Final Essay

I researched the topic question will the world end in 2012. I learned things from both the media, and things I wasn’t previously aware of. I’d still like to look further into the faith point of view on this topic. I spent most of my time looking at the scientific, historical aspects but not a lot of time on the religious aspects of this topic. People with faith believe that the Earth’s last days will be because of the rapture. Many say there is evidence from the word, the bible. I’d like to look back and read more about that. I’d also like to further my research on the plant Nibiru and the likely hood of that planet actually making contact with Earth. The media today only explains about its recent findings with the Mayan long count calendar.

I have more than one favorite part about this project. I like the fact that it was done on a blog, even though it was a little hard to manage sometimes. I liked not handing in a paper, and being able to have video sources to watch instead of just reading. The project informed me about a topic that I have been interested in, and if I hadn’t had this project I wouldn’t have looked further into it. It gave me a new aspect of life, and a possible end just around the corner.

I believe now honestly, however, that the end of the world will not be in 2012. There are many people out there with different theories not only recent, but dating back to the Mayans. However, like I said, it dates back to the Mayans. I believe that if the world was going to end, it would have happened by now. Articles I researched have debunked any ideas that people have addressed today about the world ending. Like how a planet would hit Earth, scientists said that said planet has pulled away from its gravitational pull already, and has not hit or endangered Earth. The Sumerians and Mayans both have had previous said dates that the world would end, and they have come and gone. I believe it will be the same here.
