Right now I think its......... BS,

but ask me again in 2013 as I may have changed my opinion by then.

George Noory on Coast to Coast AM has been discussing it for the last few years and has had several guests usually supporting the fact that everything may end in 2012, but then again he has quests on that have been abducted by aliens and others that have seen Big Foot.

If it does happen, it'll be a self-fulfilling prophecy.  Every one wants to be of the last humans.  Stupid, stupid humans. ;D

Jackel its human nature. In uncertain times, particularly those of major social/economic upheaval that cause people to question their identity and place in the word, appolapytic cults spring up. It happened in the first millenium, during the Wars of Religion, during the Second Industrial Revolution and around the year Y2K. Its why Revelation is in vogue now with the Left Behind series and the like. Not withstanding the fact that Revelation is the most useless book in the Bible, by which I mean we will all die and face judgement , next Wednesday or twenty years from now who cares? The bottom line is that it lets people see a plan, find order out of chaos and substitute certainty for faith. I would say the Mayan Calender and Nostradamus are the same things, only secular. People, like children, crave stability, rules and order. When stuff becomes uncertain, they tend to let their egos project their own sitution, "its the end of things as I know them",  becomes "its the end of all things".  The millenarian midset is more a barometer of the popular psyche than anything else. The worse things get, the more you want to invest in tin foil futures.

Just to pick a nit...... The book is titled "Revelation".....singular, not plural.  An important theological point signifying that there is one single plan revealed not several.

Entirely too much time wasted trying to predict the end time.

Mea Culpa on the spelling again. But I agree with your main point. Who cares when the end happens? What are you going to do about it? The Rapture, an asteroid, the sun going nova, global warming, an ice age, a zombie invasion what difference does it make? People need to get a hobby.

Upheaval in 2012, fact or fiction ?
Fact is, it doesn't matter. There are enough run of the mill disasters occurring in the course of normal life, storms, floods, earthquakes, forest fires, etc. to make the need for preparedness and self sufficiency blindingly obvious.
Civilization does not have to end to justify being prepared, it just needs to take a vacation in YOUR area, say during hurricane season.
