Do not worry. I assure you that your child will still have a future and so will you. Why won't the world end in 2012?
The theory of the world ending in 2012 isn't true, it's just a silly hoax. The world isn't going to end on December 21, 2012, just the Mayan Calendar ends. One of several Mayan calendars is the Long Count calendar, which is reset to day 0 every 1,872,000 days or 7057.5 years. The next reset date, by some calculations, is December 21, 2012. This is not a prediction of the end of the world. The Mayan Calendar has to end sometime. Besides, nobody can't predict when the end of the world is. You shouldn't always believe what you hear from other people. The scientific evidence about 2012 doesn't go together. Those who spread rumors about 2012 should be punished. You know what is sad, people may commit suicide over this thinking its the end of the world. Or maybe some people would get unwise with their money and spend it all like crazy and be in thousands of dollars in debt, just because they thought the world would end. Then they have to pay it off later and deal with the stress of those bills. That's why those who spread rumors about 2012 should be punished. You know what else is false about this 2012 garbage?
● Planet X (Nibiru) isn't going to hit the Earth it doesn't exist.
● Poles are switching everyday, this isn't going to happen all in just 1 day. This process takes thousands of years. Throughout geological history there has been may pole switches and life has still survived.
● Also people are saying these poles will switch in one day due to a black hole. That's NOT true. The nearest black hole to our galaxy is 1600 light years away.
● Sun will be lined up with a sunspot, but it doesn't mean it will wipe out all life on Earth. One time ago, Earth was lined up with a sunspot and people were on it and everybody didn't just die.
● There is not going to be catasphoic earthquakes.
● In the Bible there is nothing that says the world will end in 2012. They say they got their proof from Revelation 13 and you see the number 666 and that number is just a number in God's book that represents human imperfection. So, 3 of those 6's mean humans are extremely imperfect.
● Just because certain cultures predict it like the Chinese, Japanese and all of them doesn't mean their predictions are correct. As I said, nobody can predict such a thing.
● No comment will hit Earth.
● We are going to have a rare night sky, nothing more. No asteriods, no comments, etc.
Each time the end the world is predicted. They are always wrong. Here are all the predictions of when the world would end and each time they where wrong. Every year there is a prediction like this. I'm sure that if 2012 doesn't happen, they will think of something else. Through out history the end has been predicted but has never happened so, whats the point of worrying? What if tommarow you chocked on a sandwich?

Im freaked out too, these are all the people who predicted something is going to happen in 2012, Nostradamis, Oracle at Delphi, Edgar Cayce, the I Ching, Native Americans, and of course the Mayan's, All of these prophets have been pretty much right on with there predictions, so yes it is very scary. Any thing could happen in the next few years, I would deffinately pray, I am. It is even scarier to know that there have been over 400 earthquakes in yellowstone park in the last few days that scientists cannot explain and it is not normal, Yellowstone in in the Caldera of a Super Volcanoe and if it goes off the whole country would be devasted, could this be leading up to 2012? There is also supposed to be a polor tilt in 2012 and the planets all line up with the very center of the milkyway galaxy, where I heard there may be a super black whole, but I dont know that for sure, crazy to think about, Grab your kids, hold them tight and pray to God that it will all turn out good in the end. (just incase) :)

Ho hum Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn!!! how many times have I heard some crack pot spout off about the end of the world (not meaning you) in my short 59 years on this earth. Nostradamus has been debunked many times. If you really want to you can read anything into any story you want, let your imagination live. As for me I predict there will be another war started by some one with a name. Predicting war is a sure thing considering there has been only 230 (approx.) years without a war of some kind in the last 2 or 3 millenium

It was predicted by Nostradamus the 16th century prophet that the world as we know it will be destroyed (this does not necessarily mean the end of life completely) by a comet that will hit the earth near China causing a huge tidal wave. This supposedly will hit in 2012 and NASA astronomers have identified the possible comet. It is called 'Niburu' and hasn't been seen for hundreds of years. However, the red dust from its tail can be seen ever five years above certain parts of the Northern hemisphere so we know it is very close. They cannot, however, work out if its flight path does meet earth.
Nostradamus has been right about many many things such as Napoleon, Hitler, the 9/11 attacks, the great fire of London and the American revolution - predicted all in great detail and correct dates - even correct names and locations.
Does this mean his 2012 comet prediction is right? Who knows?

there is not any concept. it is in simple terms different halves thoughts. Your observe asserting that the historic past Channel did a coach explains why this has arise probable 25 circumstances right here interior the previous couple of days. as some distance because of the fact the validity is going, shows like this develop the rankings. we've 2 or 3 ends of the international each and every 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. The solar and the earth heavily isn't interior the process the Milky way. i don't comprehend how they might say that. feels like somebody in center college invented that except by center they mean galactic plane and so some distance as that is going, so what. We orbit 2 thirds of how out. The magnetic field of the earth does turn yet on it is very own. The galactic magnetic field is extremely susceptible. in any different case it might impression out compasses. Wow, I in simple terms don't think this way of decent channel easily broadcast this way of crap, yet then they do have unidentified flying merchandise shows on claiming they''re genuine. 2012 is whilst the Mayan calendar runs out and that's the place this all began. easily the international ends on the top of February next 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. it is whilst my Barnes & Noble calendar with the canines runs out.

Do not be "freaked out." The chances of the world "ending" (whatever that means) in 2012 are no greater or lesser than in any other year.
I wish Yahoo would put a filter on "2012," at least in the math / science groups. This question shows up dozens of times each day.
And the movie looks like it will be even sillier than "The Day After Tomorrow."

I hope the world ends tonight because I don't want to go back to my ridiculous school with its 6 hr homework and pedophile teachers.

I PRAY AND HOPE TO GOD that something happens in 2012 that will change society because look where we are going- nowhere and FAST!!!!

ALL of these predictions -- and ANY "end of the World" prediction -- was designed to sell those cheap magazine on the grocery store.
Simply put, those stories are designed to scare little children, and people too ignorant to understand facts.
Which are you?
