1. End of the World? Oct 21, 2011 Universe Destroyed? Dec 21, 2012 Collision with Planet X?

2. What does Science Say? Has anything been observed or measured that says doomsday is reasonable? Not so far! Science only can speak to those things that can be observed or measured. That is why our observations must be so precise and accurate.

3. Can Scientific claims be Trusted? If not trusted, why do we look to see if a claim is “scientifically tested”? Science is a search for TRUTH that we can find by looking at what happens around us.

4. Observe/Measure is the Key to Scientific Knowledge Science cannot comment on things we cannot observe. BUT science can comment on the observations that are used to support belief in the things themselves we cannot observe. for instance: an invisible ET lives next door - Observation?

5. Science Is Not Always Very Definite On a Statement Science many times talks of probability (for instance: 75% chance of rain) Even though people would like a definite statement, the likelihood of something is often the best science can do. It is not honest to rule out the other possibilities - even though these may have almost zero chance of occurring.

6. Observed Patterns Make Good Predictions Science makes good predictions of what to expect based on what has already been observed or measured. People also make good predictions on real life problems in the same way. We look at what has happened in the past in similar situations. eating a certain food may make us sick, so …

7. So What About October 21, 2011’s Destruction of the Universe? There is no evidence to support this idea – nothing from the past indicates this will occur. Previous predictions on the topic have not been too successful : Y2K (2000)…

8. Surely the December 21, 2012 Doomsday has a Better Chance Observations to support : NONE !!! Nothing special about the recent buildup of solar activity Nor any evidence for a black hole or Planet X (or Nibiru) heading this way The end of the long cycle Mayan calendar is just the beginning of another long cycle

9. Science Cannot Support Ideas That Do Not Come from Observation For Science: Extraordinary Claims Will Always Require Extraordinary Evidence/Observation And for the doomsday stories there is no evidence of any kind. PERIOD!
