People believe the world will end in 2012 because that is the day the mayan calendar ends. The mayans were a very intelegent civilization(1000's of years ago)that predicted several disasters that have actually happened. For example, hurricane katrina. Because they were so accurate many people believe that if they could look into the future and predict this and all the other stuff they predicted, then they would be right when they said the world will come to an end.

Also scientists have prooven that polar shift will happen in the next 10 years. This could cause several super natural disasters that can kill many in the zones of them. (This theory seems more likely then the mayans!)
Anyways I have a hard time believing all this as well. But this is why they think this. Hope this helps!
