Why would December 21 2012 would be called doomsday?

Answer 1

I doubt it. The Mayan calendar ends on 12/21/12, and some think that means it's the apocalypse. We don't know what it means. For all we know, they might have just gotten tired of adding to the calendar. Who knows if it's right? The Mayans predicted that they would win their revolution as well. Nostradamus also predicted "the end of the world as we know it" in 2012 (or 3797). Still, that doesn't mean doomsday. Assuming that he is right (and I heard that 90% of the things he predicted were wrong) it could be something good. It all depends on interpetation. The Book of Revelations also predicted doomsday around this time. It also predicted 1,000 years of peace after the death of Jesus. That obviously hasn't happened. Also in 2012, the planets will "align." Some say it will cause gravitational mayhem on Earth. That is not true. Other planets have totally insignifigant gravitational influences on Earth. Besides, the planets aren't going to allign totally, just in a 2-D sense. "Apocalypse" dates have come and gone, recently 2001. The world could end in a minute, or it could end a million years from now. No one can tell. Don't worry about it. _______________ The world ends many thousands of times a day for those whose lives come to an end. As for the rest of us, we will know for sure on the morning of December 22 2012. It's not that far away. I'm planning a hearty breakfast, and an ordinary day.

Answer 2

Because back then the mayans made a calendar so, The Mayan calendar is divided into Seven Ages of Man. The fourth epoch ended in August 1987. The Mayan calendar comes to an end on Sunday, December 23, 2012. Only a few people will survive the catastrophe that ensues. In the fifth age, humanity will realize its spiritual destiny. In the sixth age, we will realize God within ourselves, and in the seventh age we will become so spiritual that we will be telepathic. But if you are a christian you know that only God the Father knows and that we have faith in him always.

It is because the Sun,our Earth and the center of the milky way are aligned. And a magnetic force slows down the earth's rotation causing all things in the earth will be destroyed but it is true that the sun,earth and the center of the milky way would be aligned but the destruction is not true...

Answer 4

Because everything that has been learned about stars, especially stars of the sun's class and size shows us that that is what will happen. The sun's outer shell may or may not expand enough to engulf the earth, but it will certainly engulf Venus and Mercury - and most likely the earth. But mankind will have long since moved on or become extinct by the time that happens.

Answer 5

December 21, 2012 was believed by some to be the end of the Mayan calendar, leading to speculation about an apocalyptic event. However, this belief was not supported by archaeologists or Mayan scholars. In reality, it was simply the end of a cycle in the Mayan calendar and did not predict the end of the world.
