Simply read my posts and do an Internet search on the names of the researchers. One can read between the lines of their findings that they do not accept the 10's of millions of year old earth theory. 6,000 years ???? eh....ok....10 to 15 thousand and then I might grant you 20 thousand, but no more.........It is known that the earth's magnetic field is weakening by half every 1400 years. It is also know that the magnetic field is absolutely required to be at certain levels to support life (promote healthy cell interaction/duplication) at all. If it is to great nothing can live. If it gets to weak things begin to mutate and die. This is only one reason why humans will never survive on planets with weak magnetic fields e.g. the moon, mars or planets with very very strong magnetic fields. It has to be just right.....

Never saw a sine wave, huh? Never saw fluctuations in the stock market, waves on the ocean, noticed the cycles of sunspots? Up-and-down is normal, and often reverses itself on a regualr basis.

Wrong.

> If it is to great nothing can live.

The magnetic field from the monitor in front of you is likely several times stronger than the Earths magnetic field. Critters, humans included, regularly live in magnetic fields *far* more powerful than the Earth's. Frogs have been levitated by magnetic fields with no ill effects.

Everythign dies. And mutation is, on the whole, a good thing as it drives evolution.

I'm sorry, but that's just damned funny. I've been studying manned spaceflight and space colonization for two decades, and never have I seen such silliness. Magnetic fields in and of themselves do not effect organic systems much at all. Go to the hardware store, buy the strongest magnet you can buy and hold it in your hand or tape it to a mouse. The field will do nothing.

Ah. I think I've figured out where you get your science knowledge, especially about planetary magnetic fields:

Humans will never survive on planets with weak magnetic fields???????

Put down your crack pipe, put on your tin foil hat, rub your magic crystals, and leave the thinking to people with more than a mid double digit IQ.
