Thread: 2012 and all that

For the last 20 years there has been a lot of talk on what will happen in 2012/11 and also much on Ascension,

2012 based on the Mayan Calender,

Have a look at the following website

Mayans themselves are bemused by all the kerfuffle around the calendar.

You asked them then??

Not personally, no.

how do you know then

Because I've seen / read information on it.

Which is subjective is it not

I will state my position on this

"I DON,T KNOW'

But am open to any rationale discussion,

What I do know is that 90 % of folk believe in some sort of higher presence without verifying that source,

That seems odd, but in line with what you may expect

2012 is Alan Turing year. Works for me.

Mayans were big on "God"?

Well sure, but then it's not as though the world ending in 2012 based upon the coincidence of that being the termination of the Maya calendar is accepted, proven and verifiable, objective fact.

And when it comes to this sort of thing I'll take the words of the Mayans themselves over some doomsday website. According to that line of thinking we aren't even posting right now, the world having ended in 1533. And 1914. And 1969. And 2000. And...

Very clever man often wrongly linked to inventing the 1st computer, he was a brilliant mathematician,

shame he was hounded in the 50s for his sexual needs resulting in his suicide

This from the website you provided the link to:

Author Patrick Geryl came to the staggering conclusion that the Earth will soon be subjected to an immense disaster. The cause: upheavals in the sun's magnetic fields will generate gigantic solar flares that will affect the polarity of the entire Earth. The result: our magnetic field will reverse all at once, with catastrophic consequences for humanity.

Massive earthquakes will demolish all buildings on the planet, and instigate colossal tsunamis and intense volcanic activity. In fact, the Earth's crust will shift, sweeping continents thousands of miles away from their present positions.

Sounds like doomsday to me.

Semantics really at any rate -- point's still the same as this sort of prophetic view of things to come has been proven wrong time and time again.

very true Ant

the doomsters have always bollocks it up.

even that french guy with his Quatrains, as vague as you like

Are you a Turing Test?

Well if the magnetic field reverses it really screws things up big time. All those school globes will have to be turned upside down.

Which is nothing compared to my problem. My globe is full of bottles of vodka, gin and tequila. Now I'm going to have to buy a cocktail cabinet.

Bluddy inconsiderate of those Mayans I say.

Not wanting to be awkward mate, but this seems a bit high to me. Then again, i am one of the 10% who believe in the, "If i wake up in the morning and everything is still there, then that's ok" brigade.
