When the world doesn't end on 12/21/12, when will the new not-the-end-of-the-world date be?
Now it has to be at least a little while in the future, or else people will get armageddon fatigue, and nobody will listen to these particular attention-starved idiots.
Just to be serious, hate that; according to the information doubling theory, at the current rate of information flow/doubling of information reaches unmanageable rate right around that date. It's only 3 yrs away, so the numbers can't be far wrong. At that point, info will be doubling at the rate of a nanosecond making it all useless. So I interpret that prediction not to mean the end of the world, but the end of society. Incidentally, there's an ancient myth that says, Atlantis was destroyed by the exact same thing, and all the knowledge was lost. And, of course, more recently, the East German Police, the Stassi, fell from too many people collecting information and no one doing anything to the benefit of society. If you think this is all theoretical BS, go to the Motor Vehicle Bureau and ask for your record. Tell them you're fighting a parking ticket or some story like that. See what comes out.
I do not believe you are seriously awaiting for the event and if it happens you will ask God why? Or maybe you will not have time anymore to question it. Think of the prediction like in the Book of Jonah, it did not happen because people repented and turned away from their evil deeds. Instead of mocking the prediction why don't we all try to do the same, I do not think there is anything wrong with trying to be good with ourselves and the rest of the living creatures around the world. Is there anything wrong by helping our environment? is there anything wrong by living in a peaceful world without wars? Is there anything wrong with people trying to say that the world is at hand when it simple message only conveys the intention for the world to do away too worldly a life? True or not true to happen, will you not feel good if the world turns to be more loving, compassionate, merciful and understanding with one another? or are you really so evil minded that you always try to mock a good intention? You have nothing but to be joyful if the event will not take place but for your kind of people I hope that your life will be spared to witness it and imagine how it is to live alone among the dead bodies around you.
1998 to 2012 Gordon-Michael Scallion predicted major catastrophic earth events: global warming, melting polar ice caps, earthquakes, volcanoes erupting, etc. 21st century: Thomas Chase predicted that when the world's population reaches 6.66 billion, the war of Armageddon may occur. It has already passed this number. 6
Before 2019: Tathagata predicted in 1999 that the end of the world as we know it will happen within the next twenty years. an imbalance in gravity will cause the disappearance of all civilizations by a 1000 meter high tsunami, as well as earthquakes, volcanoes and "crustal formations. ... Most of creatures are to be exterminated." 7
The point is - Don't worry. There are plenty of nut cases out there making predictions. And they will continue to for hundreds of years.
