Is it true that our world will be destroyed in 2012, based on Nostradamus's prophecies?

I think that the jury is still out on this. One school of thought reasons:
Of course, not only have the "experts" on the prophets not always been correct - the seers themselves have not always been quite so accurate in their forecasts. Although people keep claiming that "it's the world will end" they often ignore other prophecies he wrote. Nostradamus NEVER said the world would end in 1666, 1999, 2012, 2096, or any of those years. In fact, he was quite clear we would survive through all of these other conflicts, and if we took it upon ourselves, we could change / prevent what was indeed going to happen.

I'm happy to tell you that in my lifetime I have successfully lived through a few world endings. Y2K was perhaps the best known. There have been many doomsday predictions throughout history. Our demise could happen today or maybe never. One thing certain is that we are treating our beloved planet very badly.
Here is a list of past predictions.

Nostradamus may well have prophesied it, but his stuff is so convoluted that quite a few of his quatrains are taken to predict several things. There are very few identifiable dates (and at least of one of them didn't work...). (Source: the prophecies themselves - I have read them unlike most people that go on about them) As to the Mayans, perhaps they'll be more accurate than the Christian and other ones who have awaited doom without success. (I do like the ones who sold all their goods and went up a mountain. Did they expect to take the money with them, or what?)
