Line 17: − # The [[Earth]]'s [[magnetic field]] is changing at too fast a rate for the Earth to be old. It is weakening in strength by 5% every 100 years<ref>[http://image.gsfc.nasa.gov/poetry/tour/AAmag.html Earth's Magnetic Field and its Changes in Time], from [[NASA]]</ref>. [[Exponential decay]] at that rate is not compatible with an Old Earth, since it would have required the Earth's magnetic field to be impossibly large at the times postulated by old-Earth theory.
