Evidence for a Young World
14 items of simple scientific evidence that show the world is only thousands, not billions of years old.
God’s Big Magnets in the Sky
A tour through magnetic fields in the Solar System, many of which were predicted in a 1984 paper of Dr. Russ Humphreys in the Creation Research Society Quarterly. Includes new data from Mercury in 2012.
SPEAKER: Dr. Russell Humphreys
BIO: Dr. Russell Humphreys is a retired physicist who researches, speaks, and writes about creation science from his home office in Chattanooga. Previously he did so for the Institute for Creation Research in San Diego and Creation Ministries International in Atlanta.
In 1963 he received a B.S. in physics from Duke University, and in 1972, he received a Ph.D. in physics from Louisiana State University.
In 2001 he retired from Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, after working there for 22 years as a physicist, doing nuclear physics and geoscience research. Before that, he did high-voltage research at General Electric. He has published dozens of professional articles, received three U.S. patents, two Industrial Research magazine IR-100 awards, and several Sandia National Laboratories Awards for Excellence.
Although raised as an atheist, he received Jesus Christ as his personal Savior in 1969, as a grad student in physics. A few years later, strong scientific evidence convinced him that the alleged billion-year “geologic ages” are fictional and that instead God created the world about 6,000 years ago.
His main research interest is the age of the world, including magnetic fields in the Solar System, salt in the ocean, nuclear decay dating, and cosmology. He has published many technical articles in creationist scientific journals, is a board member of the Creation Research Society, and an internationally known seminar speaker. He is the author of a popular book on creationist cosmology, Starlight and Time, a co-author of Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth, and a recent book, Earth’s Mysterious Magnetism, and that of other celestial orbs.
