Galaxies may be colliding
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA, has issued a statement as of today regarding the forecasts for year 2012, especially as seen in the upcoming movie of the same name. NASA, in addressing the premise of the film, states that if a planet-sized object were approaching Earth on a collision course that would occur in 2012, the object would by now be visible in our skies. Since that is not the case, they discount the possibility of an impending planetary collision.
In the NASA article, the history of the 2012 theories goes back to initial theories that "set the disaster for May 2003, but when nothing happened the date was moved forward to the Winter Solstice in 2012 to coincide with the end of a cycle of the ancient Mayan calendar."
This sounds suspiciously like the recurrent theme in the Church that has jumped from century to century predicting the Coming of the Kingdom. It is clear that both Jesus and Paul believed that the Coming was imminent, and as years turned into decades, the major scandal in the Church became the consternation when the Kingdom failed to appear. Today there is still a movement hanging onto the theory that God must return soon to inflict indescribable suffering on humanity before the end of the world occurs. This bizarre twist on the concept of a loving God gets nothing from me.
And as I mentioned before, the "end" of the Mayan calendar is like the odometer in a car; the years move through the 1 - 9 cycle, zero out and another cycle of years begins. Therefore the year 2013 will be the next "Year One" in the Mayan calendar on their New Year's Day. But there is another idea that is kicking around, which requires another article.
