is december 21 2012 the end of the world
Is it true that the world will end December 21 2012?
I just watched this video on youtube which kinda creeped me out. It basically explained the whole Mayan Calendar theory, and that many people have predicted this to be the end of the world. Is there any proof that it is true?
No, it won't. Don't believe what you see on YouTube. Anyone can put whatever they want on YouTube. There is no validity to these claims.
The claims are based on the end of the current cycle of the Mayan long count calendar. Their calendar was done in ages or cycles and their years ended at the winter solstice. The current cycle ends December 21, 2012. They didn’t predict the end of the world, only the end of that cycle.
There is no actual scientific theory or evidence that anything unusual is going to happen in 2012. It is a collection of myths and disproven theories being promulgated by doomsday predictors, who predict a new one every few years.
Nibiru (Planet X) doesn't exist. Zecharia Sitchin is not a scientist, but is an author of books promoting the ancient astronaut theory for human origins. He attributes the creation of the ancient Sumerian culture to the Annunaki (or Nephilim) from a hypothetical planet named Nibiru in the solar system. The Doomsayers predicted that it was to hit Earth in 2003. Undaunted when it didn't show up, they just moved it out to 2012 to coincide with the end of the current cycle of the Mayan calendar.
Alignment of Solar System with galactic plane – There is no galactic alignment occurring in 2012. It takes 36 years to precess through galactic equator, and we will be 6 degrees off in 2012. Even if we did have an alignment, it would have no effect on us. The vast distances involved outweigh the effects of gravity.
Planetary alignment – it is impossible for all the planets to form a straight line out from the Sun (or viewed superimposed on each other in the sky) because each planetary orbit is tilted slightly with respect to the Earth's orbit. John Gribbin in the late 1970's book The Jupiter Effect predicted the end of the world would occur in 1983 due a once in a millennium planetary alignment. The 1983 event was ALL the other planets lined up as seen in our view of the sky -- not in a straight line as most people would misinterpret with the term alignment. In 1999, The Survival Center had claimed the destruction of the Earth to occur in May 2000 due to the "planetary alignment."
Asteroid Apophis - the 2001 alert was for 2029, and was canceled after additional observations showed it would not hit us.
Geomagnetic reversal - These reversals of the magnetic field have occurred in the past, as shown by magnetic striping, but we can’t predict when they will occur again. However, the time between reversals is not constant, varying from less than 100,000 years, to tens of millions of years.
Although fast by geological standards, reversals are by no means quick on the human time scale. They take roughly 5,000 years, with estimates ranging from 1,000 years to 8,000 years.
Homo Erectus and their ancestors survived previous reversals. There is no evidence of any extinctions resulting from these reversals. Although the inspection of past reversals does not indicate biological extinctions, present society with its reliance on electricity and electromagnetic effects (e.g. radio, satellite communications) may be vulnerable to technological disruptions in the event of a full field reversal.
Photon belt - We are not heading for a photon belt in the Pleiades. The earth isn't heading toward the Pleiades but away from them. In the 1850s it was conjectured that the earth orbited the Pleiades, but this has long since been discredited. No photon belt or other such region of increased energy has been discovered. Photons in any case are merely particles of electromagnetic energy, which we commonly experience as light. Upon exposure to excess photons the most common transformation of your being is sunburn.
Solar flares – These do increase and decrease in an eleven year cycle. They haven't caused any serious problems in the past. The direct effects of solar flares are mainly related to communications and radio transmissions. We had a major series of solar flares in 2005.

December 21 2012 the END? (Part 2 of 6).
December 21, 2012 Rapture?
The religious community is usually fast to jump on anything that smacks of an END TIME. And of course to frame any destruction around the judgment of God is an automatic default position. So, think it not strange that December 21, 2012 will be increasingly looked upon and written as the Coming Rapture. Why not 2012? How many hundreds of other dates have been predicted as a rapture date already?
Maybe a new release of "Left Behind" can be issued with a prologue or added chapter. Hey, the series sold millions of copies. Let's build on that success. NOT!
Since the earth is 4-5 billion years old it would appear to the logical mind that God, or whomever you want to call the Great One who designed the universe, isn't in any hurry to work things out here on planet earth. I simply find it hard to accept the picture wherein in an instant, we see a pile of clothes on the ground which our neighbor once wore, but is no longer there since he was raptured. I guess that's scary since I'm the one still here awaiting tribulation or whatever.
Would you believe an electromagnetic radiation pulse that burns the skin off my bones? 
No, I believe the "show must go on". The world is not going to ever end. Why would it? What would be the point or purpose of that? But, that the world will continue past 2012 in a heightened awareness or consciousness seems viable to me. But some sort of religious rapture is truly a 2012 Final Fantasy.
For the intuitive readers of the historical Jesus who became the Christos, there's obvious language about spiritual ages. So, when Jesus spoke of the "end of an age", it wasn't the end of earth: even a reading of Isaiah 65 and 66 tells us of a NEW EARTH- even a NEW HEAVEN. And therein is what I truly believe we're going to see- a new spiritual age developing. It's in the process of happening now and it's more closely related to a proper understanding of the writings of the Mayans, Hopi Indians, and others.
The only rapture that religious fundamentalists (of any stripe) are going to see is an individual rapture as they transition from here to there- not a corporate rapture.
About the Author
As a spiritual-futurist, I interpret current events in light of possible macro-universal forces at play leading up to 2012, but not limited to it.
