This page is for absolute Newcomers - Noobs - Newbies - those who are really new to or just finding out about 2012 Theories. Incidentally, being a NOOB isn't any sort of a "put-down" here and I'm glad - as I'm sure Blake Hall is, too - that you have found your way here so you can start to observe the 800 Day Countdown to December 21 2012 and learn about many things.
First of all, I'd like to explain why many people truly believe that studying 2012 Theories is important.
Looking into these theories is important mainly because THEY ARE NOT NEW! Sure, there are some new-er theories, such as the Web Bot Project details (see the "Doomsday" page), but most cultures and ages of civilizations have had deeply held beliefs in "end of the world" theories.
Studying these theories can give people a much more tolerant view of "cultures" and "people" in general - and also some insight and knowledge about technology and science that people might not pay attention to unless they become interested in 2012 theories.
An absolutely MAJOR reason why learning about 2012 theories involves being able to use critical thinking. Frankly, there are MANY bung-award (crappy) theories that sound plausible and part of what you'll have to do in reading/learning about theories in general - is USE YOUR CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS...
Heck - people have DIED in MASS CULT SUICIDES because of/in relation to these theories. ie: Peoples Temple (Jonestown, Guyana - 1978), Solar Temple (Quebec, Canada 1994-1997), Heaven's Gate (California, USA - 1997). None of the events that people from Peoples Temple, Solar Temple or Heaven's Gate that were said to be all encompasing threats to life came to pass and the world did not end as these "Believers" thought.
IT IS DEFINITELY A TIME FOR CRITICAL THINKING RIGHT NOW
In my humble (or some might think, not so humble) opinion, 2012, "end-world" and related theories are NOT entirely about the event of "the end of the world" - they're about culture, ethics, morals, behaviors, knowledge, and unfortunately, are often about power struggles, manipulation, insanity... so it's a really good idea to LOOK CLOSELY into these theories, use critical thinking, and gain knowledge that can be useful for LIVING RIGHT NOW...
IF THERE IS AN END-DAY COMING... HOW DO YOU WANT SO SPEND THE REST OF YOUR DAYS STARTING FROM RIGHT THIS MOMENT? RIGHT NOW?
*** NOTE: Naturally, this page is also under construction - as is pretty much the whole blog - it's a COUNTDOWN blog, so there's always a lot to do here... I will be back in step by step fashion to add to this "Newcomers" page - to add more than the rant type words above and submit some real historical details about "end-world" prophecy, doomsday theories, 2012 theories that will be easier for newcomers to understand... thx for having some patience with me.
* Until this page is up to par (by mid-November), please see the Glossary Page and Doomsday page for more information. The information on the pages, thus far, is written with "easy of understanding" in mind. I have tried to leave out complicated and uncommon terminology so that anyone can understand the topics and details. A few arcane tidbits are going to be explained in the future but 2012 Theories invariably end up dealing in arcane texts, so you might come across words that aren't that familiar to you.... if you have problems, please to email me and I will update with an appropriate definition onto the Glossary page. I would appreciate any reader help in letting me understand how easy or difficult the content is on these pages and the blog, in general.
