He's batty alright. Here is just some of what he offers:

“Water: The Raw Material of Creation

The strength of a dipole field's source is called its magnetic moment. It is proportional to the amount of current circulating in the source and the area encircled by the current. The dipole magnetic moment of the earth today is 7.9 x 1022 joules per Tesla (1 J/T = 1 Ampere-meter2 = 1000 Gauss-cm3).3,4

To calculate the magnetic moment of a planet at creation, we must know the original material. In the previous article I presented Scriptural evidence that God originally created the Earth as a sphere of pure water. One of the Scriptures is the last part of 2 Peter 3:5 (NASB): “. . . and the earth was formed out of water and by water.” Shortly after that, God must have transformed much of the water into other matter, such as iron, silicon, minerals, and rock.

I know of no explicit Scripture which says that God created the heavenly bodies in the same way He did the Earth. But there is a hint, perhaps. The Hebrew word translated “heavens” in Genesis 1 consists of two other Hebrew words which mean “there, waters.”5 Let us assume that God created the Sun, Moon, and planets as water, which He then transformed.”
In 2 Peter 3:5 the word “sunistao” (#4921)means to stand by or as most translations have it, ‘stand out of’. Only in figurative sense does it indicate to constitute.
In Genesis chapter one the Hebrew word, “shamayim (#8064), contrary to the Dr., means, ‘firmament, celestial realm, sky above’. Nothing to do with water.

Humphreys assumes that Mercury was once water and assumes on the basis of that assumption that most of the hydrogen being aligned in such a way to carry electricity around the great Mercury water droplet and produce a magnetic field. And he thinks he finds support for this in Scripture which he misunderstands (see above).

Batting a thousand? Not even a bat boy!

Why is he willing to accept the scientific evidence from Mercury but unwilling to accept the scientific evidence that the Earth is over 4 billion years old?
