About Those Millions Of People (Maybe Billions) Who think The World Is Going To End

I Have read that 1 in 10 people believe the world May end in december.

Not that all of them positively believe it, but think it Might Happen.

Ive personally asked tons of people myself and 50/50 say it may end.

Question.

When the world doesnt end, Are you going to brag in those peoples faces saying "I told you so you f*cking moron"?
Will there be more of these "End of the world dates" in the future?

2. What If It Suddenly Became Apparent That All That Stuff About 2012 Was True?

If every layman in the world believed it but not a single relevant expert did (and none do) it would still be bullshit.

To your first question: no. But then I don't really have contact with people who believe in the 2012 Doomsday.

To your second question: the only thing that would make it apparent that the 2012 Doomsday hypothesis was correct would be the sudden end of the world, in which case it wouldn't matter what anyone thinks because the world would end.

What would be your reaction though?

Also, how many familys do you think are taking precautions "just in case"?

i hope it will be the rapture. isnt that supposed to be when all the bible thumpers float up into the sky and disappear? oh please yes

ALL of that stuff?

So Earth is about to be hit by a star and an asteroid and the planet Nibiru while the alignment with the center of the galaxy blasts us with deadly cosmic radiation while the magnetosphere vanishes just as time collapses into a singularity that causes everything that has happened, will happen, and could happen to occur simultaneously?

I imagine I'll be too busy working with UNATCO to stop the alien invasion that to notice any of it.

"End of the World" prophecies have been there since time immemorial.Tbh, even after we pass on into the next year, I don't see this tired old eschatological schtick of the human race coming to an end.

What factors, other. than an extinct ancient people saying so, are there to indicate the world will end next month? I guess an asteroid or comet, that astronomers haven't seen could strike. Or maybe the Yellowstone volcano could go off, or aliens invade, or Corporate America could actually care about something other than executive salaries and bonuses, etc Personally, I'm planning on being here Dec 21

The thing is that according to pretty much all Mayan experts the Mayans didn't claim that Dec 21, 2012 would be the end of the world--just the start of a new era.

Link to what you've read?

Approximately how many are "tons of people" that you've questioned?

thats alot of stuff, I didnt know that many things are supposed to happen

Yes. No matter how the world happens to end most of these "prophets" will be wrong.

if the sun does fire a gamma burst...it will fire it in almost direction randomly...thats too many directions the odds of it hitting us is so very low...our biggest concern is if that burst hits Jupiter...scentists say it has the potiential to become another star...Asteroids on the other hand will need to deal the other planets before getting to earth...also on a side note Mathmaticly speaking...how much oxygen do trees produce?

Where are these people? I seriously don't know a single person who is dumb enough to think that, nor have I heard of anyone who is irl.

Also, where did you read 1 in 10? I'd be interested in the reference, and also in how the question was posed. Of course it "might" end. It might end any day. Depending on how the question is presented, anyone with some linguistic pride about them might have had to answer "yes" to it.

Lots of "end of the world" parties and shows though. Nice excuse to drink.

As for your #2, I really don't see the point behind most of your hypotheticals. What if it's true? Then the world ends and we die. Duh.

forget his post...read mine above

The guy who made all this crap up about the Mayans, unless I'm mistaken, has almost the same background and education as the guy who wrote Chariots of the Gods?
