But of that day and hour no one knoweth
I get a lot of emails from Christians who assure me I am wrong about 2012. They share with me a Biblical passage, of which there are various translations but the message is the same:
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.
(Matthew 24:35-36)
And I agree with them. Nobody except for God knows exactly when the Biblical apocalypse will occur. Only God has his finger on that button, and despite attempts to bring it on this year (as I can’t help but feel we must endure), humans will have to wait until God decides it is time.
But what about a non-Biblical apocalypse?
Does it say anywhere in the Bible There shall be no other apocalypse except for mine? Does it say There will be no asteroid impacts and no solar flares?
Christianity does not have a monopoly on global cataclysms, and the Bible does not preclude other disasters. 2012 and Christianity are mutually compatible, and you’ll find the majority of canned food hoarding 2012ers are Christians.

The Mayans (among other ancient cultures) do not predict the end of the world.
Many ancient cultures were able to do things we can’t do today. The Mayans were amazing astronomers. Even able to determine that there are nine planets in our system. They were also able to observe huge cycles. The one in question is the 26,000 year cycle which ends in 2012. With very little effort you can research what happened 26,000 years ago. There was a mass extinction event. Go back another 26,000 years and there was another extinction event. Go back another 26,000 and yet another. Scientist already know this, as would anyone with a little effort and a search engine.
For some reason there is an extinction event every 26,000 years. Some are worse than others. Why? Who knows?
It has nothing to do with the end of the world, aliens, Obama or the coming of Christ.
But only that the Mayans were aware of an extinction event every 26,000 years. Our scientist observe the same thing. Who knows? We may have a thousand extinction events before the world ends.
