(V): "You understand now why there have been so many fake end of the worlds predicted."

I'm not aware of anyone who believed the Mayan calendar running out meant the end of the world. I'm aware of people implying there were people who believed it, but I would have to take that on faith as I haven't heard of or from anyone who actually believed it. I'm sure some people believed it because they heard skeptics talking about it, but I'm inclined to believe that story started with the skeptics. However, if as you say there have been many 'fake' end of the world predictions, doesn't that imply the existence of a 'genuine' prediction? If you believe the world will come to an end, then perhaps you could enlighten us with a genuine prediction. Or are you talking about something else?
