So, who do you believe more anyway? The Bible, or some crazy Mayans?

That celebration for them would have been like January 1, 2000 for us.
Sure enough, ours got ruined by charlatans predicting the end of the world (Y2k). In the same way, other charlatans (they are not the same charlatans, I checked) have invented a fake prediction of the end-of-the-world for the Mayan’s big day.
One problem is that the video that "proves it" was prepared by the same charlatans…
It is as if I pretended to be your uncle and, to "prove it" I would show you a video where I say "I am your uncle". Not a very convincing proof.
Some people say that it might be an Enlightenment. Some kind of New Age. Even that is not sure.
We are not even sure that the Mayans, when their empire was strong around a thousand years ago, really expected a New Age of Enlightenment. The only indication of that is a book that was written by a Spanish priest around 500 years ago (five centuries after the cultural decline had begun). Even that book is lost: we only have a translation that was done by another Spanish priest about 250 years ago. This book (the translation) is called Popol Vuh — it was in Chicago the last time I checked.
So it is difficult to say that the beliefs in this book really represented the beliefs of the Mayan people, or simply the hopes of the mountain villagers that the priest met, 500 years after the Mayan people started losing their empire.

But from a scientific point of view, none of the doomsday promises that have been made for 2012 will happen.
None.
Zero.
In fact, most of them are just plain impossible.
