:) At some point, I realized that the question for me became, not when would the WORLD end....but when would MY world end?
Obviously....when it does, I will finally get some much needed sleep... :) heheh!
so I quit worrying about it all!
I know that this doesn't answer your questions, guys....just thought I'd throw that into the mix!
Have a happy day!
Joyce :)

"Sorin, englighten me. What did the mayans predict accurately?"
They accurately predicted that the December Solstice Sun will be lining up with the center of our Milky-Way Galaxy.
This is a very rare cosmic alignment, it happens once every 26,000 Years.
Every 26,000 years our sun aligns with the center of the Milk-Way, at this same time another extranomical rarity occurs, the earth completes a wobble around it's axis. This phenomena is called precession.
They also accurately predicted when they would be overrun by "white-skinned bearded gods" {Europeans} from across the ocean.

I'm very sceptical about any so called predictions of the future. When scrutinized most of these predictions tend to be very vague, and can be attributed to any number of cosmic or worldly events throughout history. Perfect example is Nostradamus. Most of what he predicted never even happened, those things he supposedly predicted accurately were very vague and cryptic, leaving much to the imagination.
If the Mayans were so pin point accurate in their knowledge of the future, why didn't they leg it when the "white bearded gods" invaded them? Surely if their knowledge of the future were so accurate, they could have foreseen that they would be wiped out in the tens of thousands and ran to the hills for safety??
I think I'll just go along with what the scriptures say on this issue...
Ecc 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.
Deu 18:20 But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.’
As far as I am concerned the scriptures are clear, if anyone be given the gift of prophesy, it is of God. If someone is prophesying falsely or speaks in the name of other pagan gods, God will deal with them and I need not be listening to what they say.

I'm sorry sorin, but honostly, have you looked into these so called predictions?
Do you believe nostradamous predicted hitlers arival and WWII also?
In Christ,
Alex
EDIT: I wanted to add as well, If you've ever tried SEARCHING for ANYTHING the mayans said about the year 2012 you find absolutely NOTHING. You find abunch of scared people spaming and re-gurgetating what the next person told them. Honostly from what i've seen from the HISTORY CHANNEL documentary was that the mayan calender ENDS in the YEAR 2012 and THATS IT! They didn't say anything about it! The most logical reason anyone has come up for why it ends is because THE CIVILIZATION COLLAPSED and they had no one left to continue to the calender days. It wasn't because they believed in some galactic alignment or some end of the world nonsence. Honostly, if you believe this stuff go do some research. I just have to wonder about your sources sometimes. Also the MAYANS DID NOT PREDICT THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION. I havn't found ONE REPUTABLE SOURCE that even remotely SUGGESTS the idea that they did.
So again sorin, i don't know where you are reading this stuff from. If you have a REPUTABLE SOURCE than PLEASE LINK IT for me!
Thank you and God bless,
Alex

David,
I'm not going to waste my time debating over this... I don't care about why they didn't 'run for the hills for safety' knowing that 'white-skinned bearded gods' would come and conquer them-I only care about the fact that they did accurately predict it. And besides, as if they would have been safer on the hills. ::)
Alex,
Everyone who has studied the Mayan's calendar, and their history knows what they accurately predicted, and you're telling me to 'go study'?
I never said the world is going to end for sure, on Dec 21st, 2012...only that something is going to happen on that date. And the sun alignment is scientifically proven. Also, I don't know what History Channel documentary you saw, but the one I saw even said they
predicted the 'white -skinned bearded gods' and the sun.
So whatever, go argue with them-I'm done with this. It's futile discussing things with people who deny everything because it doesn't say so in their bibles.
Peace,
Sorin
