It doesn't appear that the Mayans predicted the end of the earth after all. Despite all the evidence and constant shouting of believers, the endless movies and tv shows supporting the "what if" claims and disaster this and disaster that...12/21/12 came and went for the most part, quietly. Not to say that the earth is safe from some sort of magnetic shift in the near future or that the earth won't suddenly tilt on its axis, but it is just another reminder that we are merely guests on this giant blue marble.
As for the religious side of things, in the scriptures The Lord promised that when he did come again, it would be known only to Him and none other. There would be no prophecy, no illumination, no warning written in stone or the sky to tell us of His arrival that would mark the beginning of the change. So stop looking for a sign to tell you, to warn you that your time on this earth is coming to an end, because honestly...we are all living on borrowed time that none of us have the ability to pay back. Be thankful for each day, be kind to one another, show mercy and love each other.
The time will come when humans will no longer be "top dog" on the planet, when we no longer have the perception that we control our fate...but until then, there is still time to save what's left before all we know is gone.
