Here is a link for hundreds of end of the world predictions from 2800 BC to the present. http://www.abhota.info/end1.htm
Many people think they know just how the world will end, but every single prediction that people have made about the end of the world has turned out to be wrong. The 2012 hysteria is just an example of how people get themselves worked up and begin to see apocalyptic signs everywhere.
Some theorists try to weave a misinterpretation of the changing of the Mayan calender through their own creative translation of Nostradamus (another quack) and temper it with some vague reading of Revelations. Others created fantasy-math to try to prove why the LHC will make the world end in 2012. Never mind the fact that the LHC has been set back by several years since the first prediction was made, the "math" still seems to point to 2012, no matter the beginning point.
There are others who believe in fantasy planets that would be so close they could be observed by a child with a telescope.
It's all junk science, mysticism, and creative interpretations of very vague texts.
If you're worried about your salvation, just remember that the only end of the world predicted in the bible is clearly described as being totally unpredictable. There's something in there about "none shall know the time or the manner" or something like that. The fact that so many people seem to know just how it will go down, at the very least means that the god of the bible has nothing to do with it.
Visit JREF or check out anything by Michael Shermer or James Randi. They've both survived many end of the world predictions, and can teach you a thing or two about healthy skepticism.
