Magnetic Fields and a Young Universe

Our earth is surrounded by an invisible magnetic field. It protects us from harmful radiation from the sun. But our magnetic field is decaying. Each year it gets a tiny bit weaker.

Our earth is surrounded by an invisible magnetic field. It protects us from harmful radiation from the sun. But our magnetic field is decaying. Each year it gets a tiny bit weaker. This means it was stronger in the past.

Now, many people believe the earth is billions of years old. But just a few million years ago the magnetic field would’ve been so strong, life would’ve been impossible!

And we’re not the only one with a magnetic field; other planets have them, too. Now, if they were billions of years old, they should have weak magnetic fields. But they’re the strength predicted by creationists, starting from what the Bible says about a very young universe.
