As some might realize, if they heard my different universe state in the past musings, this fits hand in glove with such a concept.
Amazing.

Do you think God is causing this? if so, why? if not, who or what is?
Does this mean creationism is true? or not? is this proof for creationism? or against? |

If the rate of decay where linear and we traced it back 6,000 years, the magnetic field would be nearly 5 times more powerful than it is today. This would be strong enough to rip the iron out of Adam and Eve’s blood causing them to asphyxiate*.
YOUNG EARTH CREATIONISM DISPROVEN! Life could not have been on the Earth for 6,000 years!!!

You mean to tell me that Jesus, Moses, Noah, and Adam didn’t record this excellent data?
Why does this graph go into the negatives? Intensity is always a positive number!

Oh come on! A fridge magnetic is hundreds of times stronger than the earth's magnetic field when you're holding it. Doesn't rip the iron out of my blood. |

In Earth's history this is nothing new. There is evidence for many past decreases in the magnetic field and a subsequent reversal of the magnetic poles. In a few human generations, we may get to observe a shutdown of the magnetic field and maybe see the field reborn in a reversed state.
Here is good starting point to finding more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_magnetic_field |

A negative intensity is a convenient way of representing a positive one in the opposite direction, as in a field reversal. |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | | | |
