Indeed, and that scenario is becoming a near future possibility. Quakes in Haiti, Chili & China in the span of months, while the seismic activities under Yellowstone are increasing. Not to mention that Yellowstone's super volcano is already 40.000 years overdue for it's next global extermination eruption.
That sucker might just go off in 2012, so grab any Maya's you can find for ever so minor guidance!

Being 40,000 years overdue is somewhat of a myth. Not much science to back that up. A super volcano will erupt soon, but that could be in earth time not in human time.
If it does erupt, you'll hear it. The WHOLE world will hear it. That's how loud and powerful it is.
Besides, a volcano doesn't have to be "overdue" to erupt. It's ALL about conditions.

and the planets will actually allign on that date.
but im not saying the worrl would end but its possible
Scientists do not, nor can they, expect a solar flare in 2012. Solar flares are more unpredictable then the weather. That would be like predicting a storm two years from now. That is not going to happen.
As far as the planet aligning; The center of the Milky-way is so far away that the gravitational field of the galaxy would not change if the Earth and sun align with it's center. There would be a greater gravitational change if all the planets align, and the last time that happened, there was no effect.
The world could end today, that is also a possibility.
look guys, the world is obviously going to end in our lifetime
I mean, look at how important we are, obviously we are destined to see the end of the entire human race, you know, in civilizations 30 000 years, of course it makes sense that we will all die now, you know, while we, the important ones, are still alive.

the solar max is predicted to be 2011 or 2012

The solar max is quite a different matter then someone saying that a solar flair will take place, that will destroy the Earth. The last solar max did not destroy the Earth, or did it?

Just like 1958! Remember how the whole of the human race was eradicated back then? Crazy I know, it almost seems like it didn't happen.

isnt the solar max is the time a large solar flare is most possible?
it doesnt mean it will happen, 1958 or what ever was the max but the flare didnt happen...
Let's put it this way. The time from maximum to maximum is 9-14 years, let's call that 15 years.
Early humans appeared about 50000 years ago.
This means that there have been well over 3333 solar maximums. Of those only six killed all life on the planet.
Oh? What's that? You say none of them killed all life on the planet?
Well then . . .
Deseret News Published: Friday, April 16, 2010 9:30 p.m. MDT Large earthquakes — above 4 on the Richter Scale — are occurring in Utah at about a normal rate, but geologists say it seems much higher. Thursday evening's quake on the Utah/Wyoming border is number 27 so far this year in Utah. That one near Randolph was one of the strongest in the state in 75 years, according to seismic station reports, the U.S. Geological Survey and professional quake watchers. Although there was little to no damage Thursday at the surface of the epicenter, some 77 miles northeast of Salt Lake City, that doesn't mean that it wasn't geologically significant. If the current pace continues, more than 90 significant earthquakes will occur by the end of the year. Between April of last year and now, there were 80 large earthquakes, according to the USGS, which is quick to point out quakes are just part of the natural give and take in the supporting land mass miles below Utah's surface. Whenever there is a seismic event in the Mountain West, it's a pretty good bet the Yellowstone National Park caldera is involved. It is a still-active volcano and massive slab of fractured fault-split of land centered in Wyoming. It is one of the most volatile sections of land in the western hemisphere, and seismic activity there has been so common in the past two years, scientists are wondering if quakes like the one Thursday are portending "the big one" of a different sort — not a massive earthquake, but a volcanic eruption in Yellowstone that would make the Mt. St.Helens's eruption in Washington look like a a postprandial burp. Scientists believe the crust beneath Yellowstone is highly fractured, and that the stress of other recent earthquakes on the region is a cogent warning of devastating shifts to come. "So, we're getting stress release in these earthquakes and displacement of just millimeters," said Robert Smith, a geophysicist at the University of Utah. The earth is always in motion and plates slip and shift under the constant pressure deep below the surface, said Smith. What is causing the recent spate of seismic shudders can't be known, he said, but he believes they might be spawned by magma building up just below the surface of the land. So, along with fueling the famous geysers, it may be setting off tremors throughout the region.
More news on Yellowstone and possible link to recent Utah earthquakes. Yikes.
