		<description>Nick - I don&#039;t want to hurt your feelings or anything, but I&#039;ve had a lot of extremely vivid dreams that didn&#039;t come true.  I&#039;m afraid you need to come up with some firmer credentials for divination than that you dream.  Every person on the face of the Earth dreams.  As I&#039;ve said before, I deal in empirical sciences, not philosophy or conjecture.  

My personal opinion is that people who prey on others with these doomsday predictions should face criminal prosecution.  There are limits to the concept of &quot;freedom of speech&quot;, and speech intended to alarm or disturb the public is prohibited.</description>

		<description>The world will not end because of earthquakes, tsunami, meteor strike, nuclear war, supernova, or any other natural or man made disaster. End will not happen on any arbitrary date like December 2012. The end of the universe has been designed into the laws of the universe by the creator. The contraction of the universe will commence the beginning of the end which will last for thousands and possibly millions of years. We will however be gone far before that time removed from the dying universe.</description>

		<description>Why does everyone keep acting like the world is just going to up and end one day? What comes next? Does it even matter?
I think it is wise to keep in mind that throughout the entire span of (known) human history, our sun has never crossed the gravitational plane that we call the galactic equator. There is no way of knowing what exactly will happen, but archaeologists have confirmed that the earth has gone through several pole shifts since the ice caps formed. If pole shift is possible, the gravitational forces at the galactic plane are likely set it off. The aftermath of a pole shift can be summed up in one word: chaos
Once people begin believing in it, we can start planning for it, so that just in case it really does happen, we won&#039;t be playing should&#039;ves.</description>

		<description>I dont know if the world will end in 2012 or not and i dont wont it to but why did they predict the world woould end on the 21/23 of dec. 2012 and not dec. 22 of 2012? But i think nobody truly knows when the world will end unless god told a predicter somehow and its a waring to earth. and theres a 1/99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 chance of that happening</description>

		<description>The etymology of the word world is simply man&#039;s view. Worlds come to an end all the time just as the Mayan world met its demise.
It would be wise to put all of this into context and to neglect the original meaning of the word is suspect. 

Now if you are talking about the end of the planet or most organic life on the planet that&#039;s entirely different. Personally, I would love to see an end to civilization in a hurry!</description>

		<description>Mark - there were two books written, &quot;The Bible Code&quot;, and &quot;The Bible Code II&quot;.  What it basically says is that there were messages encoded into the Torah (written in the original Hebrew) by aliens of benevolent intent.  When the Hebrew Torah is placed on a graph (with no spaces, onelongstreamofletters so it looks like that) and a computer program is applied to it, the Torah is said to predict events in the future.

You are absolutely correct in that the Bible says only God will know.  It&#039;s very plainly stated; and it&#039;s not open to interpretation at all.</description>

		<description>Some where back there Ed said:dont include the Bible in your myths The Bible states that only God knows when the end willcome.
you should get ready now anyway

This was The same sort of thing I was going to say, there was no direct mention of the Bible, but the Bible code which I believe some how pikes anagrams out of Bible text.

Only God knows when the end will happen.</description>
