The Mayans predicted the end of the to be in 2012, I was merely asking for opinions on the subject.

Not so much the end of the world. The Mayan calendar simply ends on the winter solstice of 2012, and when referenced by the Mayans, it was labeled as a "Celestial Event" or "Spiritual Awakening". That could mean all of the planets in our solar system aligning, a visit from Aliens, something like that. There is no Mayan pictograph or scripture that spells out "The world is ending in 2012".

Because an ancient civilization of superstitious warmongers is a very credible source on these matters.

All the other nutball end-of-the-world predictions turned out to be false - but THIS TIME it's gonna work, I can just feel it.  I refuse to learn from experience or reality.

Anyone can throw random dates out of their pooper and say it's the last day of Earth. At least Edison had some credible theories and information that isn't based off of cave markings from 2000 years ago.

Then it won't be the Mayans fault, it will be circumstance.  Stop trying to act like Carl already, jesus christ..

The whole reason it's odd is because the Mayans had one of the first accurate calendars several thousand years back.
Why would 2012 be the cutoff of such a long calendar?
Was it just random choice, or is that the day the aliens that created Earth come back and blow it up?

1) 2012 might seem random to us. The Mayans knew not of the story of Jesus, so it could just be that the calendar was some significant multiple of a number.

2) The only reason humanity would end on 2012 is if world leaders try to bring about the end because it's been predicted. There are tons of leaders out there who wish to fulfill end times prophecies.

3) This isn't trial and error. This isn't one person working towards a goal. It's random people citing random end times dates for random reasons.
