Here's the thing about the Mayan Calendar thing though, their calendar and writings never said it would be the end of the world, or that mankind would cease to exist. What was written was that it would be the end of one life cycle and the beginning of another, what that life cycle would be like, no indication was given. Looking back over the last couple weeks, and the drastic things that have happened and are happening, a very distinct change in our everyday world is almost a certainty. So don't be so quick to dismiss what the Mayans were trying to say.
