mLine 75:
Line 75: − − == Ice == − Late Novemeber 2012, it was announced by [[NASA] that huge amounts of ice were found on Mercury. This gives more proof of a great flood taking place on Earth 4,400 years ago, 2349 BC to be precise. <ref> [http://www.examiner.com/article/mercury-ice-should-have-blown-away-meteor-showers] </ref> This means that the ice is a memorial to the greatest catastrophe ever to hit Earth.

On January 14, 2008, [[MESSENGER]] made rendezvous with Mercury and measured its magnetic field. This rocket probe's measurements are consistent with a magnetic dipole moment of (3.8 +/- 0.7) * 10<sup>19</sup> N-m/T. This represents a significant decline from the Mariner 10 measurement, because the two measurements differ by more than the sum of their respective tolerances. More to the point, the higher tolerance range of the current measurement lies well within the predicted magnetic dipole moment that Mercury should have at present. If, on the other hand, the true measurement is ''less'' than predicted, that would pose an even greater problem for uniformitarian astrophysics, because such a rapid decay would be utterly inconsistent with an age for Mercury of 4.6 billion years. It would present no problem with the Humphreys model, but would suggest that the core conductivity and/or conductive mass of Mercury is less than Humphreys initially supposed.<ref name=Humphreys2/>
