Hi Erin;

Thank you for the kind words! A lot of people have put a lot of time and effort into this site, just for people like you and your children.

Hi Erin,
Thanks for your post. As Tomy said, none of those people or cultures ever predicted anything bad for 2012. Nostradamus and the Hopi never mentioned 2012 at all. The Maya mentioned it only once, which would seem to indicate that it didn't hold any great importance for them. The inscription is partially worn off, but they said that one of their gods would descend into something. There was no dire warning of the world ending. All of that has been invented by the 2012 crackpots to scare people into buying their books.
The Hysteria Channel has traded in their former credibility for higher ratings. They hardly ever show actual history anymore. The sensationalistic 2012 and Nostradamus nonsense draws more viewers. If I were you, I wouldn't let my kids watch it. Children are much more inclined to believe what they see on TV and the internet. They haven't yet learned to distinguish BS from reality.

I wondered if there was really any scientific support to the end of the world occurring on this date.

Really? No…

It seems like the history channel uses asrologers and numerologists, but even those who try to talk about scientific criticisms always say something like= you never know!

They use writers too (I am about to see Geryl in History Channel documentary about 2012).

I think what really made me wonder was that Nostradamus, the Mayans, and the Hopi were all referenced for evidence. Was it truly possible for more than one culture in different times to agree on the same date?

Is possible, but this is not the case for 2012, because none of them predicted it.

I worry about my 10 year old seeing the show on the history channel and I am so glad I found this site so I can show it to her should the topic come up.

Well, you at least know a good website to help her.

Thanks

You're welcome.

I love the history channel. When the kids aren't around and one of those 2012 shows are on, I watch them because I'm intrigued. I watched one of those shows today.

I'm taking some classes toward an advanced degree and am enrolled in physical science for an elective. My instructor made a comment on a discussion board that maybe in some experimental areas, ignorance may be bliss. I brought up that maybe in some instances this may be the truth as in the December 21, 2012 claim. The more I thought about it, the more I thought that I may want to know more.

I wondered if there was really any scientific support to the end of the world occurring on this date. It seems like the history channel uses asrologers and numerologists, but even those who try to talk about scientific criticisms always say something like= you never know! I think what really made me wonder was that Nostrodamus, the Mayans, and the Hopi were all referenced for evidence. Was it truly possible for more than one culture in different times to agree on the same date? I think I took it more for entertainment, but the curiosity was there. So research on the internet ensued.

This site looked pretty legitimate with all of the scientists with astronomy and astrobiology and all those other "ologies" that I am glad there are people intelligent enough to understand all of them. It sure isn't my area of expertise! All of the information and debunking made complete sense to me and sound so much more concrete than what is on TV.

I worry about my 10 year old seeing the show on the history channel and I am so glad I found this site so I can show it to her should the topic come up. I am relieved as well because that small part of me that wondered "Is it possible?" has been snuffed out.

My younger child will not have to struggle to survive after the ripe old age of 3! LOL! : )

Thanks !!!!!!
Erin
