I read and heard that the world will come to an end on 12/2012, according to the Aztec calendar which ends on 12/2012. So many friends and people have said that that's the last day of people on earth, but honestly i don't believe it, to me whoever saw into the future and did the calendar most likely was not able to see past 12/2012 or maybe that's when they became extinct? who knows but i doubt the world will come to an end, my belief is that when you die you die and is your time to go. Most likely the one person making the calendar maybe past away. What do you guys think?

The prediction was based on a Mayan calendar, not the Aztec calendar. But it doesn't much matter anyway, the prediction was somebody's idea of a way to make a few bucks on his book. The truth is that the Mayan's had 3 calendars. Their "long count" calendar ends on 12/21/12. What the person who wrote the prediction conveniently forgot to tell everyone is that when that calendar reaches the last date it is supposed to start over from the beginning not be the last day of existence.
Some people will do anything to make a buck. That's why conspiracy theories and "end of days" prophecies are so popular. Barnum pretty much nailed it when he said "There's a sucker born ever minute."

People wish they can see into the future but the reality is nobody can. Some of their predictions might be correct. That doesn't suggest all their predictions will come true. You can throw mud at a building twice a day and eventually some of it will stick. I have a feeling 12/2012 we will all be having a good laugh about not dying.
