So, they say the world is going to end 12/21/12. But they are also now saying based on the bible it's going to end 5/21/11. That marks 7,000 years since Noah's Ark. People who believe will be taken and those who dont believe in the bible will remain and endure 5 months of unbelieveable pain. Until the coming day of 10/21/11. Does anybody believe this or are there skeptics out there. For me, I'm not saying it's going to happen but I'm also not saying it's not going to happen. I'm a skeptic with it. What do you all think?

I can pretty much tell you it won't happen on either of those days.
The bible says no man will know the day or the hour

Personally I don't take too much notice of these predictions as there are hundreds of them around. The world was first of all supposed to end in 2000, but then this was moved until 2012 because it is the end of the Mayan calandar. Well, all I can say is the the Mayans had to end their calandar at some point or they would still be writing it today! After all where does time come to an end? From what I can see it still keeps travelling on and on and on... Don't worry, just enjoy 2011.. It's a New Year. Nothing is permanent and we have no way of knowing the future, as it does not yet exist.. Or maybe it does... I don't know. _Derek

Whatever! I hate when some people dig up just another date from some kind of event and start to spread rumors about the end of the world. I've heard like dozens of such predictions, the world should have ended for a million times now! Stupid stupid stupid! Robots and computers had to take the world over in year 2000, nothing happened! All the following years had at least several dates of the end of the world. And again, we are still here, alive! People should really spend their free time on something useful, like helping others or doing sports or whatever.

Okay, first off if your not going to say something nice, please dont reply to my discussion. I'm just typing things, passing time. Also I do help others, sports, crafts, reading and of the sorts. I have kids I'm busy all day long. But once my kids are in bed. It is me time. I know they have had predictions a thousand times over I wanted to know what OTHER people think about it. I just wanted opinions not rude comments!

Rather than worry about the prediction, there is something which is true and can be devastating. The sun activities will rotate between high and low with each cycle lasting 14 years. The high should have started in 2008 but for some unknown reasons, it did not. But in recent times, scientists have from sign that the activities are increasing and have predicted that the climax will be in 2013. They are worried about the effect it will have on Earth then.

Well, sjlskl, this is about the most intelligent comment in this discussion, from my point of view. If what you say is true (and I'm not saying it's not true - I don't know), then perhaps THIS is where climate change on Earth is coming from, not the notion that something like carbon dioxide can change climate. I'd really like to know what you are talking about. I wish you could have been more specific about the climax that will be in 2013? It is to do with a solar flare, increasing number of sunspots, or what? I haven't read much lately about alternative causes for global heating, because we're so bashed over the head about carbon dioxide and man's role in it.

That is very quite interesting. I havent heard that one yet. I have heard something about in a few years the earth will be about 20 degrees warmer or something like that. I live in Connecticut and I've heard that in time we were be having Flordia's temps year round. I agree with cachalot I wish you could have been more specific.

I don't this the world will end in May or December or any time this decade , maybe we'll push the wrong button and shoot some atomic bombs here and there a few years from now but I doubt the world will just end any time soon , and I also don't think anyone will put us trough 5 months of pain for no reason , I doubt the world will end just like that ...

No, I don't believe the world is going to end in May or on 12/21/12. I don't think any of us have any possible way of knowing if and when it will end nor do I think it has anything to do with what the Mayan calendar or the Bible says.
If the earth is destroyed it will be by mankind, either by a nuclear bomb or other weapon of mass destruction or simply by destroying the environment to the point where the earth can no longer heal itself.

Over the 40 years that I've been growing up I've heard a lot of "the world is going to end" type stuff. It never happens. I'm not saying that it never will but it hasn't so far. Wheather it does or not, there isn't anything I can do to change it. I'm right with God, I'm not afraid to die and I can't change the future so it doesn't matter what happens or doesn't happen. I do hope that it doesn't throw everyone into a panic like the whole Y2K thing did.

The world will end when the universe collapses. The universe started with a big bang millions of years sgo. This led to an expanding universe. The energy released in the big bang will reach its maximum limit. That will be the end of the universe as we know it.
Nobody really knows when this will happen. In several religions there is a talk about the signs or events that will occur before the end of the world. I do not think that it will be in my lifetime.

this is totally foolish to consider that the world is going to end. The movie 2012 is also a big crap. So stop thinking that the world is going to end...

There is no reason in what some said. It is nonsense ,pure and simple.Earth is still young.This version which is with religious overtones reminds me of a Chinses idiom called Qi ren you tian ,It said that a man of Qi(name of a state in old times,in today's Qi county,Henan,China)who was haunted by the fear that the sky might fall.

Dear magrylouyu, have a happy 2011.
If you believe in the bible and you believe in a just God (a God that himself turns the other cheek, presumably) then how could you or anyone else believe that He would allow people to endure 5 months of unbelievable pain just because they find the bible unacceptable. He, God, is unbelievably cruel if that is what he has in store for some humans - he's no better than Hitler, Genghis Khan and other brutes. The Old Testament was full of God's hatred for Man. Apparently, by the time the New Testament arrived on the scene, God had turned over a new leaf (for the most part) and became a lover of Mankind. The bible HAD to change. People were changing, and were less accepting of this jealous, bloody-minded God. It's strange, don't you think, that God is now associated more with peace, whereas before he was a tyrant.
Who knows when and if the world will end. If it does, it's more likely to be natural disaster, or a nuclear holocaust.

Since you mentioned Noah's Ark, I take it that you are a Christian and a believer in the Word of God. Indeed, there has been too many predictions of end of the world (probably ever since Skeeter Davis started singing her version of the song (haha)), but which has turned out true? Using the bible as the basis of truth, Matthew 24:36 clearly reminds us that Jesus Himself has made it plain clear that "No one knows the time or the hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father." Do you believe the bible?

I don't believe the end of the world will come that soon,but it will come,eventually,but I don't think there's anyone who can tell when that will happen and I don't believe in any prophecy;I simply think the world will be destroyed by humans probably in a nuclear warfare or maybe the earth will be hit by a huge meteorite and that might be the end,who knows?So I am also a skeptik.
