Is the world going to come to an end soon and why or why not?

Well that's not the end of your calandar, it's the end of the year. From what I know, the Mayan calandar just ends on that date. There are probably several more key differences between our calandar system and that of the Mayan's. It ends on that date because the guy calculating it got writer's cramp. He figured he'll be long gone by the time anyone notices and gets pissed off that he never completed the job. It's not the end of the world, it's just bad work-ethic.

I don't understand why people put any weight into McKenna's 2012 thing when even he admitted that his math was wrong and the conclusion baseless...

I think it's funny when people say "the end of the world" as if human society or even our planet constitutes the entire world.
That's your ego talking. Fo' sho.

Yeah I think it's going to end, at least for humanity, because people can not stop doing wrong to each other and adding insult to insult. The whole situation of the world is one side fucks the other, people are angry because they were hurt or had relatives killed, so they retaliate and piss the other guy off, who retaliates again etc.
Now that we have so much powerful technology it's just a matter of time before some crazy guy gets some and destroys life on earth as we know it.
I'm betting real soon too.

Thats a loosers bet from ther get go. If humankind gets wiped out soon, you won't be able to collect. If it doesn't you'll have to pay up.
The winning bet it that it won't end, if we got blitz, you won't have to pay and if we don't you win big.

We fucked over the planet too badly. We do nothing but grow, consume and waste, without giving a fuck as to what effect it's having. You may not notice it now but soon you will. Tornados and hurricans will become more violent and there will be more violent ones and the weather will get more unpredictible. The ice caps are melting at an alarming rate which will heat up the world due to less snow and ice which reflects light or heat or whatever the fuck, the water will rise, changing the weather system. The Maldives will soon be gone, shit is going to get very hectic. There will probably be some nasty heat waves too like the one Chicago had in the 90's, I forget exactly when but it killed a fuck load of people. And this is just from heat alone. Have fun living in florida and getting a shit load of nasty hurricanes. Global warming effects will have an exponential rate of growth. We're fucked. That is all. Go read The Coming Storm by Bob Reiss or something like that. It was a good book. Not writen all that well but I liked it and it was interesting.

Im not saying the world is going to end anytime soon but just because a bunch of people throughout history have made erroneous predictions does not provide proof that the world isnt going to end!

Oh gawd, not this again. You can't prove a negative. Here, read this and get back to me:

I think there's a flaw in your logic.

"You can't prove something does not exist, and claiming that something does exist because nobody has ever proved it doesn't is an example of flawed reasoning." Diplod, Dude this won't work. Claiming and proving something exists is very simple. Sometimes when we create a flowing set of words we think we have found logic. Not that I fully understand identifying Logic. What you said is flawed.

What you said is flawed. Alright, let's try some logic using a hypothetical. Here are the facts in this hypothetical discussion: 1. I say that the universe was created when it was flung out of the nose of the Great Green Arkelseizure, a gigantic supernatural being. 2. I am wrong, and there is no such thing as the Great Green Arkelseizure. 3. You don't know one way or the other whether or not the Great Green Arkelseizure exists. So, in this hypothetical, it is a fact that there is no such thing as the Great Green Arkelseizure, and it is a fact that you don't know if he does or does not exist. ============ Now, can you give me a single example of something that you would accept as proof that the Great Green Arkelseizure does not exist?
