2012 and the world views

Comments to an article that www.2012online.org submitted

The Mayan calendar does not predict doom, just change. For the people that discredit 2012, I understand. So many people, religions have had some sort of doomsday scenario prior to December 21 2012. That is why your thoughts are the way you describe them here in this article and in others. Another point to make, you are here reading this blog. May I ask why it is of interest to you? It is because something draws you to this. Whether it is to preach about "only God knows the hour" or "put your faith in Jesus" are reputable words, you have been trained, and your goal is to tell as many people about the love and word of God before the time draws near of his coming. Is it not different for the ones that have researched and have facts of the cycles here on Earth that predict future events? You see we are the same; we both have the same amount of evidence, the bible or other religious document, and the Mayan calendar and other ancient evidence. But is that the goal, evidence? Or faith? What evidence do you have to prove your views of the doomsday by your religion? Too many people have the understanding of what is not, because this is the common understanding throughout the past 2000 years. If anything challenges this, you’re primary instinct is to discredit. Which clearly stated is understandable, due to many doomsday scenarios throughout the world. But should this hold you from exploring more, just like someone would do in school or church to gain more knowledge. This is something that you cannot prove true or false until that day arrives, you can only hope and pray that your views (the world views) are correct. To the ones that want to discredit the Mayan by saying "they could not predict there own demise" or "their calendar is nonsense", please research more about the calendar system the Mayan provided. As for the Egyptians and "not knowing world was round" is questionable. As civilizations rise and fall things are learned and relearned, this is prevalent if you research ancient civilizations. In the End it is your choice. The Mayans had the most advanced calendar, which is still better then the Georgian calendar that we use today. There were 3 main calendars with the one in questions being the long count. The Earth goes through cycles, fact. Polar reversal has happened on Earth, but scientists still have little understanding of the effect on Earth. As for the significance of 2012 there are many things that will happen, don’t take it from me, or a website, or the TV. Research. You are fed information from the day you were born, put through school, and then given choices for your life with the structures you learned growing up; this is how you arrived here. No matter your motive, or willingness to want more information, we are here disputing December 21 2012. This date has made an impact in your life one way or another.
