    There is no actual scientific theory or evidence that anything unusual is going to happen in 2012. It is a collection of myths and disproven theories being promulgated by doomsday predictors, who predict a new one every few years. The longer explanation is below:

    It is based on the end the current cycle of the Mayan long count calendar. No doomsday was predicted and the Mayan civilization died out.

    Niburu (Planet X) doesn't exist. Zecharia Sitchin is an author of books promoting the ancient astronaut theory for human origins. He attributes the creation of the ancient Sumerian culture to the Annunaki (or Nephilim) from a hypothetical planet named Nibiru in the solar system. The Doomsayers predicted that it was to hit Earth in 2003. When it didn't show up, they just moved it out to 2012 to coincide with the end of the Mayan calendar.

    Galactic Alignment - takes 36 years to precess through galactic equator, we will be 6 degrees off in 2012.

    Asteroid Apophis - the 2001 alert was for 2029, and was canceled after additional observations showed it would not hit us.

    Polar Shift - the magnetic poles are moving all the time. Polar reversal happens over thousands of years.

    Passage through a "photon belt" has been added. This is also untrue and wouldn't hurt us if it were. Photons are merely units of light.

    Solar flares happen all the time and we have more of them at some times than others. They haven't caused any serious problems in the past. The direct effects of solar flares are mainly related to communications and radio transmissions. We had a major series of solar flares in 2005. Did you notice anything? I didn't.

    Some people have nothing better to do. The end was predicted in 1000, and 2000 and when all the planets aligned in the 80's and nothing happened. The Mayan calender ends at 2012. People assumed the predicted the end of the world. It simply means the ended their calender in 2012, they had to stop it somewhere! So what could happen? A meteor hit, a large solar flare, Ice age, large shift in the earth axes, Bush starting WW3, Extraterrestrials taking over, (not necessarily bad), just about anything that can happen anytime. So if the world does end, there is nothing you can do about it so do not worry about it, just keep close to your family.

    I have not seen any of the YouTube theories. I think that there will be an earth quake pursuant to Revelation 8:5 and when that happens, I think we could count 42 months till Jesus comes. But as for now, Jesus is right, we know neither the day nor the hour of aHis appearing. So, there is enough time, for the earthquake to happen, on a world wide basis and then for the 42 months to come and go before 2012.

    See if you can tell about this by reading the whole book of Revelation and the book of Danile. Daniel two says there will be a stone cut out without hands that will smite the image in the feet and destroy it and then the Kingdom of Heaven will be set up and will last for ever and ever. I am eager for that time to come. We are told that whoever endures unto the end, the same will be saved. Be faithful!!!

    Who knows? There have been many "end of the world is nigh" theories and this may just be another one...or it could be true. It's based on the fact that the Mayan calendar does not go beyond 2012. I guess we won't know until the time approaches. Given the way the world is going, it sounds plausible.

    I've heard about this, and what I've heard is that in 2012 it will be the end of the calender. From what I've heard from other people, this means the end of the world. Although the way I see it, it's more likely to be Jesus' second coming or something along those lines, which would start a new religion, which would start a new calender.

    Won't happen, the Mayan calender ends then. Just like our calender ends every Dec 31....we just start over with Jan 1. If the Mayans were still around they would do the same thing.

    They just used a different star, where we used the sun.

    I think that it goin to be mad, there going to be another big bomb go off somewhere in london ( before they get the guards and extra police in ready for the 2012 games ) and that will make everything go slow or just stop so london will stand still letting no one in and the games will be put on hold. Gr8 whos looking forward to it. should be fun :))))))

    Instead of waiting for the passage of time to tell us that this theory is ridiculously stupid, let's consider the number of popular doomsday stories in the last few centuries. There are thousands of them, and they were all wrong.

    In case you missed it, let me again highlight the words "ridiculously stupid".
