Creation scientists have a distinct advantage over secular scientists when it comes to scientific modeling – the Word of God. There are
clues given in the Bible that would never be considered by the secular scientist. One of the most exemplary scientific models of creation
science is the planetary magnetosphere model developed by Dr. Russell Humphreys in 1984. Using the clues given in the Bible, he was
able to make accurate predictions based on assumptions and deduced processes that would not have been known from any other
scientific or historical resource.
Key Scriptures on the Process of Creation:
Ge:1:2: And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the
face of the waters.
Ge:1:6: And God said, let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
Ge:1:7: And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the
firmament: and it was so.
Gen:1:9: And God said, let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
Ge:1:10: And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
2Pe:3:5: For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water
and in the water:
These scriptures describe a process by which God first made all astrological objects as bodies of water (the earth, sun, moon, stars, et
al) with all the physical properties of water, mass, and motion, including molecular structure (H2O), gravity, orbits, rotation, and
magnetospheres. Then he created the solid matters and associated elements (dry land). So in six days, God created the earth within a
solar system of many, within a galaxy of many, within a grand universe.
Time of creation: The approximate year of creation can be determined by formulating a time line based on the genealogies and
chronological events given in Old Testament which comes to about 6000 years from 2000 AD.
Based on this knowledge, the following assumptions were made for the basis of this model:
A. The earth was created about 6,000 years ago.
B. While yet in the watery state God created atomic nuclei with their spins pointing in the same direction, thereby creating the force of
the original magnetosphere.
C. Once the solids and other elements were created, the alignments would immediately decay to random order due to natural thermal
collisions; however, large electrical currents (billions of amperes) would be generated due to the laws of electricity and magnetism in the
planets’ interior molten core, reproducing the magnetosphere at near the same strength.
D. At this point, the electrical currents in the core would start to decay exponentially due to the laws of electrical resistance and entropy.
This expected decay rate is reflected in the empirical data recorded over the last 160 years, as shown in the many articles by Dr.

In 1984, Dr. Humphreys took Dr. Barnes’ theory based on the exponential decay factors of the strength of earth's magnetic field when
extrapolated backwards and came up with this model based on the approximate age of the universe as given in the Bible, the planetary
masses, and a certain k factor (k=0.25 in almost all cases) to apply to other planets in the solar system. He then modeled several
planetary magnetic fields such as the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn. He not only rightly predicted the known
values of the sun, moon, and planets, he also predicted what we would find when we got close enough to Uranus in 1986 and Neptune in
1989 via the Voyager II and was precisely correct. Due to the uncertainties of the planets’ interiors, Dr. Humphreys predicted that the
magnetic moments of both planets would be between 1 x 10^23 and 1 x 10^25 A m2. On January 20, 1986, Voyager II passed by Uranus
and measured Uranus's magnetic moment at 3.0 x 10^24 A m2. On August 25, 1989, Voyager II passed by Neptune and found that it has
a magnetic moment of 1.5 x 10^24 A m2. Both actual values are approximately in the middle of Dr. Humphreys’ estimates. Additionally,
Dr. Humphreys’ model accurately predicted Mercury's decaying magnetosphere. In 1974 & 75, to the surprise of NASA scientists, the
Mariner 10 Spacecraft measured Mercury's magnetic moment at 4.8 x 10^22 gauss CM3. In 1984 Dr. Humphreys published his
Magnetic Field Model which included the predicted decay factors for Mercury's magnetic field. In 2008 Messenger flew by Mercury and
found the magnetic moment had decayed as the model had predicted. NASA scientists had predicted that there would be no magnetic
field due to its size, whereas Dr. Humphreys’ model predicts it would have a magnetic field, its original strength, and the approximate
strength at any given time, just as it did with the Uranus and Neptune magnetic fields. The actual measured magnetic strength is not a
precise science, and scientists are not in agreement as to the magnitude of decay of Mercury, as the data interpretation ranges from 0%,
4%, 27%, to 40% decay. Being that Dr. Humphreys’ model has been accurate in all other instances, there is no reason not to believe that
his predicted calculation is probably the most accurate at 4%.
