The galactic alignment is the event when our planet crosses the equator of the center of our galaxy, which is a black hole. The theory that the earth stops spinning is not the only theory. Most people actually believe in ascension. Some religious buffs believe December 21, 2012 is Judgment Day. Honey bees are not the only species that are dramatically falling onto the endangered species list. There's even an increase in human deaths--some by nature, some by weird and unexplained causes, some by suicide, etc. It's the nature of time, now, leading up to 2012 which supports the prophecies of 2012. The prophecy that's getting most evidence support is that by the end of 2012, two-thirds of the world population will be gone. We're coming to the realization that two-thirds won't die by one single event but many small events as 2012 nears. So maybe it's true that the world population will decline and an order of nature is taking place. Adun is right about some previous statements but wrong about contradictions toward Aleshah. Thanks, Aleshah, for you kind input.
