EARTH'S DECAYING MAGNETIC FIELD MAKES FOR COGENT REASONING THE EARTH IS LESS THAN 10,000 YEARS OLD!

STARTING WITH THE STRONGEST FIELD POSSIBLE AND THE

ESTIMATED DECAY RATE THE EARTH MUST BE YOUNG -- LIKELY LESS THAN 10000 YEARS OLD.

WHAT MAKES THE MAGNETIC FIELD? OLD EARTH FANS

SAY A DYNAMO CAUSES IT, YOUNG COSMOS FANS SAY IT'S THE DECAY OF A CIRCULATING ELECTICAL CURRENT.

Many of us had magnets as children - we remember they got weaker and weaker as time passed, until they were dead.

Earth's magnetic field is decaying, having lost about 10% of its intensity in the last 150 years.

It is critical to Bible believing that the Bible's time frame of about 6000 years be approximately consistent with physical evidences.

There were efforts to sell the evolution idea before Charles Darwin, but they failed, because people understood, from the Bible, that the world was about 6000 years old.

Then, in the early 1800s Charles Lyell, a British lawyer and naturalist writer succeeded in getting people to think the world was much, much older.

Then when Charles Darwin published his evolutionary work in 1859, the skids were greased, and evolution took off like wild fire.

People were duped into disbelieving the Bible in the area of chronology, FIRST, THEN, disbelieving the Bible regarding creation!

Chronology is absolutely critical, nature and the Bible must match.

The Wikipedia article on Earth's Magnetic Field says the field is approximately a magnetic dipole similar to a bar magnet.

It states "The Earth's magnetic field strength was measured by Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1835 and has been repeatedly measured since then, showing a relative decay of about 10% over the last 150 years." This article is worth reading.

D. Russell Humphreys, PhD says it is unlikely earth's magnetic field is over 10,000 years old based on the maximum size it could have been originally, and the very rapid rate at which it is decaying.

In his excellent, Institute for Creation Research article, The Earth's Magnetic Field is Young, he makes a strong, cogent case. Please read his article.

Let us not overlook, too, that whatever mechanism is powering the magnetic field, this system is, an out and out marvel of creation engineering. Praise the Creator!

By what craziness can anyone imagine, any way in which this amazing, wonderful, magnetic field and its power source are an accident? Far as I know, the moon and all planets have fields too.

LET US PAUSE TO REALIZE EARTH'S MAGNETIC FIELD IS

AN OBVIOUS MIRACLE OF GOD'S ENGINEERING SKILL, WHATEVER ITS CAUSE - MOON AND PLANETS HAVE FIELDS TOO

Dr. Humphrey's says, "The average "intensity" of the earth's magnetic field has decreased exponentially by about 7% since its first careful measurement in 1829.

The field's intensity includes components of strength and direction and tells us the amount of force turning a compass needle northward.

By estimating the field intensity everywhere (in, on, and above the earth), we can calculate the total electrical "energy" stored in the field.

Such calculations show that the total energy in the field has decreased by about 14% since 1829."

He says that the free decay of an electric current circulating within the Earth would explain earth's magnetic field and its decay.

He gives tribute to "Dr. Thomas Barnes, the creationist physicist, who first began publicizing this information in 1971.

The Moon and the planets have magnetic fields also.

There are assumptions inherent in every method of trying to date the earth or the cosmos.

The important thing is to choose methods with the most reasonable assumptions and that accord with other good methods.

The Bible has tremendous archaeological evidence supporting its credibility.

See EXODUS! RED SEA CROSSING!

Also see The Bible, Is it Really the "Word of God?" regarding the Bible's great internal evidence.

Point being, the human genealogy of Christ in the New Testament book of Luke, 3:23-

-- must be considered very reliable.

It traces Christ's human ancestry back to Adam.

This genealogy is crucial as Jesus Christ had to be of genuine human descent to qualify as the Messiah.

As in all dating methods we must make assumptions. In this case, about life spans.

Nevertheless this is as sure a dating method as we will get.

It shows creation to have been about 6000 years ago.

The question then, does this reasonably accord with other, fairly sure dating methods?

The very sure dating method of Earth's magnetic field says yes, it does accord well.

Because this decaying magnetic field argument so cogently points to a recent creation of the Earth, we can expect return fire from those on the other side.

This often comes in the form of muddied water, smoke screens, disinformation and other forms of confusion.

Let common sense prevail - this idea is so common sense, we may tend to be shy. Don't be!

The concept of Earth's decaying magnetic field matches so well our real world experiences.

As Humphreys notes tremendous energy is contained in Earth's magnetic field.

And this energy amount is decreasing surprisingly rapidly.

We are familiar with wind-up and battery powered toys from our childhood, and with power equipment of our adulthood's.

Some great phenomenon is involved in powering earth's magnetic field -- it is very reasonable God got it going as good as was reasonable, and then let go.

-- It has been running down ever since. Understandable!

Many try to CONFUSE the issue by talking about magnetic field reversals.

Humphreys includes this idea of reversals with regard to violent earth movements of Noah's Flood ONLY, but NOT otherwise.

A ball dropped on a hard surface will bounce, repeatedly reversing motion until it runs out of energy and stops.

After this, it WILL NOT, spontaneously start bouncing again. It has run out of energy.

Yet, many suggest just this ridiculous idea concerning Earth's waining magnetic field.

Ridiculous - where is the energy to come from, where is the boot, it would need to suddenly spring back to life, after it has run out of energy and stopped?

By far the most reasonable and consistent with Biblical chronology is that God got it going real good at the beginning and let go -- and it has been decaying ever since.

And by ever since, we understand it could not have been too long ago, even though the earth and its magnetic field are huge.

Humphreys reasons 10,000 years max.

Thomas Barnes, who initially began researching and writing on the subject in 1971, thought about 8,000 years.

These figures are reasonable considering the Biblical chronology of about 6000 years.

BRETHREN, I COMMEND YOU TO GOD, AND TO THE WORD OF

HIS GRACE WHICH IS ABLE TO BUILD YOU UP AND GIVE YOU AN INHERITANCE AMONG ALLTHEM WHO ARE SANCTIFIED

Some people say, "I don't need physical evidence, I just believe the Bible."

When they get hard pressed, we find they waiver, we find their faith is a mile wide and a sixteenth of an inch deep.

I have been around these circles for 50 years.

Weasel-wording is almost automatic. It is second nature.

Preachers, teachers, lay-folks, come to a Bible passage they don't like -- and just watch the weasel-wording begin.

I should say just watch the "interpreting" begin.

Dr. Henry Morris, founder of ICR (Institute for Creation Research) said, "The best "interpretation" is NO INTERPRETATION!"

In other words, let the passage mean what it says, and say what it means.

This was Jesus Christ's example -- see God, How Do I Interpret the Bible?

It is because so many Christians are not in the habit of matching physical evidence with the Bible, teachers think they can get away with "interpreting" however they like.

But, then, there is the important thing of taking God's message to unbelievers.

Here, physical evidences are crucial, in convincing them we have the truth, NOT, just religion.
