      Though the mayans predicted that the world would end last year, the truth is that there was no scientific evidence to suggest that it would. And also, making a calendar that accurate so far back in time is pretty unlikely, especially given that they didn’t have any computers!
      Though the world will end some day (billions of years from now!) we will not be around to see it as a species, so there’s nothing to worry about! We evolved as a species and we will go extinct, but our time is not up just yet! Who knows, we might just find another planet to live on!
