DOOMSDAY 2012


It is widely known that the Mayans and Nostradamus predicted the world will end on December 21, 2012. It is likewise said that these events will be caused by the following:          


1. Earth is going to get hit by a giant planet.
·  2. The sun will flare up and poison the earth.

However now scientists say that the 2012 doomsday prophecy is a hoax, and there is plenty of scientific evidence that the world will not end in 2012.

The Maya did not predict the end of the world (their calendar simply reaches the end of a cycle, and the Mayan civilization disappeared before they needed a calendar for the next cycle). Earth is not going to get hit by a giant planet (if it were, we would have seen it by now, and its gravity would be affecting the orbits of everything else in the solar system). The sun will not line up with the center of the Milky Way (it cannot happen; the center of the galaxy is in the wrong part of the sky). The planets are not going to align (it is physically impossible; and even if they could, their combined gravity would not be enough to disrupt anything on earth). The earth's poles will not abruptly reverse (the geographic poles cannot reverse; the magnetic poles can, but it takes thousands of years). The sun will not flare up and poison the earth (it goes through regular 11-year cycles of solar flare activity, and 2012 is just another peak). Nostradamus did not give any specific dates for anything.

The most interesting astronomical events in 2012 will be an annular eclipse of the Sun on 2012 May 20, a total eclipse of the Sun on 2012 Nov 13, and a transit of the planet Venus across the face of the Sun on 2012 Jun 06.

Scientists do not expect anything out of the ordinary to happen in the year 2012, or specifically on the date December 23 or 21, except for the solstice, which happens every year.

Scholars from various disciplines have dismissed the idea of such cataclysmic events occurring in 2012. Professional Mayanist scholars state that predictions of impending doom are not found in any of the extant classic Maya accounts, and that the idea that the Long Count calendar "ends" in 2012 misrepresents Maya history and culture. Astronomers and other scientists have rejected the proposed events as pseudoscience, stating that they are contradicted by simple astronomical observations.

These predictions can however be supported by natural disasters that have been occurring worldwide recently, such as floods, landslides, earthquakes, volcano eruptions, typhoons, hurricanes and torrential rains that have been increasing in frequency.  Please note that these events cannot possibly be caused by solar or interplanetary movements. These can be traced to mankind’s irresponsible exploitation of earth’s resources, man’s greed that have triggered climate change.

Since man was the culprit in damaging the earth, man has the capacity to reverse this trend. This, however, cannot happen without the united selfless work of all countries of the world. Remember that the earth started to be damaged when nations unabashedly tried to beat one another in going after earth’s limited natural resources.

The crux of the matter now is – how do we get all nations to work with a single purpose. The United Nations cannot do this. Perhaps the “United Churches” can, because the only way to do this is to seek Divine Direction.
