yes it's stupid, it is just the end of an age, and a new age starts!. there is no end of the world in Dec 2012!. if people bothered to just read about it, there wouldn't be so many stupid questions on here about 2012 and the end of the world!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would call it silly if so many people were not getting scared about it!.

One of several Mayan calendars is the Long Count calendar, which is reset to day 0 every 1,872,000 days or 7057!.5 years!. The next reset date, by some calculations, is December 21, 2012!. This is not a prediction of the end of the world!.

Ever since the Y2K and 6/6/6 (June 6, 2006) End of the World scenarios did not pan out, the scare mongers have been touting the 2012 End of the World scenario!. When 2012 does not happen either, I am sure they will think of something else!.

"But of that day or hour, no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father!. Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come!." (Mark 13:32-33)

Jesus told us in no uncertain terms that we were not to know when the end of the world would come but that we were always to be ready!.

The early Christian Church thought that Jesus was going to return at any moment!. Only after a couple of centuries did the Church realize that it may be 2,000 or 4,000 or 8,000 years before Jesus returns!.

The Catholic Church wisely follows Jesus' advice and teaches that each of us should live as if we will meet our maker in the next ten minutes and that we need to work to make the world a better place for our 100 X great-grandchildren!.

Do not worry about the end of the world!. Trust God to make sure everything happens to plan!. Just be ready to meet God at any time!.

We just don't know when the earth will end!. Science is always changing, a good clue to us that we can't depend on it!. Look to the Bible and God with any questions you have!. It gives clues, but there is no way to know for sure!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It don't sound stupid but I don't believe the world is going to end anytime soon, they are predicting it but people can't predict worth a **** these days!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Read "The Orion Prophecy" by Patrick Jerrol and then get back to me on whether the 2012 prediction is stupid!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
