This concept is born out of a fear of the "other" theories, which are substantially more gloomy. What you have witnessed is the birth of an
organized religion. While it may not seem that way, this is exactly how religion comes to be. People fear something, so they invent something to
give themselves hope. When we cant explain something, or can't develop an understanding of some concept, we invent our own explanations to make
ourselves feel better. Generations pass, and science advances enough to explain many things that went un-explained for eons, yet we still cling to
the explanations given by some schmuck in a dress reading from a book. Forgive me for my jaded tone, but it's the same story with different
characters.
Here's the thing, nobody knows what, if anything is going to happen on 12/21/2012. Maybe we'll all be enlightened, maybe we'll all be vaporized by
cosmic rays. Perhaps Scotty will beam us up, or maybe a Mayan king will return to reclaim his empire. Maybe, just maybe, we'll wake up and go to
work, do our part, go home, succumb to a vice or two, and go to sleep.
