...later researchers said that, while the end of the 13th b'ak'tun would perhaps be a cause for celebration, it did not mark the end of the calendar. "There is nothing in the Maya or Aztec or ancient Mesoamerican prophecy to suggest that they prophesied a sudden or major change of any sort in 2012," said Mayanist scholar Mark Van Stone. "The notion of a "Great Cycle" coming to an end is completely a modern invention." In 1990, Mayanist scholars Linda Schele and David Freidel argued that the Maya "did not conceive this to be the end of creation, as many have suggested." Susan Milbrath, curator of Latin American Art and Archaeology at the Florida Museum of Natural History, stated that "We have no record or knowledge that [the Maya] would think the world would come to an end" in 2012. For the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle," said Sandra Noble, executive director of the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies. The 2012 phenomenon, she said, is "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in." "There will be another cycle," said E. Wyllys Andrews V, director of the Tulane University Middle American Research Institute. "We know the Maya thought there was one before this, and that implies they were comfortable with the idea of another one after this."

my friend came up with a reason why people think the world is going to end on 2012: the mayans got bored of making a calendear

The idea is as idiotic as the idea that the Bible is 100% correct.

The bible is based on metaphorical intrepretation.
People who use the bible and religion to back up the theory of 2012, are incorrect.
If the end of the world is deemed as horrific natural disasters before the return of Christ, surely our scientists would notice something out of place.

I dont believe in 2012 because there is not much evidence of the mayan claim and even if it happens, God is there for all of us.

Ya leave it to the scientist, They say the earth is a different age every year. Which actually if you put it together, is aging 43.6 million years every year. so obviously we cant depend on science for everything. but they have proven that we all came from 2 beings, which happens to be in the bible.

Of course not, those are only mayan myths. Their calendar is extremely precise, but myths are myths.

God is there for all of us.

Sorry, but your god is also a myth :/

but they have proven that we all came from 2 beings, which happens to be in the bible.

..wut?

That made no sense. Either this is sarcasm or you don't know what a scientist is.

Well it does get one year older every year.

Random number from nowhere ftw.

Actually no, they didn't. What they did prove is that a long time ago the human population dropped to extremely low levels, not two people but something like a few hundred scattered about.
