Mathematically speaking, the Mayan calendar had to have an ending. Every calendar man-made will have an ending. When New Years rolls around, do we cry out rapture? Well, we have in the past while waiting for the years 1000AD and 2000 (Y2K). Nothing happened except several reported suicides, panic in the streets, and then life goes on as normal after the first. Time is a man made concept, man cannot predict the end of time. Hence, a calendar created by man cannot pinpoint the end of time, because time only exists within the minds of man.

The Mayan Long Count calendar will simply “reset” itself when it hits 13.0.0.0.0. It will return to 0.0.0.0.1. When the trip odometer reaches 999.9 on an automobile, does the car stop dead to never run again? What if the mileage were to reach 999,999. Would that matter aside from a quick milestone picture? Do people realize an automobile is a lot more complicated than a calendar? The Mayan’s were not the only ancient civilization to master arts, mathematics, and astronomy. Take a look at the technology the Greeks held at one point.

Many ancient civilizations had their own tales of the end. Many predictions have passed their visioned date and several actually came to fruition, but we are still here. White Buffalo have been born and bombs have been dropped. Several Antichrist candidates have been born and rained fire across a continent of their choosing multiple times, but they have been proven to be only human. This planet can withstand a beating, but mankind cannot.

Even if there were a God, He obviously knows that we are a greedy, panicky, self-centered, arrogant, murderous, cannibalistic, easily frightened, wild pack of animals. We were created in His image. Another cheerful thought is that there is no great destiny for man except to evolve our mind, body, and civilization until the day our time on this rock ends to usher in an era of another dominate species to rule the Earth. It has happened before and those that know their history know that history will always repeat itself.
