2012 is supported by many civilisations as the end of the world.
Howover these civilisations didnt last long enough to find out.
Relying on past ignorance to explain the future is not wise.
You know, I believe we can take advantage of this you know. Why don't we start taking bets that the world won't end? Surely who ever truely believes in the 2012 would have no problem putting their money where their mouths are?
We could make a fortune out of this. If we are wrong, we all die horribly, if we are right, we live big.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
