For God sake dude, its just a movie. I was amazed when i read your blog. I cant believe you took it seriously.

Anyway, everyone knows the end will occur on June 22nd 2022 when that peanut shaped comet the size of New York smacks into the planet at 50,000 MPH. That should heat up the earths crust and then some!

I should know, Im helping to build one of the spacehips to escape it.

Whoosh!! I have to admit that the looming advent of 12/21/12 and the Hollywood versions that have come frothing and raving forth has brought me continuously to the Google search engine! That said, having lived in southern California 10 years in my early youth (and having lived through the San Francisco quake of 1989), I take a much more cautious approach when it comes to ANY theory, however absurd in the logical sense, about anything involving massive earthquakes and tsunamis! I was very pleased (and I must admit much more reassured) happening upon your result to my search! What does it say about humanity that we must probe constantly upon our most primal emotions? Simply said, we “love to be frightened” (so long as everything turns out all right at the end!) Just as in movies like Hallowe’en or 2012, as long as SOMEONE survives we can sleep at night (smile) I will have to look for Fingerprint of the Gods and read the book, but I will feel better knowing that it is already “debunked”. Thank You!

[...] movie based on a largely exploited, overhyped, and misinterpreted ancient calendar and featuring debunked and fallacious theories is obviously a good way to advertise and sensationalize your [...]

Wow!!! Well friends, I am neither a scholar or formally educated but by life experiences and some collage but I do believe in intelligent design and a god like entity ( Aliens perhaps? ). I’ll go out on a limb and say were pretty much all on the same page that EDC in theory should be taken into consideration as a true geological phenomenon; but what the real argument should be is in what speed it takes place and if this phenomenon could accelerate due to outside forces such as solar flares emitting radiation or Perhaps the displacement of heavy loads of land mass; such as the ice caps melting away leaving room for the polar land masses to rebound. This could possibly allow for the earth’s crust to move at rate that could not be calculated by science.
Answer #6 is right on point….
And the crazies running around holding the ” END IS NEAR ” signs, well, what a hoot it would be if they were right all along.
I say this to you, the scientist’s and theorist’s keep digging, leave no stone unturned… You are humanities true hero’s…BUT…

Has anyone taking into consideration that since the earth spins at such a high rate of speed that the molten core might actually be spinning right along with as well? after all lava is a heavy plastic fluid and if you were to fill a glass ball fill it with a heavy plastic fluid such as motor oil and spin in the effect will be that the oil would gravitate to the center walls of the ball and spin along with but at a slower speed…. HA!
As the earth spins the lava eats away at the layers of the plates, the plates fall causing the shifts ( Tsunamis anyone? ), the mass of lava builds causing pressure, the pressure releases in volcanic activity and the process repeats….
So EDC is a formidable theory after all !!!

Having studied Mr. Hapgood’s theories on polar drift and polar shift and being a non brain trust of our society (but slightly scholarly), I could offer some something to support an alternative way for ECD…but life’s too short.

I agree with #7…6 is the best comment (I did say I’m not a brain trust)

Hi, have just seen your video and I do agree that the 2012 theory is being pushed by certain organisations to exact some sort of agenda, can you tell me your views on why mammoths were found in Sibera, some with food still in their mouths and undigested food in their stomachs, if not a sudden pole shift, what else could have caused this?

#6 is the best comment here as of yet.

I agree that the movie has some flaws, even the title(the so-called mayan prophecy) didn’t really had any relevance to the story of the movie besides a few lines mentioned by a few characters. But I find it silly that people argue over a hollywood movie. Come on guys, it’s just fiction…for entertainment. Don’t take it seriously.

Oh wait, don’t tell me you’re the same people who argued about Priory of Scion and Opus Dei in Da Vinci Code and Iluminati in Angels in Demons? In that case I suppose the next topic would be New Moon…lol. Fact: Vampires doesn’t exists but Dracula has…. not as a vampire but as a romanian feudal lord.

The point is if you’re really a mature person, you wouldn’t believe easily in what you see in movies. Only children do that.

kylegellatly is spewing exactly the kind of non-empirical rubbish that allows people to believe the Bush administration when they said climate change wasn’t real or when school districts refuse to teach evolution without also teaching creationism. Nothing less than the downfall of rational thought. An idea that scientific theory is nothing more than an opinion that can be easily dismissed. (Like when Hancock says radiocarbon dating is an “opinion”…)

Understand what it takes to prove something within the scientific community. You can’t, as Hancock often does, explain first that you don’t understand something and then invent a half-baked idea to explain it with no basis in testable scientific method. And then you certainly shouldn’t be offended when the scientific community doesn’t take you seriously, or wonder why no scientist bothers to take the time to publish why you are wrong. Science is full of new ideas too… there isn’t some “mainstream” community shunning new ideas. On the contrary, scientists delight in hearing new things and then trying to prove them wrong. You don’t really find this in Hapgood or Hancock because they never published anything. Nothing in a scientific journal that is. Books geared toward new-agers don’t count.

In case anyone wants to read it, here is a link to an ACTUAL GEOLOGIST refuting some of Hancock’s and Hapgood’s claims. Good stuff, and kylegellatly, I would love to read how you refute this.
