The Bible says that nobody can predict the end of the world, and it will come when people least expect it. But then again, as a deist(one who believes in a god who does not interfere with the world directly, but rather automates the world through science) I reject biblical texts, and so I believe it's a bit of rubbish.
science is only proving religion, it isn't denying it
Actually the Bible does not say the world will end on that day the Mayan calendar does.
And actually the Mayan calendar does not say the world will end on that day but a significant event that will change the world will happen on that day. The day that the Mayan calendar says the world will end is sometime around the year of 3620. Who knows what will happen on this exact date though, we will just have to wait and see. The Mayans believed the same events occur again and again throughout time, that is that time is sort of 'revolving.' Some experts believe that the Mayans predicted certain world events that have happened so far, though the wording of these events is sketchy. We may not be able to predict the end of the world but one thing is for sure, we can end this world. QUOTE We may not be able to predict the end of the world but one thing is for sure, we can end this world. We are.. Nuclear waste is everywhere.. and we are destroying the forest.. we will run out of air -.-
the bible is rubbish, therefor this statement is pure bullock.
there is no possible way of telling the future of a world, even so far ahead QUOTE(csp4.0 @ Apr 16 2007, 11:06 PM)  science is only proving religion, it isn't denying it The bible is 1 part historical text, 1 part rubbish. We can prove many things that happened in the bible - such as Roman methods of execution. However, parts in which God is mentioned can be not proven to have truly occured. These could be anything from psychological hallucinations, to wild stories distorted over the years before they were written in text, to people just trying to keep a hoax alive. Of course, I'm just stating possibilities that aren't that far out there.
It just depends on religion. If you believe in the supernatural, then you may deem this to be true. But if you think scientifically (like Tetraca), then this is very unlikely to be true. The "logical" answer to this is no (not that I'm insulting anyone's religion). Even though I'm Christian, I doubt this would be the date.
QUOTE According to the Maya, there will be a baktun ending in 2012, a significant event being the end of the 13th 400 year period, but not the end of the world http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayan_Calenda...oncepts_of_time Well, I'm not so sure about this one. I was very angry after having prepared for the world to end on the 6th June last year and finding out that nothing had happened. Although, you never know. Can you find proof that that's what the Bible says and then maybe I'll consider preparing for the end of the world again?..
Teh bible never predicted a date jus the fact that once the secen seals are broken the 4 horsemen of the apocolypse would come and satan would be free. I can't remember where when I heard it but I believe somewhere in the Christian Mythology that a date was made, but I am not sure on that.
But with the Mayans that is just straight spooky right there, On the history channel they alk about how one of the temples has 4 sets of 90 steps and at the peak equals 365 and on that same temple the image of a snake is seen coming from the temple into the ground. I can't remember the story that went with the snake, but to think the Mayans had the most advance calenders but most likely every apocolypse nut will be prepared for something to happen, but like most dates I really doubt anything will happen except for the ritual suicides and what not. But we got 5 years to go till it happens so all we can do is wait and see. Latest Entries
One thing i have noticed is abusing of one another though not much but still it definitely felt here.
Well i'd say that the bible has 2 parts Old testament and New testament Old testament has the revelations of previous prophets New testament basically has Gospels A gospel is nothing but a biography of Jesus (pbuh) When the time had come to decide which gospels to select there was a huge uproar. Many gospels contradicted each other. A french council later selected 4 congruous gospels on god knows what basis & put them together. Further there are many versions of the bible and a text which appears in one doesn't appear in the other. So to say that the predictions in the bible are true will be highly difficult. Regarding mayan concept of time i would say that though they were ahead of their times but still nobody can predict the end of world. Science tells us that the resources are depleting at an exponential rate. My mind tells me(after seeing Al gore's documentary) that the end is not very far away... Hardly say 100-150 years
I don't really believe the world will end in december 21. This is probably like the end of the world that was supposed to come by the year 2000....and nothing really happened. I mean sure the mayan calendar ends at that date...but who cares?? it's not like the mayans were gods or something. Anyways i've heard these kinds of predictions quite often and nothing happens in the end. And nothing will happen on december as well. We'll just go on with our normal lives and i'll probably post a topic on december 22.

QUOTE(-Sky- @ Sep 2 2008, 03:08 PM) No way. I don't think our world will explode MichaelA8. However, it may be possible in another thousand years, maybe billion years. 2012 I think will still be going on but everything might be more of a future electronic world, like in IRobot.  Chicago I think it was, was all futuristic then our time now.1012, 4 years time? I really doubt it will be the end of the world in 4 years time.  Even if this "end of the world" thing really did happen, it most probably would happen at night time, not in the daytime.And wow, if it really did happen at day/night time, I'd be scared.  -Sky Edit: Fix a spelling mistake Sky, I agree. No BOOM! Hopefully the date represents a shift of thinking on a world-wide level. I know that once we accept that we're all of the one, things will change. It's the end of the world as we know it, I feel fine! ~Michael
