He knows when the world will end and I believe him. Sure there are alot of predections about then the world is goin to end but the only one who knows the truth is the one who created the earth. i am young also and there alot that i still want to do but i also know that the life that God has planned for me will be exactly the life that i need.

And the ads, they are promoting a fictional, disaster movie called 2012. (Even bigger Bullshit I suspect.)
The world is probably not going to end in 2012, and even if it does, that doesn't make the people who said it would right, it makes for an amazingly lucky guess.
If someone tells you the Mayans predicited the end of the world: They Didn't.
The Mayan's never said the world was going to end in 2012. They divided their calendar, which accounted for thousands of years of passing time, into epochs, based on the movement of Venus through the sky. In 2012, we enter a new epoch in the Mayan calendar, call the Fifth Sun or Fifth World, which is similar symbolically to say a new millennium or centaury in our calendar.
Some people say it's in the Bible.
It's not.
The idea that 2012 is a Christian idea comes mostly from the 1997 book called The Bible Code by Michael Drosnin that says a comet will collide with earth by 'decoding' secret messages in the bible... There is no sense at all to this 'code' using Drosnin's method for finding 'codes' in the bible you could get the same sort of predictions off the front page of the New York Times. (Drosnin also believed those codes were put there by Aliens, not God and also predicted nuclear war in 2006...)
Pole Shift or Sun Spot theories, are also complete nonsense.
The winter solstice is the day of the year were we have the fewest hours of day light and the longest night. It has absolutely nothing to do with the bogus "End of the World in 2012" beliefs, people just throw it in trying to make their silly stories sounds more creditable by mentioning something that DOES actually happen each year.
And Finally! The ONE thing, that will happen on about Dec 12, 2012:
There WILL be a cool alignment around that time with Venus and the center of our milky way galaxy. Earth, Venus and The Sun will all be in line with the centre of the galaxy... But that is just a neat phenomenon, like looking straight down into a whirlpool, but will have no effect on anything, not gravity or our magnetic polls or anything. It's just a matter of perspective and it's kinda cool. That's all.

Edit: What on God's Green Earth does change in the genetic material of a population of organisms from one generation to the next have do with the end of the world in 2012! Sesh. Seriously? Where do people come up with craziness? [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
