I recall there being some teevision program a few years back that my mother was watching. I overheard it say something along the lines of this "book" something or another has predicted every event that has happened to the planet earth for as long as people can remember, all the way from Christ to the Twin Towers. This book predicted, that in 2009 there would be a massive earthquake in western North America that would cause California to disconnect from the other states, and drift off into the ocean. This book also predicted that in 2012, the world would come to an end, and it will be the day of "Judgement".

Is this the same reason I keep hearing about 2012 being armageddon?
