Ok, I took the time to read, lets break it down a little shall we...
All of that is just guesswork, except for maybe number 2 which seems to be happening. Where as 5 and 4 are already taking place on a grand scale.
1. Global warming, which can easily bring upon an ice age which can destroy most of the life on planet Earth.
2. The world’s financial system breaks down.
3. Pandemics such as AIDS, Bird Flu, SARS, Swine Flu may spread.
4. Starvation
5. Poverty
6. And the biggest one of all, Wars.
Why does a prediction of WWIII have more weight than other predictions? Why does a prediction of a "New Age" have more weight than other predictions? And how can you then link WWIII and a New Age together and say it's more likely than other predictions? Kind of hypocritical if you ask me.
If ANYTHING could happen, I would suggest that there will be the possibility of World War 3, and afterwards, our country will be peaceful once again. I say this because not only has WW3 been predicted sometime near the December 21st, 2012 date, but that after every world war we have seen, everybody gets back into state of joy, peacefulness, and love. This is fairly evident in the 1920’s after WW1 and in the 1950’s after WW2. Also, the end of 2012, and moving onto 2013, is supposed to be the dawn of a “new age” where our civilization moves on from the fighting and hate and onto love and joy. So after all the WW3 prediction seems to fit in just right. Also, with this new age, it’ll feel like some sort of “upgrade” to mankind and our spiritual well-being. This is what the Mayans refer to as another Age of “Enlightenment”, where the truth behind the world will finally be revealed.
So back with NASA, they have answered some very sincere questions regarding these different theories:
1. One of the questions asked in general, can any disaster happen on this date? NASA replied back saying our planet has been getting along for 4 billion years and that it plans on doing it’s job even past 2012.
2. Another widely-speculated theory is that a planet called Nibiru/Planet X comes into our orbit every 3,600 years, a planet containing ET life called the Annunaki. The ancient Sumerians described these beings in their writings on stone tablets. Yet NASA says that there is no scientific evidence of this planet anywhere near our solar system, yet. If it were real, NASA says, then the gravitational force of it would be effecting us right now.
3. Another question answered by NASA is “Does the Mayan Calendar end on December 21st, 2012?” Well technically it does but it doesn’t necessarily mean absolute destruction and chaos. It just means that the Mayan “Long Count” ends and then we enter the next “count”. There is no evidence showing that the Mayan intended this calendar to show when the “end” will be. Time simply goes on.
4. One last question was asked about solar flares happening in 2012. NASA replied that yes, there will be solar flares happening throughout 2012-2013 but this happens every 11 years and if you look around the room, we are still alive.
1. NASA didn't answer anything here, they skipped around the question of "will a disaster happen" and answered the planet will still be orbiting the Sun. Which I don't doubt, but that doesn't say much about our well being.
2. A reasonable answer, probably because Planet X has nothing to do with 2012 (if real at all).
3. They didn't intend the calender to mark the end of time or something, but you said it yourself that the end of a cycle represents a time of chaos right?
4. You neglected to mention the fact that these will be some of the most intense solar flares ever experienced because the Sun will be awakening from a long slumber and will be more active than ever.
