SCIENCE
Planet X does not exist, it was invented in about 1993 by a near-psychopath called Nancy Lieder. It was supposed to be here in 2003. Oops. This time round it was supposed to be visible from 15 May 2009 onwards, nobody in either northern or southern hemispheres has seen it. Double oops.
Nibiru does not exist. it was invented about 35 ago by a career fraud, Zecharia Sitchin. Even he says it will not be here until after 2085. Oops
Planetary alignments are a straight out lie. They would have no effect anyway. Their gravity is too weak.
It is a lie that our solar system will pass through the central plane of the galaxy, the solar system did that millions of years ago, it is still moving away and will not be back for around 30 million years.
Some of the galactic alignments they talk about are "nearly" true, but one came closest in 1998 and we are moving away from it, one other almost happens twice every year! They would have no effect anyway as the gravity of the distant parts of the galaxy is too weak out here.
Astronomers have not detected any meteors, comets or asteroids that are likely to hit in 2012.
The peak of the next solar cycle will probably happen in the middle of 2013, and recent estimates say it will be about average. Even if it turns out to be bad, it might affect power supplies and communications for a few hours.
The so-called photon belt does not exist, it is supposed to be around the "Seven Sisters" and our solar system is moving away from them anyway.
HISTORY
Deluded people of one sort of another have been predicting the end of the world or the end of the world as we know it for at least 2800 years. The web site "A Brief History of the Apocalypse" gives short details of hundreds of predictions that never came true.
MYTH
The dates 21 or 23 December 2012 was selected by Jose Arguelles about 20 years ago as the time of a great change. He says he is the reincarnation of a Mayan priest and that the way we measure time is damaging the environment, and that time is faster than light.
This was based on the fact that one cycle of the long count of days developed by the Mayan civilisation ends on the solstice. The fact is that the Mayans never predicted anything except eclipses, which many more ancient cultures could do. It is useful to kings and priests since it wows the peasants into paying taxes.
The Mayan civilisation fell to bits about 1100 years ago and the Aztecs got started a bit later. The Aztecs probably adopted some of the Mayan ideas. Some of these ideas might have spread to the Hopi.
The Chinese I Ching is a fortune telling system based on tossing three coins and using a book of patterns of long and short lines. One habitual drug taker, Terence McKenna ,tried to make it fit Arguelles 2012 prediction but it didn't quite work. Others like Patrick Geryl are supposed to have "confirmed" Arguelles but really just jumped on his bandwagon.
Some people quote the "Bible Codes" by Michael Drosnin. There were shown to be nonsense a dozen years ago and even the scholar whose work Drosnin claims to have based them on has repudiated Drosnin as a fake.
Nostradamus is often quoted but his verses are in old French, are extremely obscure and some editions contain fake verses inserted to make it look as if he predicted something. Nothing he wrote has ever been directly connected with anything that happened after his death.
RELIGION
Christians and Muslims believe the world as we know it will end. So do the Hindus. Muslims and most Christians including the Orthodox, Catholic, Lutherans and the majority of Protestant sects say that we will never know when it will happen, it will just happen. Only a small minority of sects believe that it can be predicted or is sure to happen soon. Most of these sects are based in the USA and have always been wrong.
The Hindus say that the Universe goes in very long cycles, we are currently in one cycle which is nowhere near over and the Universe will last millions if not billions of years yet.
So there is no scientific evidence, the evidence from history is that these predictions are always wrong and most religion says we don't know or it will not happen for a very long time. The only prediction comes from deluded people, bandwagon jumpers and frauds.
There are frauds out there who want to take your money by selling you worthless shelters and survival books. To do that they have to frighten you first.
For lots more details see this site, which is not trying to sell anything but fact.

The dating for the doomsday thing, rubbish. No one knows the exact when. Will there be a distinct end of this age, and will the prophecy of the Bible be fulfilled, well, the "batting record" for Biblical prophecy is accuracy 1, error 0, and it could be considered the top of the ninth inning with error at 0 runs, not hits, all errors, and no one ever getting to first base, while Biblical prophecy is all home runs, no fouls, outs or anything else accept for being true. Based on historical record, and the "when" various things have happened, I believe that I can predict an event that will most likely coincide with the "rapture" of the church. The root beginning was at Pass over when Jesus was crucified, the church began at Pentecost which is the festival of First Fruits. What comes next in line is the Feast of Tabernacles, and that comes at the end of harvest. So, in some future year, I would expect the church, that is all Christians and those who are innocent, such as babies and the very young children, to suddenly disappear from the earth. What comes next is more misery than anyone has ever experienced.

There will be a second coming but no one knows the exact day or hour.
Jesus Himself promised to return in many passages, two are below:
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Jn 14:1-3.
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his angels witha a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Mt 24:30-31.

Isn't that when the Mayan calendar comes to its end? But apparently they would just wrap it around to 'year 0' again. That culture passed away centuries ago I think, there's a historical mystery about why it collapsed, but they did leave loads of inscriptions, including their calendar. They didn't know the gospel message though, so I don't think there is any connection with the christian end-time timeline. I think it could happen this century though ... 2030s would be my speculation for the tribulation period.

No, you will have to take comfort in the fact that your phony-baloney religion will never be tested, which is a GOOD thing, cause you'd get an "F".
2012 is just a year.
The 2012 Doomsday is a hoax. Don't drink the Kool-Aid.

If you put your trust in God that will be a glorious day for all who accept Jesus Christ as their savior. But as for when that day will be Jesus tells us in :
Matthew 24:36-39 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking marrying ad giving in marriage until the day that Noe entered the ark. And knew not until the flood came and took them all away so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
It could be today, so we need to witness and harvest as many souls as possible in this time that God has given us to do so.

not everything in Revelations has unfolded yet, so maybe im wrong and maybe im not, It does say in the Bible that no one not even Jesus knows the day nor hour of the second coming so that means no human knows so therefor i don't think it will happen on that day, i think that day can be the beginning of Revelations though, i definitely think something will happen though because the Mayans were a very very smart civilization
