So, we all hear the theories.

The sun exploding a flare into our faces. (Burn...)

Meteors destroying us. (Texas wins in the end...)

Judgment by, God, dammit why do I care?

Evolution, as if.

Mass Suicide, Helter Skelter!!!

Nuclear destruction (Hello I am Kim Jong Il, I own all your Nukes)




My debate is, through everything, and all the supposed evidence (the little valid stuff I've been able to believe, smite me )
Do you think 2012 will be the end of the world, or are we freakin out over Y2K all over again?

Yes way or go 'way, anyone think 2012, aka the end of the world will actually happen?
Some part of me says it will.



But maybe even though the Aztecs had an all perfect correct calender that kicked our asses in prophecizing events, maybe when it ends, that just means the Aztecs end, cause you know they're stalking you at night, under your bed, in your closet, plotting with the boogeyman.
And Kreo.

No because I am going to go to 2014 Sochi, Russia olympics, after that the world can end if it wants.

I wanna live to 21, so 2013 can be the end of the world, cause by then I'll be able to do everything legally. Cause doing stuff illegally gets boring after a while.

I want an M4A1 with the SOPMOD package too.
Though I'd be better off joining the Army...

And I can't do none of that if I don't live long enough!

I think 2012 being the end of the world is bullshit, that's all I gotta say

You're all in denial, the first of the 5 stages of grief/dying.

I have already reached acceptance. I am superior.

Since when did you get out of those charges on pedophilia and beastiality Kol?

2012 must be real now. Lock up the boyscouts and greyhounds!

You aren't funny.

Kol is posting again, Phoronida yes.


Nothing will happen in 2012. Remember the millenium bug hysteria..? Nothing happened. It's all a load of bullshit, people obsessing over it because they need something (retarded) to believe in. A lot of the doomday scenarios involve, as you said, meteors or something sun-related. Most of that can be "predicted" : if something big enough to affect us would happen with the sun, we would already see the signs of it today. Same goes for meteors: they just don't suddenly go for the Earth, they orbit around it and some of them will eventually hit the Earth. But that won't happen in 2012.

There is alot more speculation but the most of it is absolutely idiotic (e.g. religious nonsense) and can be proven wrong by using common sense.

Don't believe in 2012, but JUST incase I'll be living my life to the fullest the week before 12-21-12

Oh also me and my friend figured out that 12-21-12 is LUL

The universe is trolling and it's doing it for the lulz.

Then they all win.

Death, has four stages.
Since when was I funny?

Kreo knows too much.
Though I wonder how he found out.

Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance



Hola amigos how many steps is that!?

What?

5?

You're right! five or cinco. My hand has 5 fingers, and grief has 5 stages. 5! Cinco!

HIGH FIVE

Dora the Explorer is Phoronidaing awful jesus christ

You mean 5 .... right? Well, 6 considering its you ... necrophilia. Though that implies that you get any action. So we'll still call it 5.

Lmfao at Boot's face

No, we don’t. A theory, in the broad sense of the word, is a statement devised to explain observations. Therefore, by the very definition of the word, a theory needs evidence backing it up and a substantial amount if it is be taken seriously. No so called ‘theory’ about the end of the world in 2012 has any of this, therefore there are no theories like you have stated.



If you knew anything about star formation and their lifecycles, you would know that that is simply not possible. Our star is 4.57 billion years old. How is this known? Radiometric dating of the oldest solar system material has returned a date of 4.57 billion years. This means that our sun (as we know it) will continue to shine for approximately another 5.4 billion years and unless you and you alone stand as the only human to defy the laws of nature by not at all aging, you won’t live that long. After this period, the Sun will swell up into a Red Giant, engulfing the orbits of Mercury, Venus and probably Earth. Even if the actual body of the star doesn’t reach our orbit, the planet will be vaporised by the intense heat.

Earth has protection against solar flares, it’s called the magnetosphere. Unless you’re in a spacecraft or on a planet that has no magnet field, you need not worry. Oh and a flare isn’t like a huge fireball coming towards us, if there was any misunderstanding there.

So the sun will not explode and ‘burn’ us, let alone explode a flare.



A meteor is the streak of light that is the result of a meteoroid disintegrating in the Earth’s atmosphere. For a meteor to destroy the Earth is just absurd and quite plainly, impossible. I think the word you mean is asteroid, in which case you are still wrong. Asteroids just aren’t big enough to destroy the planet. If an asteroid traveled fast enough, say at the speed of light (which is impossible, an object with mass can’t travel at the speed of light, but let’s just say it does) then it would have an infinite amount of energy, meaning that when it slammed into the Earth, the planet would be completely destroyed. However, the fastest moving asteroid that we know of clocks in at just over 81,000mph and the theoretical limit on speed at our distance from the Sun is roughly 100,000mph, so don’t go round telling your friends that we’re doomed just yet.

Furthermore even at 100,000mph, asteroids just simply aren’t big enough to destroy the planet. Unless you want to include dwarf planets in the ‘asteroid’ bracket, which would be rather naughty of you. However, if you meant dwarf planets too, then you’re still wrong. Earth has shown in the past than it is more than able to deal with impacts that are huge. The Moon was most likely formed when a planetary body the size of Mars slammed into the early Earth, yet Earth is still here today. What was the size of Theia? Well Mars’ mass is 0.15 that of Earth and we shall assume Theia had roughly the same density as Mars (it would probably be greater, as it would have formed in the same general area as Earth, which has a greater density than Mars, but hey, this isn’t some deep scientific study). Now what is the size of the largest known asteroid in the solar system (remember now, this includes dwarf planets because we’re rebels yo)? 1.67 × 1022 kg is the figure for Eris and 6.4185 × 1023 kg for Mars. You do the calculations, Mars and therefore Theia is/was a LOT bigger than Eris and if the Earth wasn’t destroyed by Theia, you’ve got nothing to worry about.



God doesn’t exist.



Humankind now tops the food chain, we are the world’s foremost super predator. Now, previously, that didn’t provide much safety for a species’ survival, but we now have the means to control this planet and all other animals around us, so the prospect of man becoming extinct by means of evolution is laughable.

Also, do you know anything about evolution? Do you know what timescale it operates on? Do you really think that within 3 years, a new type of life form will evolve, become sentient, master fire, and develop the technology to wipe us out without it even being noticed?



Yes, people will just decide to commit suicide for no reason.

Bumper cars. I can give an example of a fairground ride too, want to go on?



No. Just no.



There is no debate, because there needs to be another point of view in order for this to qualify as a debate.


No.


No.



Cut that part out.



No they didn’t. You can’t prophesise anything, because there is no way tell the future. Well, that’s not exactly true. If you knew the exact position and speed of all particles in the Universe then you could know the future, but seeing as though it is impossible to know both the exact position and speed of a particle due to the uncertainty principle, then that method isn’t exactly going to come into action anytime soon.

I do not know what will happen, but if it does I am not bothered. I do not believe in a typical religion but I do believe there is a higher power and there is a heaven or afterlife.

So regardless of what happens, I am happy. If it happens, what will we be able to do?

When swine flu was discovered, I did not care, because if it is my time to go, I will go.

Heard a comet is headed our way in orbit, but they say it'll be a near miss, iunno. The UAE does need some snow.

If people believe that the world will end in 2012, they are morons. This is just like how a man had predicted and "calculated" that the world would end in the 1980's I believe. A lot of people believed him and sold all of the property and possessions because they thought it was true. The man was wrong and the people screwed their lives over because they were gullible enough to believe in another's prediction. That is what's going on as of now and anyone who believes it is deemed as a moron to me.

Simple as that.

Hence my word theories Plant, as in ideas that have popped up in a debate over possibilities, not absolute ends, but then again, you're always correct. Go preach to the world, twenty million other people just like you will gladly answer you as if you were talking to a big egotistical, possibly narcissistic, and extremely biased mirror.


Crud, forgot bargaining. Oh well, I'm not Kreo, God, or Dora, I'm fail, that's pretty simple.


I'd like to believe 2012 is the end of the world. So, I choose to, so up until 2012, if the world doesn't end, darn raging homosexual faggots still exist to spam this topic and others like it, if the world does end, cool, now what?

It's primarily gases. It wouldn't get past our atmosphere.

The solid head would get through (that sounded so Phoronidaed up)

I remember watching a special on discovery where it shows what would happen if a comet hit the earth, if I can remember, it would destroy a land mass the size of a state(or city forgot) and it would send up gasses into the atmosphere blocking the sun and creating a new ice age, get out your snowboards!

No, nothing will happen at all

Do you know what's gonna happen on december 31st of 2012 that's so Phoronidaing insane?

People are gonna celebrate newyears and it will be 2013

That's what will happen

Says the guy who believes that some zombie dude is going to resurrect the WHOLE FOOKING EARTH and give ALL OUR BODIES BACK.

SOMEHOW IT LOOKS LIKE THIS COMET MIGHT JUST HIT NIGGA

lol

space debris hits Earth constantly but it burns up in the atmosphere. The solid head would have to be huge to get though.

If you're so worried about what will happen then get back into that Phoronidaing hole you crawled out of to come back here. It was nice with you gone.

+1

Once again, I point you to the definition of the word. What you referred to were not theories. Please don't become angry or enraged because you were corrected. You should learn from your mistakes.

A little hostile there, don't you think? This is where we differ. I provide statements which are backed up by facts, you seem to just spew a constant stream of nonsense.

Why would you want the world to end? You've got problems? That's great, deal with them. Don't wish the world to end, that's a really selfish and self centred thing to say.

Listen mate, you started a topic about how the world may end in 2012. Max took your examples and explained how they are totally wrong, backed up with evidence. And then you reply with a very immature post that doesn't make any sense at all. I'm sorry, but I don't see why you are making a dramatic post like that.

Kol is having male pms.

Plant, God does exist, not the Christan God, but http://www.youtube.com/user/theamazingatheist

freespeechvids is not factual information

I guess that means nothing is factual information

Kreotis is factual information

Since one of you fags enjoys removing my constructive posts

Nothign will happen in 2012 at the end of the year

You know what'll be happening on December 31st, 2012?

People will be celebrating new years and it'll be 2013 and then we'll go on with our lives and then I'll still be on my scheduled break from american apparel

SMD

A good documentary from a respected source (e.g. the BBC) is factual information. A good book is too. A site where everybody can upload his nonsense to without anything to back him up (except maybe other nonsense) is not.

This.

Sources are needed and youtube videos rarely, if ever, have them.

Smoby, I just noticed you have 2,012 posts. Add this to the growing list of evidence of cataclysm.

Holy Phoronida. Brix were shat.

yeah the head of a comet is about a mile across as I heard

Miles wide would suck for us...

Aka wikipedia.
