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. Humphreys in the Creation Research Society Quarterly. Includes new data from Mercury in 2012.

SPEAKER: Russell Humphreys, Ph.D.

BIO: Dr. Russell Humphreys is a retired physicist who researches, speaks, and writes about creation science, and has done so for the Institute for Creation Research and Creation Ministries International.

He holds a B.S. in physics from Duke University, and a Ph.D. in physics from Louisiana State University.

He worked at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, 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 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.
