    What is your take on December 21, 2012?

    I'm just curious to see how people feel about "the end of the world." Is it all a fact? Maybe a myth? Or maybe some government conspiracy? Give me your input on this topic!!

    I have to agree with a lot of the points in this hub - http://theholestory.hubpages.com/hub/Th … n-calendar Besides since we have leap days now then it may have already passed.

    this is something i found while researching about this. whats your feelings on this as well?

    " The current era (known to the Mayans as a baktun) does end on December 21, 2012. However, the world will not end; the calendar simply rolls over to the next baktun. It’s very similar to the Gregorian date of January 1, 2000.
    And just like we celebrated the beginning of the new millennium, the Mayans would have celebrated the beginning of a new baktun."

    It's my birthday that day!
    I think that we have a great many miscalculations. However. I also think that we are coming into a new era, one which will make us or break us. I think the next century or so is going to be an extremely interesting one. But end of the world is not what I think is coming.

    http://bradleycoldbrook.hubpages.com/hu … Armageddon
    Time To Evolve Our Faith
    To Hell With Armageddon

    Those who claim such doomful days

    use scripture as their source,

    but prophets gave their warnings

    to prevent such woeful course.

    Even though their words were true,

    which told of trauma down the road,

    they were statements of what’s coming,

    if proper care was not bestowed.

    To surrender to acceptance

    that evil ways will rule the day,

    insisting humans have no chance

    because it’s what the prophets say,

    is the attitude of quitters,

    who resign to giving up,

    who say “that’s just the way It’s Written,

    thus, it’s vain to interrupt.”

    As sure as we are living,

    and create what is to be,

    it is up to us to be the ones

    who evolve humanity.

    No more using lame excuses

    “That’s just the way it’s meant to be . . .”

    Only if we do not listen,

    or choose the lazy way to see.

    For scores of generations,

    each one Chicken Little’d the same,

    interpreting each challenge

    as “The End”, which never came.

    Every storm, or drought, or famine,

    pestilence, or disease,

    were reacted to with someone saying

    “It’s all in the prophecies,

       and there’s nothing we can do . . .”

    but to heck with that, let’s be real,

    and make the most of each new day new!

    As sure as Jonah had lamented

    his spoken doom did not come true,

    what good is any warning

    if it doesn’t alter what we do?



    To those who say we’re all just doomed

    to drink the cup of wrath,

    only if we choose such ignorance,

    must we know such aftermath.

    Instead of being foolish,

    and surrendering to doom,

    let’s unite around the world,

    so to the heavens we can bloom!

    Understanding where we came from,

    and where we’ve proven we can go,

    let our faith remain steadfast

    that to the stars, as friends, we’ll grow.

    Bradley Coldbrook
