Poll: Will Dec. 21 Really Be the End of the World?

The Mayans may or may not have predicted the apocalypse will occur on Dec. 21. Do you buy it?

Time for another Richfield Patch Poll, and it's simple this time: Do you expect the world to end on Dec. 21, 2012? Apocalypse in the house ... and it's scheduled to obliterate us all Friday. Seriously though, even NASA is getting in on the action. The agency created a page on its website devoted to debunking the Mayan apocalypse idea—not least because the Mayans never predicted any such thing. The date is simply the end of one time period that simply starts over. Or so they think. “Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years, and credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012,” NASA wrote.
