Astrologers may have confirmed the planets will align, but I've had a quick look and I can't find any evidence to suggest that science confirms it. Does anyone know?
Some legends say that in 2012 the ancient gods, all of whom promised to return, will gather at Tiahuanaco, and a new era of peace will begin. Other legends say 2012 will bring the end of the world.
No one knows so we'll just have to wait and see, won't we - but I think I'll carry on paying the mortgage anyway - just to be on the safe side!

Well that's good news for us last minute Christmas shoppers at any rate !
Weren't the planets in alignment not long ago...........?
Isn't this just one of those "The earth will end on this day...............oh, erm it must be this day, then............no ? oh it'll be this day and if it's not then it'll be that day." ?

Planets have aligned time and time again and depressingly predicatably, various parties have declared that these events will see God arrive/ disasters occur/ Intelligent Design to start using facts or some other hooey.
Have a guess how many times any of these predictions have come to pass?

There is no significant planetary alignment in 2012. Even if all the planets lined up on the opposite side of the Sun, the effect on the Earth would be negligible. By far the most influential body, from a gravitational perspective, is the Moon.
The most likely date for terrestrial Armageddon will occur some 5 to 8 billion years in the future when the Sun swells up to become a Red Giant. However that time scale isn't scary. An optimum time scale for maximum panic seems to be between 3 and 8 years. Some people live in hope for the Great Chastisement but are invariably let down.

I remember one of the Louis Theroux Weird Weekend programmes where he visited a cult commune thing - House of Jahweh or something I think. They were totally convinced that judgement day would come in 2004. Louis asked what would happen if 2004 arrived and nothing happened but they just refused to even acknowledge the possibility. And we're still here.
The point is that people have predicted the end of the world for as long as we've been able to talk and it still hasn't happened.
The only thing we can be sure of is that people are gullible and easily fooled.

That made me laugh Llamatron. I remember as a schoolgirl the day for the predicted end of the world had arrived (can't remember the date), and I spent my lunch break out on the tennis courts watching the clouds skimming across the sky, and waiting - and nothing happened!
Saxy - sorry, but I hope your bet goes down!

also thought it was strange that a the Mayans could have known that 3000 years ahead there would be a planetary allignment on that date, as astrologers have confirmed. I am not saying its gonna happen. Think u people just like to sit on your high horses and take the p*** out of others who are not neccessarily as learned as you.
