Even the Maya are getting sick of 2012 hype - Science- msnbc.com
MSNBC reports: "But most archaeologists, astronomers and Maya Indians say the only thing likely to hit Earth is a meteor shower of New Age philosophy, pop astronomy, Internet doomsday rumors and TV specials — such as one on the History Channel that mixes predictions from Nostradamus and the Maya and asks: 'Is 2012 the year the cosmic clock finally winds down to zero days, zero hope?'"

Comment: Might as well get this out of the way before the hype starts: The world will not end on Dec. 21, 2012. In fact, students of the Bible will remind you that the world will not end at all. Because it is God's desire to redeem humanity through his Son, we will go on, there is no "end" for redeemed humanity. People who preach the end of the world just don't know their Bible. Blame the Mayans if you want to (incorrectly, as the article points out), but don't blame the Christians. We will all be here on New Year's Day 2013 and we will have a good laugh about it all. I'm sure that in the meantime there will be a lot of movie tickets sold, a lot of doom and gloom books and DVDs sold and TV preachers will make a fortune hyping the next doomsday on the calendar, but I'm sure that you, good reader, are far too smart to fall for that. The redeemed-human adventure has just begun, world without end. Amen.
