I think it's normal for people to be a bit skeptical no matter how much they know it's not true. For me personally, when I die I'm going to be every bit worried that I was wrong when it comes to their being a God, even though I am pretty damn sure there isn't one. It applies to this as well. | ||

Yeah I can totally relate to this. Even though I have absolutely no reason to believe in God, I still find some comfort when I hear a good atheist can still go to heaven. I suppose its silly, but the prospect of being tortured for an eternity, however slim, is not a pleasant one to say the least. | ||

Y2K actually was real, obviously people hyped it up a bit when they said planes would be falling out of the sky and nuclear bombs would be firing all over the place, however, the logic behind it was real.

However, recently a similar 2010 bug that was similar to the Y2K actually destroyed a few systems (It wasn't prepared for like the Y2K bug). If they didn't prepare for the Y2K bug, a bit of chaos could of persued. | ||

There was no reason for it to be plastered all over the news with people hoarding food in preparation for the end of the world. Just like all of these doomsday scenarios. If a huge asteroid was going to hit Earth in the near future, we'd know about it decades in advance and could prepare to do something about it. The only thing that holds any water, imo, is the idea that some kind of global pandemic will occur and kill a lot of people. There's no reason why that would happen on December 21, 2012 as opposed to any other day, though. If it did, it would be purely coincidental. | ||

Thus, the Galactic Alignment "zone" is 1998 +/- 18 years = 1980 - 2016. This is "era-2012." Nobody calls this "era-2012" except the people who think something will happen on December 21st of this year. The scientists would have absolutely no reason to call it "era-2012" since 2012 is in no way a particular year regarding this alignment. [Regarding the polar shift] Scientists calculate that the next reversal will be in 2012. This is simply not true. Scientists don't believe the reversal will happen this year. | ||

Therefore, the fact that 26% of this poll is currently "Yes" scares me beyond all reason and words.

The poll is "Will the World End?" Yes or No. If you pick Yes, that indicates over a 50% belief that the world will end on December 21st. There is no reasonable explanation for that choice. | ||
