It does not.
One of several Mayan calendars is the Long Count calendar, which is reset to day 0 every 1,872,000 days or 7057.5 years. The next reset date, by some calculations, is December 21, 2012. This is not a prediction of the end of the world.
These predictions are scare tactics, conspiracy theories, and chances to make money from books and movies.
Ever since the Y2K and 6/6/6 (June 6, 2006) End of the World scenarios did not pan out, the scare mongers, conspiracy theorists, book sellers, and television executives have been touting the 2012 End of the World scenario. When 2012 does not happen either, I am sure they will think of something else.
“But of that day or hour, no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come.” (Mark 13:32-33)
Jesus told us in no uncertain terms that we were not to know when the end of the world would come but that we were always to be ready.
The early Christian Church thought that Jesus was going to return at any moment. Only after a couple of centuries did the Church realize that it may be 2,000 or 4,000 or 8,000 years before Jesus returns.
The Catholic Church wisely follows Jesus’ advice and teaches that each of us should live as if we will meet our maker in the next ten minutes and that we need to work to make the world a better place for our 100 X great-grandchildren.
Do not worry about the end of the world. Trust God to make sure everything happens to plan. Just be ready to meet God at any time.

SOME people, not most, think that the world will end in 2012.
But, if we play our cards right, we should all still be alive in three years to find out first hand.
I can two ways in which 2012 relates to the world today.
First, its still in the future so we know that it will arrive.
Second, because we know, we can act to plan for its arrival.
Anything beyond that is not something that I am capable of answering.
Is God going to snap his fingers and end it all?
The only way this world is going to end is by us destroying it with all this pollution.
I haven’t seen the poll where most people think the world would end in 2012. Could you provide a link? I want to see if it was scientifically done.
Nothing… it’s just another year
