Ahhh...memories I love those heated debates we get into, even though they absolutely go nowhere

From a Christian (and Mormon) perspective, I don't deny that the year 2012 could be significant in some way, but I definitely do not believe that it's the year in which the apocalypse will occur (as I stated in my previous post).

Christian belief is clear on the matter and can be found in Matthew 24:42-44 and 1 Thessalonians 5:1-4. It states the day will come as a "thief in the night" and "no man knoweth". Although we might all have our estimates (and who knows how good the year 2012 is as an estimate), I don't think any of us know the exact time or day, and thus I do not believe 2012 has any substance as a date for the apocalypse.

It is true that it will be the start of a new 400 year baktun cycle on the Maya calendar. That is significant. It could mean other things too...things that I don't know because I have not extensively studied the Maya, but I don't find any evidence for an apocalyptic event.
