ok i know this 2012 stuff is so old now and so much discussed that all of you will be tired of this by now but still i have to ask you all this as this is the only forum on which i have some trust of getting the right info.. my question is that y do all the regilions in the world like iching of china and the hinduism and islam and budhism and christiantiy and also that webbot project and ofcourse our most popular mayan culture point towards the same 2012 year. i mean its difficult to think of this as just a mere co-incidence that all point to same date considering all these cultures had no contact and most have many years of time difference between them. ofcourse webbot is not a religion but I thought of including this here.. i personally think that its kind of not right for the world to end in 2012 or even for a big change to occur which will change our lives or watever but then these kind of things as I wrote above kind of goes against that belief..

Huh? I'm not sure about the other religions, but according to Biblical prophecy the world should have ended more than 19 centuries ago. Where did you get the idea all these religions point to 2012?

The longer answer is that it's actually trivial to verify from a Christianity and Judaism standpoint. Simply read Revelations. No explicit year for the end of the world is mentioned. Like most predictions/prophesies, the only hints offered are vague and highly subject to interpretation. Not even the Mayans believed the world was going to end in 2012. Their calendar would simply roll over when they hit the end. And like the vast majority of predictions and prophesies, they're nearly always conveniently forgotten, or blatantly rescheduled, or outright lied about, by the time they fail to come true. It might be a bit before your time, but this end-of-world stuff is nothing new. You can almost set your calendar to it. Every three years or so, some group of people try to wind up the rest of the world with this junk for whatever lame reason. Ignoring Nancy Lieder (when possible), the last big one was May 2007. I may be wrong on the year, it wasn't all that memorable. Supposedly, this rare planetary alignment (with planets on both sides of the sun, mind you), was supposed to topple the Earth on its plane. I think I slept in that morning. Before that, 2004, Y2K (and then some), 1999, I think I remember writing about one one in 1997. And I vaguely remember those weren't the first ones I'd heard about, I just didn't care enough about it to pay even that much attention. I do remember the Earth was supposed to, and didn't, roll over at least three separate times over the past few decades. Quote:
If there was such an end-of-days prediction, there's absolutely no reason at all it couldn't have migrated all over Africa, Europe, and Asia in just a few hundred years. There really is nothing new under the sun.

oh well that explains it all... looks like the history channel is losing its credibility of its programs day by day then.. as i said in my first message that i personally dont believe in this 2012 hype but something comes up on such a good channel where you think everything they show is right and true that sometimes you just shut the doors of your own logical thinking. well thanks again for the right info.

Some of us refer to the History channel as the Nazi channel, because mostly what they show are programs about Hitler.
I don't think they ever had any credibility to lose.

From a personal point of view I find it very hard that someone will get any prophecy bang on the head and that it was predicted rather than guessed at. I will believe chance rather than design or it was meant to happen on events that are claimed as proven but when has there been one that is clear in its description apart from the world ending? I don't pretend to be aware of all the claims.
If you are going to do a prophecy then narrow it down a bit rather than vague inferences to some happening. I would imagine that someone now can with some accuracy predict a few happenings over the years. The main ingredients being the human being and the planet. The human is well known and the planet rocks and shakes and will take the odd hit from stuff. I bet there is a new earthquake tomorrow. They happen all the time. There will be another war and so on. Just me being skeptical of any claims of future telling. Apologies for the off the cuff comment. |

Sure thing, and yeah, History Channel has been running all sorts of anti-knowledge scaremonger woo-garbage for the past few years. I'm not even willing to vouch for the veracity of their WWII documentaries anymore.

they actually had two things running on this 2012 thing.. one was that 2012 doomsday scenario and other was the nostradamus one... THC is not on my list anymore.. but then talking of credibility here.. how will you rate the credibility of the govt to hide things as serious as end of world on a scale of 1 to 10

Essentially, in order to hide something that could end the world- it would have to hide the existence of whatever it was that was going to cause it.
If it's astronomical- that means silencing literally millions and millions of people. Impossible. Colleges and Universities and professional and amateur astronomers... Too many people are looking at the sky. Geological- well then you have the same problem. There are just way too many independents to shut up. I would scale it at a very low end of zero. |
