The Mayan Calendar has left us with a profound mystery. Acadamia, science and the clergy have labored long over the question as to why the calendar was extrapolated into the 21st century and why, on December 21st, 2012, it abruptly ends?

Novelists are taking up the torch as speculation increases and theories abound. From the field of science, the observation is purely clinical. On, or about December 21st of 2012, a celestial event will occur that only transpires every 26,000 years: the galaxy will be in total alignment. This may have dire consequences for our weather, and might drastically induce earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis. No one really knows. It's safe to say the planet has endured previous upheavals and will probably endure once more.

The impact on population is not clear to anyone at this point. However, it is believed by science that the Mayan Calendar, which is based on a 26,000 year cycle, will return to the beginning of its cycle.

Acadamia has remained outside the argument but confesses to the problem as "interesting." On the other hand, religion has offered some stunning hypotheses that range from the very grim to the quintessential era for mankind.

According to biblical prophecy, the "end of days" will see a great war between the legions of Satan and the followers of our Lord. The winner will rule the world and everyone in it.

The more optimistic prophecy is that on December 21, 2012, mankind will enter the "Sabbath Rest," the seventh day of creation. The Bible says that God created the heavens and the Earth in six days, then rested. Many theologists believe that 26,000 of our years form one of God's days, and that the days of creation may not have been consecutive. The end of the current cycle may be a harbinger of the start of that seventh day, an era of unprecedented peace among men.

According to many Christians, Jesus Christ will return to the earth to lead his chosen people to heaven. These people will also include people who have been long dead.

With two plus years to ponder the situation, it will be "interesting" attempting to decide which debate will survive.
