weren't there loads of other dates people thought would be the end of the world

not quite so large scale, but i remember the "millenium bug" was supposed to confuse all the cash machines in the world, and because they would be confused and not know its mid night, they would all spill all their money out

it didnt happen

i dont think this world will ever be totally distroyed anyway, untill the sun goes super-nova (then we all frazzel, but not in my life time) simply because it regenerates, it lives on, it survives! and i believe this to be one of gods greatest blessings (second only to christ and free will though)

The whole millenium bug was a weak theory that a couple computer experts spawned and the media inflated to giant proportions, gaining international attention.

The scary thing about the "world-ending-in-2012-theory" is that the end date on the Mayan Calandar is very specific. The fact that the Mayans were extremely gifted and skilled in Astronomy and math sure doesn't help in discrediting the theory as a whole. C mon! We're talking about the Mayans here - the same civilization that predicted every solar eclipses up-to-date and being off by a little overy 30 seconds each time.

Yes , but I don't recall the Mayans predicting the end of the world ? Their " long calendar " just rans out , as everything does sooner or later . It was their calendar that predicted the solar eclipses btw . There is no doubt that it is one of , if the the most accurate calendar ever created . But that doesn't make it a doom's day device of some type , it just makes it a very accurate calendar .
