Many people are saying the world is going to end in 2012 due to the lack of further information on the mayan calendar.  Your thoughts?

Rules:

Stay on topic, this thread's predecessor was locked due straying into a bad place.  Particularly avoid the topic of religion.  It may seem like this thread is open to that due to the many appocolypse theories out there, but I am specifically refering to the mayan calandar.

Please be conciderate to the thoughts and beliefs of others.  If you disagree, say so, and SAY WHY!  don't just take the "Because I said so" approach.

This is meant to be an open-minded debate style.  Both opinion and facts are welcome.  I'll let someone else start.
