Even though this is an old question to ask on yahoo answers, do you think the world will end in 2012

Third. The Mayan calendar is just that, a calendar. It talks about the ending of one cycle and the beginning of another. All cultures have cycles. The one that has had the most influence in western society is the Zodiac. Where the ancients believed certain constellations ruled the heavens for a period of time. When the era of Taurus was going. Religions worshiped bulls. Even in the Bible you can see how Moses got upset because the Israelites were worshiping a bull. Then came the cycle of the Ram. Aries Constellation. Religions started to worship Rams and sacrifice Rams and blow big Ram horns. Then came the time for the fish to rule. The Pisces constellation. With it came the association of fish to Jesus Christ. Now we are entering the Constellation of Aquarius. Thus a new era. Maybe a new religion will arise or an old one will start worshiping water. It can be seen that now many people are talking about fresh water as a very precious commodity. Politicians have picked up on this trend and Hollywood. Hollywoood with movies about giant floods and some politicians wanting to become new prophets talking about melting of the poles and rising water in the oceans because of warming. This my friend is due to the fact that Aquarius is starting to be the ruling Zodiac in heaven and people have started to worship water. But as you can see. The world has not ended. Just the ruling constellation.
I hope this information is helpful to you. Cheers.
