Where are the new myths coming from? Specifically 2012 and the ozone hole? I guess global cooling, warming on Mars and the MWP have been beat to death, but the 2012 nonsense is really having some bad effect on the young.

No Gengi.

Yes I understand the origins of both, I%26#039;m just wondering why they are suddenly a common post in this section.

Yes it%26#039;s a question. I know nobody will know for sure, but I%26#039;m interested in peoples thoughts. Could it be the kids themselves being that sloppy about their knowledge base?

No offense intended Byderule. I just happen to believe that if you use a lunar calendar certain dates will tend to fall out and that%26#039;s one of them. Solar calendars weren%26#039;t widely used until fairly recently.

Oh and Byderule, I wasn%26#039;t passing judgement of the 2012 thing itself. I do think mixing it up with physical science is nonsense, but to each his own. Seeing people attribute it to the scientists or %26quot;believers%26quot; is troubling because its a red herring.

  • Well, today%26#039;s youth in America are wrapped up in the 80%26#039;s for some un-Godly reason...most likely it%26#039;s their parents%26#039; nostalgia kicking in. The big environmental bogeyman of the 1980s was the hole in the ozone...so you%26#039;ve got indoctrinated parents sharing their knowledge with indoctrinated kids. What a great education system we have here!

    The 2012 nonsense has been around for decades. Has to do with a dead culture%26#039;s calender ending that year. It%26#039;s only gathering steam as we get closer to it, just like the year 2000 was a %26quot;frightening%26quot; year. It was a big, round number! Oh no!!
    the nonsense as you call it was started
    ,over 2000 years ago

    so yes that is new compared to the real history
    of humanity.
