Hi Katie,
It looks like you've bounced back and forth so many times this evening that I hardly know where to start.
It sounds as if you are in no shape emotionally to be starting a family right now. That's just my opinion from reading your posts. Not because of 2012, as there isn't a shred of evidence to even suggest that 2012 will be anything other than an ordinary year. I just think you should get yourself settled down first.
Since we have all the 2012 claims covered at length, which you can pick from the menu at the left, you should do some reading. Just saying that you're afraid the world will end in 2012 is awfully general. We have written about 100 pages on the various 2012 subjects. That is a bit too large to fit into the discussion forums.
No one can ever prove 100.00000000000….% that the world won't end in 2012 or any year chosen at random. We can tell you that there is no known threat that could end the world any time in the near future. This is not just an opinion. It is scientific fact. There is nothing to distinguish 2012 from any other year.
The sites you've been reading, that you think sound scientific, are just wild speculation by people who don't have any scientific background. They are people who have books, DVDs, "survival kits," space in nonexistent shelters, and other assorted junk to sell. One of them "hears" messages from aliens in her head. One got an honorary PhD for attending a UFO convention. Some are delusional and some are just lying. Anyone who says the world is going to end soon wants to sell you something.
What makes it difficult to give you proof is that you don't seem to fear any specific thing. We have already proven that each claim is false. If you would look through the menu and read the pages covering the things you fear, then you could ask questions about specific claims. Here is a quick rundown.
No one made any prophecies about 2012, not the Maya, the Bible, Nostradamus, or anyone else. This was all invented by the crackpots with the doomsday sites.
The Mayan calendar doesn't end. It just ends the current cycle and begins the next one.
There is no polar reversal taking place in 2012. The geographic (rotational) poles can't reverse. Our page on Rotational Pole Shift gives you the calculations showing why.
A geomagnetic reversal takes from hundreds to thousands of years to complete. The only effect would be that compasses would point south when it was completed. Even if one could begin by 2012, we wouldn't notice anything. The magnetic poles have nothing to do with rotation or with positioning of land masses.
There is no planetary alignment in 2012. When we do have what people call planetary alignments, that is only how we see them from our view here on Earth. They are nowhere near being actually aligned in space. A true alignment from the Sun outward can't happen because the planets' orbits are not on the same plane. If such an alignment could and did happen, it would raise the tides by less than the thickness of a human hair.
The only galactic alignment occurring in 2012 is the approximate alignment that occurs on the solstices every year.
The black hole at the center of the galaxy is 26,000 light years away. We are not moving toward it.
We have had several solar flares lately. The only effect is some pretty aurorae (northern and southern lights). The worst they can do is affect some satellites or electrical grids.
Nibiru doesn't exist. It was made up by Zecharia Sitchen from his misinterpretation of Sumerian writings about Jupiter.
There is no comet or asteroid of any dangerous size headed for Earth.
The movie 2012 is fiction.
Zombies don't exist.
Well, my little dogs are begging me to feed them, so I'd better do it. Please do some reading and then ask about anything where you need clarification.
