My take is the world will not end in 2012. Nonetheless, it's still a pointless debate. There is a reason that I feel this way and Garrison in an earlier post actually mentions it. The Bible says no man knows the hour, heck, Jesus didn't even know the hour. Therefore, if the Mayans said the world would end in 2012 then that would actually be them "knowing" in a sense that the world would end then. No, it won't.
