Quite interesting - Mayan day/nights and earth periods

[3DMonkey]

OK I admit I haven't read this entire thread, so someone may have already posted this, but here is a discussion that had a lot of excellent points about the 2012 vs 2011 debate:

And...I have a reeeeeeeeaaaaaalllly dumb question.

Why, exactly, are we granting so much validity to the Mayan Calendar anyway? I mean, just who were the Mayans? Are they to be trusted? Didn't they, like, sacrifice babies and stuff?

I totally admit to being very ignorant here, but just how are their predictions any different from, say, Biblical prophecies? (Aside from being way more technically intelligent, of course.) But do we know anything about the polarity of the Mayans? Is the emperor wearing any clothes?

Also, does anyone else notice that this debate seems very similar to the debates among theologians about Bible doctrines?

Yes, I have noticed it. (ashamed I know so much about the bible prophecy endtime game/raquet)

From the information of various documentaries I've watched about Mayan history, I have deduced that the different Mayan cities themselves engaged in this this debate. Disagreed about the dates themselves, they did. Thus leading to war... And the outrageous things like what you summed up with the phrase "killing babies and such".
