This is not just another thread based on the authors opinion but stuff gained from sources.
First off, notice how pretty much all the sites claiming that the world will end in 2012 want you to either buy dvd's from them or books or t shirts? Notice how unprofessional some of these sites look? Notice how they got ads, example Google ads so if you click on them, they earn more money? All these sites are part of the 2012 business, they are using the 2012 topic to take your money! And the ones with the clearly amateur looking sites are clearly not the kind of people you should be listening to on such a subject. Should you listen to me? Well you don't have to, however, notice that sites that say the world won't end in 2012 include sites from actual scientists and such and how they're not asking for your money and how it actually is a professional looking site? Well these are where my sources have come from, so listen to me, from them
THE MAYAN CALENDAR
The 13th Baktun ends on the 21/12/2012 (in case anyone thinks I wrote that date wrong, I'm from Australia and we write the day the month then year) Quite true indeed. Does this mean the world will end on that date? NO. Why not, how would I know?
Here's something that all these money making websites don't tell you and that many of you, probably all don't even know. There are dates on the Mayan calender that go to the year 4772 on the Gregorian Calendar (our 365 day a year calendar) that is nearly 3,000 years away! Why don't any of these doomsday sites mention this date? It's simple, because if they do, they know that people will think "well if there's dates from nearly 3,000 years away then the world isn't ending in 2012, I'm not gonna buy a dvd from this site telling me the world will end in 2012 when the calendar continues for so much longer".
The date to be exact is October 21st, 4772. So as you may have seen on some other sites, the Mayan calendar simply starts again and rolls on into it's next cycle (a certain amount of baktuns fit into 1 piktun) just like how 2008 just finished and rolled into 2009. This date in 4772 also happens to be a very significant date for Mayans. A Mayan King (or something like a King) "Pacal The Great" who died around 1.5 thousand years ago actually predicted that this date will the be the the 80th calendar round since he became the king/leader of a Mayan group. he said this so long ago, when Mayans would've known a lot more about 2012 than what we do now and he never mentioned anything about the world ending in 2012, just this anniversary on October 21st, 4772.
THE BIBLE CODE
I can't believe how anyone believers in the so called "Bible Code".
Firstly, in the Bible Jesus clearly says that no man, none of the Angels in Heaven and not even Jesus himself knows when the end will come, only God knows. Now who would you believe, Jesus, or some person making money off books from a so called code?
The Bible code is worked out by a computer system, you can type in anything and any type of pattern will come up with words regarding to whatever event you typed in.
The things that the Bible code has gotten "right" are things that everyone knew had happened, things from years ago, there are called post dictions, opposite to predictions, for people to believe that is just well :/
The Bible code predicted that there would be a massive nuclear war from the end of 2005 to the end of 2006. One of many predictions that has never happened..........
here is a quick video from an Australian TV show which COMPLETELY debunks the bible code, they even get "codes" from the lyrics off a vanilla ice song HAHAHAHA -
