its one of the few superstitions that i actually consider. i have no idea what will happen in 2012, if anything at all...but im not going to rule it out. those mayans were some smart folks, so im just waiting to see
Mayans were smart eh? Honestly I don't think man is too much smarter than his ancestors. Our societal/technological prowess is foundational, layering one on top of the other. Someone makes a discovery....others hone it, reshape it, improve, and so on. This is exactly why "writing" is the greatest invention man has ever made, bar none. Without the ability to put down ideas and techniques with precision, we wouldn't have hardly any of the things we take for granted.
Now back to the clever Mayans...
We all talk about the end of their calendar.... but tell me.... do you know what is the "beginning" of their calendar....meaning....when they thought the Earth began?
Hmmm??? 11,000 B.C.
Off by a few BILLION years....
So don't worry about their predetermined ending.

And some would say that the Mayans were predicting Man Kind's existence, in which case they were only off by 100,000 some odd years. Either way...Mayans were smart eh?

More precisely language was the greatest invention but writing is closely tied to it.
Without our big brains and the ability to think in the abstract our language would be limited as would our technology. However, it's that same ability that creates religion. One of the signs archeologists use to determine when hominids became really human, is whether there are signs such as that, either cave paintings and how they treated their dead, whether they had thoughts of an afterlife.
It's pretty interesting to me how science and religion are closely tied to each other by how our brains evolved.

yes, the end of an age. thats what they predicted. but i dont know...i think that there may be more to 2012 than people seem to think. im waiting. im not worrying about it or anything, but im waiting to see if anything happensThe Mayans don't predict the end of anything. It's just the end of their calendar.... like a record.... they would have simply flipped it....had their culture survived.
Not the end.... just the end of the calendar cycle....
But there si no harm in waiting for 2012....

He exists either outside time (where cause and effect do not operate), or within multiple dimensions of time (such that there is no beginning of gods plane of time) . Hence god is eternal having never been created.

Would you go out of your way to preach to me your idiotic religion? uhhmmmm.......................No , didnt think so.

I'll take the parachute, you have this magic wand...
See you at the bottom Harry Potter...
"My make believe friend will beat you up!"
You can't combat intelligence with insanity, but if it makes you feel better at the end of the day...
If one wanted to, one could track your ISP address, thus acquiring more evidence of your existence than you have of your "GOD".
Weird...
