Archives Evolution/Creation: The Truth 7/15/2004

A recent article in The New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/13/science/13magn.html?ex=1090296000&en=c55876e9187702ef&ei=5006&partner=ALTAVISTA1) shows that the Earth's magnetic field is decreasing. This was one of the evidences for the very young age of the Earth that I talk about in the video "Age of the Earth"

Now here is the significance of this well-known fact:

1. If it has decreased that quickly 10-15% in 150 years than the magnetic field is too strong for life to survive on Earth 10 000 years ago !!

2. When the magnetic field drops to 0 in the presumed reversals what happens to life? Because without a magnetic field we would immediately be fried by the sun's cosmic radiation. Maybe reversal's never happened.

Another view on how the evidence for magnetic reversals may be wrong from Dr. Walter Brown (www.creationscience.com)
Go to http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/HydroplateOverview3.html and do a searth on the word "magnetic variations"

It is the best time ever to be a creationist and a Yong Earth Creationist at that !!
