You drank some what?

Does that mean that the magnetic field graph from the site is wrong, and that the field is actually getting stronger?

Depends what YEC you talk to. This YEC considers them as something that resulted from the rapid separation of continents, in the different past state. you can see the ridges, the seafloor is one alignment for a while and then it reverses, and the reversal pattern is symetrical with respect to the ridge.
A state of flux in the field in the turbulent time of the big change, and in the time ofmoving continents. Isnt the logical conclusion that these bands of alignment form when the ridges churn up new seafloor which locks in the alignment when it cools under one field and then that field reverses and the new seafloor locks in the new alignment?
No. That assumes a same state past, and uses that to explain what we see. do they think the earth was created with 150 million years worth of seafloor spreading and magnetic field reversal?
Some of them, apparently do. I think that the field was caused by something other than what we think it is caused by. That something is not causing it any more, so one might assume that the decrease may be due to that change. Also, the wild fluctuations. Piece of cake.

Yes, I have. And, since they can't prove it, I simply tell them it ain't science. I therefore have all authority to believe the bible accounts.

Translation: Magnetic field reversals where recorded by people during the bronze age.
Ten minutes later. So tell us, how many field reversals have you noticed in your lifetime?
Translation: Magnetic field reversals do not exist.

No, and there is no reason to assume that magnetic flux patterns suggest it did. Any more than today's magnetic field realities reflect the deep past action.
It's not an assumption, it's a conclusion; magnetic field reversals are the best known explanation for them.
If you disagree, do you have a better explanation? If you don't, why are you disagreeing?

No, but differences in the world of man are recorded. Changes that could reflect in the magnetic field, and many other things. Ten minutes later.

If they do, where are they??? Are you hiding them? Did your grandpa see them? Did Napoleon see them?? How about Pharaoh? Or Moses?
No.
So, what we have is a record in the rocks, basically. One that shows that the magnetic field was not unidirectional as it now is. One that changed, if our info is right! The only question left, then, is in what time frame did the changes actually happen!??
Magnetic flux is not an issue, cut the strawmen.
