The galaxies collide, but since the stars are so small compared to the size of the galaxy, the chances of stars in the two galaxies colliding is very small. The result is that the interaction is pretty much entirely gravitational and they effectively rip each other apart. Gravity then causes them to form a single galaxy. The animation rotates to show how the simulation matches various real images taken of galaxies interacting in space. Of course, the real galaxies take a very long time to do so.

Calm yourself down, you neither can't give any conclusion saying it won't happen... and I'm not even saying there that I believe something will hapen that day.
There are lots of disaster that will happen sooner or later to the Earth, if it's not on 21 december 2012, it will be later. It's just a date we give ourselves... for fun I guess, like a bet or something like that.
