Title: Why The world WON'T end on December 21st 2012!
Post by: mrt127 on March 14, 2012, 10:22:00 AM: First Theory is that the world will be hit by a planet with a highly elliptical orbit known as Nibiru/ Planet X.
1: If Nibiru was heading for Earth we would be able to see it by now.
2: No Telescopic evidence that this planet even exists in fact no evidence at all.

Second Theory is that the Earth, The Sun and The Center of the Galaxy will all be in line with each other and knock Earth out of it's orbit.
1. This is true, this will happen on December 21st 2012 ... But it also happens every year on December 21st

Third Theory is that the Sun's solar flares will reach there highest point and kill everyone.
1: The Sun Reaches it's maximum activity every 11 years!
2: Last time I checked I didn't die in 2001.

Fourth Theory is that the Mayan Calender ends on that day and something drastic will happen.
1: The Mayan Calender does not end on that day.
2: The Mayan Long count ends on that day which is every 5125 years I think just like 10 years is a decade for us.
3: As soon as it ends it will renew again, just like your calander ( if you have one!) ends on December 31st but then you renew it.
4: How did the Mayans predict something like that, they thought that the Sun would come up again if they stabbed someone in the heart! ( or was that the Aztecs? )

4: Fifth Theory is Earth's pole shift.
1: while this is real, it is a gradual process but maybe something our children's Children's Children's Children's Children's (Recurring) might have to deal with.

There you go! I hope I settled your nerves!

Also my plan was to party of some person's house that thought it would happen so they commited suicide or something on December 22nd.

well if it is an unusually extreme season, it could knock out electricity and communication grids, making it very hard to rebuild and setting back civilization a couple decades

Yes I know, but what I meant was it won't physically kill us.

Exactly! But how does a dead body grow?

That was the Aztecs. While the Mayans did practice human sacrifice, the Aztecs did it on a much larger scale.

At least it was the Aztecs who believed they had to sacrifice the gods a human heart so that the sun would come up or something like that, not sure if the Mayans believed the same thing about the sun.

Post by: vh on March 14, 2012, 01:38:59 PM: well, just because an ancient civilization was wrong about one thing does not mean it is wrong about others. that's just trying to connect the ideas that mayans/aztecs are/were wrong about the world ending because they were also wrong about the sun, two nonlinked events.

Post by: mrt127 on March 14, 2012, 01:46:46 PM: Well, I don't know that much about Incas, The Mayans and The Aztecs, But if they don't know much about The Sun, The Earth or the world around them, I can't see how they could make an educated guess of when the world will end.

Well, we're pretty clueless when it comes to solving pollution, overpopulation, and poverty, but we somehow put a man on the moon and can cure cancer.

and darvince, kol, a dead body GROWS because it LOSES body fluids? am i missing something
