Post subject: | New Year's |
So... it's almost the new year. I just have one question for everyone. How many of us believe that this will be the end of the world? Since the Mayans say that it will all end on December 21, 2012. I just thought that I would throw that out there. I do hope that everyone will have a Happy New Year and may God help us if this our last year. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! |

Well, many people have tried to predict the end of the world and they've all been wrong so far. I don't think we have anything to be worried about Anyway, happy New Year! |

I'm not worried. Every time you turn around there is always someone saying that the world will end on such and such date. I believe that the day when it does finally come to the end that we will have no warning. It will just happen and that will be the end of life as we know it. |

Nuts have been predicting the end of the world for millenia. I'm not any more afraid of December 2012 than I was of January 1, 2000--it's pretty much the same thing, some numbers rolling over on the calendar. Consider today's dates from isotropic.org: Quote: Gregorian: Sunday, 1 January 2012 Mayan: Long count = 12.19.19.0.5; tzolkin = 13 Chicchan; haab = 13 Kankin French: 12 Nivôse an 220 de la Révolution Islamic: 6 Safar 1433 Hebrew: 6 Teveth 5772 Julian: 19 December 2011 ISO: Day 7 of week 52 of 2011 Persian: 11 Dey 1390 Ethiopic: 22 Takhsas 2004 Coptic: 22 Kiyahk 1728 Chinese: Cycle 78, year 28 (Xin-Mao), month 12 (Xin-Chou), day 8 (Xin-You) Julian day: 2455928 Day of year: Day 1 of 2012; 365 days remaining in the year Discordian: Sweetmorn, Chaos 1, Year of Our Lady of Discord 3178 Now plug in January 1, 2013 Quote: Gregorian: Tuesday, 1 January 2013 Mayan: Long count = 13.0.0.0.11; tzolkin = 2 Chuen; haab = 14 Kankin French: 12 Nivôse an 221 de la Révolution Islamic: 18 Safar 1434 Hebrew: 19 Teveth 5773 Julian: 19 December 2012 ISO: Day 2 of week 1 of 2013 Persian: 12 Dey 1391 Ethiopic: 23 Takhsas 2005 Coptic: 23 Kiyahk 1729 Chinese: Cycle 78, year 29 (Ren-Chen), month 11 (Ren-Zi), day 20 (Ding-Mao) Julian day: 2456294 Day of year: Day 1 of 2013; 364 days remaining in the year Discordian: Sweetmorn, Chaos 1, Year of Our Lady of Discord 3179 Why look! The Mayan date is still there? It just starts with a 13 instead of a 12! Anyway, another cure for panic about the End of the World is to see how many times some crazy has predicted it.

I doubt it'll end, they probably just ran out of room on the stone tablet. But, I dunno, if it ends, it ends, and we won't know until it's here, so why worry? |
