People have been predicting the end of the world for a long time. I saw a special of it on the History channel,and they have all been proven wrong. I remember back in 99,I was so scared. But nothing happend! Now with the hype of the new film 2012,its got me wondering again. I mean,doesnt it say in the bible that earth will always exsist. In my opinion,I dont think the world will be ending anytime soon. Whats ur opinion?

No one can predict if it will really happen.

Just have your space suit ready for a trip to Mars

I doubt it. I for one would be in denial till it was too late. Cause I don't believe that it will be in 2012.
Or in my lifetime for that much. So if the world goes down. I'm gonna be really surprised.
But by then it would be too late for any of that. I'm not convinced on 2012.

Who knows? Nothing is promised but right now.

the church around the corner has a big billboard outside it advertising an "end time conference"

That's not the end of the earth, it's meant to convey the last days before Christ's return.

But any good Christian who knows their Bible knows that even after Christ returns, the world, the earth, or whatever, doesn't cease to exist. Paul said, "And I saw a NEW heaven and a NEW EARTH". This whole "the world is ending" thing is ridiculous. What happens to everything once the earth blows up and all life ceases to exist? It's preposterous, and I hate when Christian's don't realize the truth (and the lie) of it all.

the 2012 thing comes from the end of the Mayan calender. any real look at it will tell you that it means nothing.

hell, i just looked up 2012 on wikipedia and even real Mayans don't put any stock in it.

if you only need to do a search on wikipedia to debunk it, then there's not much to it.

You mean, just like the world was supposed to end at the year 2000? And after 9/11?

I can only hope.

yup, no more lotusflow3r annual fees

I dont think the world will end but in 2012 I will have library books that will be 25 years overdue

They predicted the end of the world over 20 years ago
And I'm still waiting

I hope not... Rutgers gave me until 2012 to finish my Dissertation. I do all this work and

I know. My grandmother said that they have been saying the same thing since the 40s, and people are still waiting.

Well if it does, then at least I'll go out while I'm still relatively young and looking ok. But then, I guess no one else will be around to appreciate that anyway.

i hope so. enough already...

The sun will die and the world will end in around 6 billion years time (thats about 4 minutes in creationist time).

Yes. I find that fact somewhat discomforting. Not scary or anything, since it's obviously a long ass time away and who knows what happens until then, but earth (and therefore most likely mankind as well) does not have an infinite future.

But all this "the world ends in year x" is a bunch of crap. It would be totally hilarious if there weren't a bunch of idiots every now and then that kill themselves and their children everytime a damn asteroid comes "close".

I think that since I've been alive I've heard the world is going to end at least 20 times.

Phishanga said:

You can even think beyond that--one trillion years from now, the very last star in the universe will burn out. (This fact from a magazine article I read about a year ago.)

Well, the Mayan civilization ended much earlier, so I don't necessarily place much stock in it.

The Earth will not always exist, but it will exist for a long time after WE will exist! Even if we're hit by an enormous meteor and no life exists on earth, the earth itself will probably be around until the sun dies.
