1. The "habitability' of the Earth is entirely unrelated to direction or strength of it's magnetic field.

We'll be interested to learn of your fate as you try to colonize Jupiter or a magnetic star some day. Be sure to send us a post card. You are obviously sufficiently unaware of the part Earth's magnetic field plays in deflecting harmful solar activity. If I were you, I'd write to your bursar back at Starfleet Academy and ask for a refund.

2. The Earth's magnetic field has reversed itself many times in the past. It is always waxing or waning in one direction or the other.

In one direction or another, perhaps. No argumant there. Blinded by your mockery, the point lost on your inability to read and which you subsequently failed to address was that I was speaking of the inherent strength of the moment, not its position, which is tracked, and has found to be diminishing over time at a measurably and remarkably consistent rate.

Changing the playing field? How like a gore3k. Why not just suggest the Earth was in orbit around Saturn?

In one direction or another, perhaps.

No "perhaps" about it, no mystery about it, no "miracle", it's happened a hundred times before.
