Lol I checked the date and saw that we have 7 days until the apocalypse happens. Immediately I thought of The Ring.
I personally believe December 21st isn't going to happen. There's just too many facts that contradict what the Mayans believe. The Mayans didn't have leap years. Their Decmeber 21st was like sometime last year, I believe.
The story started with claims that Nibiru, a supposed planet discovered by the Sumerians, is headed toward Earth. This catastrophe was initially predicted for May 2003, but when nothing happened the doomsday date was moved forward to December 2012 and linked to the end of one of the cycles in the ancient Mayan calendar at the winter solstice in 2012. Hence the predicted doomsday date of December 21, 2012.
Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an Internet hoax. There is no factual basis for these claims. If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth in 2012, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist. Eris is real, but it is a dwarf planet similar to Pluto that will remain in the outer solar system; the closest it can come to Earth is about 4 billion miles.
There are no planetary alignments in the next few decades and even if these alignments were to occur, their effects on the Earth would be negligible. One major alignment occurred in 1962, for example, and two others happened during 1982 and 2000. Each December the Earth and sun align with the approximate center of the Milky Way Galaxy but that is an annual event of no consequence.
The Earth has always been subject to impacts by comets and asteroids, although big hits are very rare. The last big impact was 65 million years ago, and that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Today NASA astronomers are carrying out a survey called the Spaceguard Survey to find any large near-Earth asteroids long before they hit. We have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs. All this work is done openly with the discoveries posted every day on the NASA Near-Earth Object Program Office website, so you can see for yourself that nothing is predicted to hit in 2012.
If you follow the Catholic/Christian beliefs and have read the Bible, reread Mark 13: 23-33. He states that NO ONE, not even the angels nor the son will know when Judgement Day will arrive. Only The father (God) will know. So We are to just be on alert.
These are just a few reasons why I don't believe we're in any danger. There's really no need to worry. Of course, this is my opinion and my own beliefs. Yes, I am Catholic and I do believe in God. I strongly stand next to the bible reference I posted. And just so you know, No, I am not here to say this is all true and you should follow it. If you do not believe in God that's on you. I'm just spreading my own personal opinions as to why I really don't think this will happen.
I hope you all have a great 7 days, an Happy Christmas and an Awesome New Year ^^.
