Wikipedia on magnetic pole shifting
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomagnetic_reversal
Last time it happened was 780,000 years ago. I barely remember it happening but is surely the reason for my knee pain.
Geologists have found it is random, some periods as long as 10 million years between reversal, some periods 2x in 50,000 years.
The magnetic pole is presently 11 degrees off the axis and heading northwest, slowly, towards Siberia. We may experience a compass use surcharge from some enterprising Russians in a few decades.
Not much real danger coming in three years from crossing the glactic plain but it sure makes for good science fiction - that movie trailer looks great.

Whatever else happens, I bet New York gets it in the neck again. It seems to in every other global catastrophe movie....tsunamis, big freeze, meteorites, comets, aliens with attitude.....

Oh of course. Michael Bay, Roland Emmerich, all these guys, love to destroy icons, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building the White House.
By the way, how can an Aircraft carrier do a roll over ontop of the white house when RE already blew it up in ID4?

Tomasz,
Mayan December 21, 2012 (or, by others, October 28, 20011 – see “GMT correlation”) is not predicting the end of the world; it’s the end of the current calendar CYCLE, the START of a new ERA.
For global catastrophe, preferably see the Revelation, the last book of the Bible!TIG wrote:
“Eat, drink and be merry…!”
Voila a comparable Bible text: “Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth. Walk in the ways of your heart and the sight of your eyes. But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.” (Ecclesiastes 11:9)Pete (solo) wrote:
“Is the clockticking on the end of the world?”
Yes, it is! Please verify: “…In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts." These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit.” (Jude 1:18-19)
Our necessity is a Spiritual revolution, rather than an “Intellectual Revolution”…!Alan,
Geomagnetic reversal isn’t a major problem for animals to navigate, becouse the magnetic field is extra for them…Cornel

Cornel, I know well this won't be the end, because have read the Revelation recently. For me, it is the hardest to understand chapter of the 'Good book' . I find more appropriate to quote Luke in the case of events shown in the trailer.
@unknownuser said:
"When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for such things must happen first, but it will not immediately be the end." Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be powerful earthquakes, famines, and plagues from place to place; and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from the sky. "Before all this happens, however, they will seize and persecute you, they will hand you over to the synagogues and to prisons, and they will have you led before kings and governors because of my name.
@unknownuser said:
"There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on earth nations will be in dismay, perplexed by the roaring of the sea and the waves. People will die of fright in anticipation of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these signs begin to happen, stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand." He taught them a lesson. "Consider the fig tree and all the other trees. When their buds burst open, you see for yourselves and know that summer is now near; in the same way, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.
The new trailer is impressive. It is amazing what computer graphics can achieve.

From Proverbs 3:25 Do not be afraid of sudden panic,
or of the ruin of the wicked, when it comes;
[26] for the LORD will be your confidence
and will keep your foot from being caught. -
Keep an eye on the oceans, and when the dolphins sing this:
Dolphins: [singing So long, and thanks for all the fish / So sad that it should come to this / We tried to warn you all, but, oh, dear / You may not share out intellect / Which might explain your disrespect / For all the natural wonders that grow around you / So long, so long, and thanks for all the fish! The world's about to be destroyed / There's no point getting all annoyed / Lie back and let the planet dissolve around you / Despite those nets of tuna fleets / We thought that most of you were sweet / Especially tiny tots and your pregnant women / So long, so long, so long, so long, so long! So long, so long, so long, so long, so long! So long, so long, and thanks for all the fish!/ If I had just one last wish / I would like a tasty fish!/If we could just change one thing / We would all have learnt to sing!/Come one and all / Man and mammal / Side by side / In life's great gene pool!/ So long, so long, so long, so long, so long / So long, so long, so long, so long / So long, so long and thanks for all the fish!]
It's time to Panic.
(no I'm not crazy, just this end of the world talk gets me thinking about 'The Hitchikers guide to the galaxy)

The end of the world is scheduled for about 5 billion years from now. The end of our tenancy of it, however, might be something entirely different...either because we are extinct, have left and closed the door behind us, or have eveolved into something as different from us as we are from an amoeba.

Thanks. I've put it on my Outlook calendar.

The contradiction of your post is quite alarming. You say "The real world needs only kindness to survive" yet your whole post is not at all kind to anyone who may differ with your point of view. I hope in the future you can find a kinder, gentler way of presenting yourself.
Peace.

Where did he mention survivng?
-
Hmm..Guys what u are afraid of? Al people die at once ..sooner or later all things have an end..when will be that end??Only God knows..Mark 13:32 "But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."
Anyway all of us will have everlasting life,the exception is that ones will be without God and the others(the real christians-the real sons of God ;being an authentic christian doesn t mean to be religious) will live with God.Making a small parallel think like living in a world without kindness,love,light,true,faith,righteousness,mercifulness(each of these represent God) and living in a world with all these.And btw there will be nothing that u have seen in this life,and even think about -But, as it is written, "What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him,"1 Corinthians 2:9.
And yet all people who have these qualities(kindness,love,light,true,faith,righteousness,mercifulness) are those who still keep this planet standing;and who are those people(and in who and/or what they trust)?
Yes i feel offended,not because i am a christian but because the christians are misunderstood.What people don t get it s that God is a "God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and right is He." Deuteronomy 32:4.
And btw there will be a very visible sign that The End is close...The Lifting up of the christians..yeah i know u don t even believe in God,but,if in ur lifetime this will happen,remember that The End is close.
And yes i know you believe i m a fool but i chose to be a fool in ur eyes than being without fear of God because " The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,.." Proverbs 9:10;so
18 Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their craftiness," 1 Corinthians 3:18-19
And yet i hope to see you in Heaven living our everlasting life which can t be boring because "But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." 2 Peter 3:8 .
We can t limit God in our imagination.He is not a god he is GOD.
And now i want to answer to the first question i wrote: U are afraid of finding that you are fighting against God.
Have a good evening.God bless you!Elisei
PS:Sorry for bad phrases.
PPS:And btw the Earth will end up in fire!!--> 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow about his promise as some count slowness, but is forbearing toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burned up. -
I like u as well but i know u are a smart man,is it enough for u just to live for dying?
If i have been born just for dying after n years what is the point of life,i m not much different than an animal. And yet,don t know why u feel so offended by me?Did i do something that i m not aware?
Ecclesiastes 3 1 For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: 2 a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; 3 a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace. 9 What gain has the worker from his toil? 10 I have seen the business that God has given to the sons of men to be busy with. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time; also he has put eternity into man's mind, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. 12 I know that there is nothing better for them than to be happy and enjoy themselves as long as they live; 13 also that it is God's gift to man that every one should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil. 14 I know that whatever God does endures for ever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it; God has made it so, in order that men should fear before him.With all respect,Elisei.

I wish to tell u more but because i respect u,i will stop responding.Anyway i wish u/all a happy life.And yet i don t know why u feel offended?
My freedom is to be as/what i am!!hehe
Cheers! -
As a true dolphin that i am, i must say that it is a lie.
We are not singing that song, the one that Solo points in his post.
We knew about that song because our ancestors told us. We learned that "we" sang it years and years ago, when the Flood came.
But not now. -
Re. Modelhead affirmation: “Your God has nothing to offer me...I have it already.”

There will be a new heaven and a new earth and the actual ones will pass away (they will disappear)…! (see, please, Revelation 21:1)
-
“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.” (1 John 2:16-17)
… or (other version):
“For everything in the world - the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does - comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.” (1 John 2:16-17)

Modelhead, let the reader understand!
“God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God. God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin. Therefore, as the Scriptures say, If you want to boast, boast only about the LORD.” (1 Corinthians 1:28-31)

This looks like fun, can I play also?

Modelhead,
behold several examples of true religion:“Not everyone who calls me their Lord will get into the kingdom of heaven. Only the ones who obey my Father in heaven will get in.” (Matthew 7:21)
“Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.” (James 1:27)
“For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from good works is dead.” (James 2:26)
“… to walk worthily of the Lord unto all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;” (Colossians 1:10)

hmmph!, there you go again quoting from your book of parables, also it's amazing how the fundamentally religious types are drawn like moths to a flame whenever impending doom is a subject, strange bunch y'all are.
