I understand a lot of people are spooked by this date thing, but to put everyone at ease lets apply some logic and common sense.

Does anyone here know what I am going to have for lunch next Tuesday? What I am going to wear? What videogame I am going to buy next? Of course not! Why, because I have not decided these things myself, since I am not aware of these events, how can anyone else be?

Now lets compound the equation a bit. I am one of aprx 6 Billion people who inhabit this planet. History when you break it down consists of decisions of everyone and the actions and reactions in regards to those decisions right?

No one predicted the Earthquake in Hatti, had there not been one, the international community and the Hatian people would be making very different decisions right now, correct?

The best weather forcasters can only accurately guess our weather locally for about 5-7 days. That is derrived from crunching numbers through massive supercomputers.

Now think of the math required to calcualate every possible outcome of every event that could ever occur, impossible basically, Correct.

Therefore it stands to reason that since it is impossible to predict what decisions will be made and by whom, the occurance of random events that effect those decisions, and the reactions by others to said decisions, then it is impossible to predict the future, let alone when specifically the world will end. One can only make some projections based extrapolations of current trends. Projections however are only guess work.

Bottom line there is absolutely no scientific basis for this 2012 business, worry not, take care of yourself in the here and now and have a good night's sleep.
