Quote:The "cyclical interpretation" you refer to does indeed have both a begining and an end (multiple beginings and ends actually), each begining and end marking the coming of a new "age" (or world).
December 21st, 2012 is the "end" of this "age" (and perhaps the begining of another).
Sure. But that is no different from the Christian concept of a Millenium. It is the next large unit. It is not, except for the kooks, the end of the world, the coming of the messiah, or anything like that.
