No, Kidd, the Mayans didn't predict that the world would end in 2012, that's just when their calendar ends. It doesn't necessarily mean the world will end, because the Mayans just considered it the end of a cycle. When they got to the end of a long count calendar, they just reset to 0...
However, people (because they ARE people) are always looking to scare people, and so certain bible thumpers (I'm looking at YOU Jack Van Impe!) have taken passages from the bible that give specific times for the apocalypse, and have translated them to make 2012 the end date, then use the Mayan calendar to back up their theory, saying even an ancient civilization thought the world would end in 2012.
Personally, I don't believe in it, but my mom actually DOES, she's sort of a religious nut (she believes in god but not carbon dating, we'll leave it at that) so she's getting her affairs in order.

i believe in god as well, but as for all of this "the world is going to end *insert date here*" I don't believe that crap...when the lord comes to get us, he doesn't want anyone to know. It'll be like *poof* and the ones that havent got there heart right gone be like "fuck!...your going to do this now?!"

i'm gonna' have to go with george carlin on this one...
the earth has survived meteors, ice ages, shifting plates, hurricanes, quakes, and so on and so on.
the WORLD isn't going to end... just humanity.
and at the rate we're going, i wouldn't be surprised if it happened within the next 100-200 years.

Well here's my theory. The bible says that after the Lord comes the earth will "Be destroyed by fire." I relate that to when Andromeda collides with the Milky Way or when the sun fuses out and explodes. Even if the sun exploding doesn't kill the Earth, the fact that there IS NO MORE SUN will. So if my theory is correct, which I doubt it is, the world/humanity will end in about 5 Billion years. That is if we don't all have to go live on the moon because of Global Warming
