2012 End of World?

The Mayans didn't just run out of stone or got bored, the calendar they crested is complete as they plabbed it. It is designed with a very complex system and ends in our 2012. But this is not the end of the world. With anyone with a brain can see, their system is cyclical and so the cycle starts over, but in a new way. So we don't have the end of the world but a new beginning.

I'm going to give a pity flag. 8 years, 40 pages, and 700+ replies with only 9 flags? Thats a disgrace.

The end of the world is to come and is at hand.That is true.The exact date is not known.Let us just be prepared.

While there are SO many 2012 based theories (Ascension, Doomsday theories, Mayan Calender theories, New Age, Science)..

I can't help but fall for believing in it, so I try to look at the most positive theory possible and am currently resonating with the Ascension theory the most.

The earth is billions of years old right?
Through out history numerous great civilizations have vanished off the face of the earth without trace...
Even the dinosaurs dissappeared pretty quickly right? i know we're told it was due to an meteor hitting the earth, but what that wasnt what happened?

What if all through out history.. periodically something happens, something so big and powerful that it totally wipes civilization out.

Now i'm athiest, but i instantly think to the great flood in the bible, what if the mayans were far more advanced than we give them credit for? what if their calendar is a kind of warning left by the few survivors as a warning to future civilizations... kind of a count down to the next time this big event happens.
