Lunar Magnetic Field Problematic for Deep Time

Posted by -
No need to head for deep space to trouble believers in cosmic evolution, just look up about 238,800 miles (384,400 km). We saw how they have difficulties with the rate the moon recedes from the earth, and how it formed in the first place. There is also the moon's magnetic field.

No, there is none there now. But those bags of nice expensive rocks that the Apollo astronauts (and other robotic missions) brought to Earth showed that there was a lunar magnetic field in the past. The secular science industry finds that troubling.

Our moon troubles secular scientists in many ways, one of which is the mystery of its magnetic field. Our own cannot be explained, nor can the one formerly in the moon.

Scientists have some guesses about what causes the magnetic fields of Earth and other planets, the most popular of which is a dynamo hypothesis. It is a case of, "We got nuffin, but this is better than admitting recent creation." Indeed, the dynamo (or generator) hypothesis even violates laws of physics — yet secularists think the moon had one like the earth's but on a smaller scale. For the moon to have had a dynamo, the problem is even greater. Attempts have been made to salvage the dynamo concept, but they do nothing of the kind. Two are discussed in this 2011 article by Dr. D. Russell Humphreys.
The ‘dynamo’ theory, their as-yet-unproven explanation of planetary magnetic fields, requires a large fluid core and rapid rotation in order to even have a chance of working … and the Moon provides neither. Hence there has been much scholarly worry over how the Moon could possibly have generated a magnetic field in the past, especially a strong one.

To read it all, see "The Moon’s former magnetic field." A related article by the same author is "More secular confusion about moon’s former magnetic field."

*Cleanup.pictures was used to remove things in the original moon cutaway graphic, and the generator image was helped along with Removebg. The generator folding effect was done in Paint.net. None of these three companies as well as Wikimedia Commons, its contributors, nor NASA endorse anything on this site. Well, if anyone does, I don't know about it.
