Debunked Doomsday Predictions and the Preparation that Really Matters

James Emery White

According to the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, Dec. 21, 2012, is the end-date of 

a 5,125-year-long cycle.

What might be called a “New Age” interpretation is that this date will inaugurate a new era marked by massive spiritual transformation.

Or it will bring the catastrophic end of the world.

As in the arrival of the next solar maximum, Earth being swallowed by a black hole at the center of the galaxy or the collision with another planet.

The Eternal Earth

Henry Morris, Ph.D.

“Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever” (Psalm 104:5).

Secular astronomers and geologists have become increasingly concerned that the earth might be shattered some day by a collision with a swarm of asteroids, or even with a star. Apart from this, they say, the sun is going to burn out (or maybe explode!), and this would also terminate the earth. Possibly some future nuclear war will set off a chain reaction which will disintegrate the earth.

We can allay their fears. God has assured us that both the Heavens and the earth will abide forever. He is the Creator, and, being omniscient, He does not make mistakes.
