Steen's Mountain in Oregon, where
magnetic reversals were
found to have occurred in hours, not thousands of years.
"The rapidity and large amplitude of geomagnetic variation that we infer from [flow B51 Steen's Mtn.], even when regarded as an impulse during a polarity transition, truly strains the imagination."[i]
Further, when the center of the mid-ocean rifts were drilled downward, scientists found (the North/South reversals) reversals frozen down their length[ii] are captured in time once the magma cools, locking the compass switches in the rocks. (Authors note: one scientist (Humphreys) reported that of 200,000 such core samples taken, fully half or 100,000 show reversals around the earth). Clearly, much geologic activity was happening world-wide in the Flood period. Evolutionists attempt to assign these intervals with great ages, such as from 40,000-700,000 years for each change. This notion came under great scrutiny of late when samples from the Columbia flows in the scarp faces of Steen's Mountain in Oregon (where the exposure formation edges can be sampled), shocked the science world[iii] as to their rapid reversals, suggested by the researcher’s themselves could be measured in hours!
"This period [of 15 days] is undoubtedly an overestimate …Nonetheless, even this conservative figure of 15 days corresponds to an astonishingly rapid rate of variation of the geomagnetic field direction of 3° per day[iv]."
Dr. Russ Humphreys[v] predicted (preceding the discovery in Oregon), that if sometime in the future such a finding (that is, rapid reversals) would be significant support of his theories. With the Steen's find, we could then connect the rapid seafloor event to a rapid magnetic change sequences elsewhere. Humphrey's theory also included accurate estimates of the general depleting magnetism of the outer planets, and even out to galaxies, now supported by data retrieved by three NASA space probe missions! When the mass cools below the Curie temperature of 1000F[i], the polar direction becomes locked in position and can be measured. When sampled, the scientist carefully indexes the extracted core to determine its polarity relative to magnetic North. To determine the underwater parallel ridge compass directions, crews tow a sensor along the sea bottom and the sensing equipment collects the data.
Dr. John Baumgartner continues on earth physics relative to geomagnetics: "From an estimate of the viscosity of the outer core, where the currents associated with the earth’s magnetism exist, there is no reason why the magnetic field can’t reverse rapidly. Moreover, there is field evidence that it has reversed rapidly, within weeks. In addition, drilling the seafloor has shown that, regardless of the overall direction of the magnetism detected from the surface, the magnetic direction within a drill core frequently varies widely. This is less consistent with slow spreading than with a rapid welling up of new magma during a period of rapid reversals; the magma in contact with the surface will reflect the direction at that time, but by the time the deeper magma cools a few weeks later, the direction has switched again—and so on for deeper levels."
When correlating the three indicators; a) drilling the sea rift centers and finding back to back reversals, b) observing the same "flips" pushed out along the undersea parallel ridges and, c) the rapid reversals noted in the Steen's Mountain find, constitute powerful evidence all are related to a single event. Further, that as the magma was pushing up and spread the seafloors, (the author believes that lunar cycles were involved, hence a pulsing action creating a line of magma apparent on the seafloor), the plate movements affected the magnetic reversals by unbalancing the "parasitic" magnetism interaction between the plates, subducting material and the earths core. Finally, the hard data from the Steen's provides correlating results from a time perspective, provide smoking gun evidence that the entire globe was involved in these processes.
Establishment Science takes Note
As of August 2014, there seems to be some uncertainty among institutional scientists regarding current theories about how the earth creates and maintains its magnetic field. A well recognized geophysicist, David Stevenson of the California Institute of Technology, [as quoted in Discover magazine] expressed concern that problems exist relative to earth’s magnetic field and long-age based theories:
"Right at this moment, there is a problem with our understanding of Earth’s core and it’s something that’s emerged only over the last year or two. The problem is a serious one. We do not now understand how the Earth’s magnetic field has lasted for billions of years. We know that the Earth has had a magnetic field for most of its history. We don’t know how the Earth did that. We have less of an understanding now than we previously thought we had a decade ago of how the Earth’s core has operated throughout history."*(Emphasis added)
Does this revelation suggest that resistance to Dr's Barnes and Humphrey's work is quietly eroding? It appears so. Do these comments indicate that our magnetic field decline rate has lately accelerated? We don't presently know. If this comment is related to such, nothing can be done by man to stop it. The result would be that earth's protective shield would likely fall and we will be left unprotected from the Suns harmful radiation flares, flares that may come at any moment and completely disrupt life as know it on this planet. Weather now or later makes little difference; God has declared that a final judgment is coming on the earth since the Pillars of Seth on to the Bible. The warnings are there, and it's up to every individual to take the necessary action to save themselves from this last and final calamity, as clearly outlined in the Bible. Some forget that without this magnetic field, migrating populations of birds and fish would quickly fall into a state of confusion, disrupting the worlds environment for the worse.Clearly, as these species have complex receptors in order to use the fields in ways that are only recently becoming appearent, each were designed to work with the other, more evidence of creation!
