I'm learning more about 2012 right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is: Should we as a society, put our beliefs into Mayan predictions, or should we believe Scientists just because they have information to back up their facts?I was researching this question online, and this blog post caught my attention because it speaks about the reality of science and whether or not we should believe in it. It also speaks about the Mayan calender. This specific source sparked my interest because lately, with Hollywood coming out with new movies about 2012, the thought of the world coming to end has constantly been bothering me. I had a strong urge to find out the truth. "The Mayan calendar does not end in December 2012. Just as the calendar you have on your kitchen wall does not cease to exist after December 31, the Mayan calendar does not cease to exist on December 21, 2012. This date is the end of the Mayan long-count period, but then - just as your calendar begins again on January 1 - another long-count period begins for the Mayan calendar." The quote I chose here basically tries to persuade us by saying that the Mayan Calender ending on the year 2012 is a hoax. The author of this posts believes that even after the calender ends, just like any of the calenders that we have at home, it will start itself new again. I think this is very captivating because it makes me really wonder. It makes me wonder about all remarks people are making, what society thinks about this, and if there are any evidence that are being hidden from society. I hope as we go further into the years, scientists will dig out more information to support the theory so when the day comes, I won't have to hide under my bed and panic.

It seems as if people are using the Mayan's predictions as an excuse to declare the end of the world, which is on December 21, 2012. Lately, I've been doing a lot of research on 2012, after watching the movie, and what I've dug out was that the Mayans didn't say anything about the end of the world. Their predictions simply stated that it December 21, 2012 was the end of their calender. The Mayans, who have been accurate in their past predictions, believe strongly on the the worlds cycle. They beileve that just like any other calender, after one ends, another begins. Society has been brain washed by media's attempt to brain wash us by using Mayan predictions and scrambling them up to scare us. I'm actually very glad that I did research, or else I would've fallen into the same category as everyone else.

As I was searching for blogs about the 2012 Apocalypse, this site showed up. In this article, the Mayans are being blamed for "making the world end." There is no reason for the Mayans to be blamed for killing the human race and the world itself because all they did was prophesize and write down theories. In my opinion, don't hate one human race for killing the world that has already been to blame. At least this is what I am getting from the title itself.

This world is left with nothing but question's and the craziest part about it is when it happen's it happen's so there's the answer towards things , to my eyes when it happen's it happen's. As of right now were left with question's no answer.

the world is not going to end how it is portrayed in the movie, but by God.

I couldn't even imagine that the Modern Mayans are annoyed by the movie. Also, I want to know what is modern culture misinterpreting?

I guess we are so hyped up, that we forget about our present and won't fix it.
