The magnetic field of [[Earth]] is directional nearly north-to-south.  This field has been decaying at a rapid rate of about about 5% per century, which casts doubt on the theory that the [[Earth]] is billions of years old.<ref>K.L. McDonald and R.H. Gunst, ‘An analysis of the earth’s magnetic field from 1835 to 1965,’ ESSA Technical Report, IER 46-IES 1, U.S. Govt. Printing Office, Washington, 1967.</ref>
