By my old research on this. I didn't even read that article. But if I remember correctly. The reason they predicted the world to end with the Mayan calender is because the calender ends at that exact moment. It doesn't go any further for some odd reason like ours could. That's the reason they predict that.
Now, the bad part on this. With the Bible in play, everything leading up to the moment when Jesus returns for the second and last time. Should be around that date. This is going along with the temple that is being built and a certain king will take his place on the thrown in the temple. There is alot more that I won't go into.
I think that sucks if it would end at that time. It doesn't give me much time to do things. I'll be a whole 31y/o. Unless I don't qualify for heaven. Then I get my second and final chance but it's suppose to be hell. By the book of revelations and some other books in the bible, those years are suppose to be the worse times then anything. But that's a whole religion speech. Just the whole thought sucks.
