How do you think fanatical bible-thumpers will explain the

collapse of earth's magnetic field which is happening faster than expected? I don't recall any part of the Bible mentioning God's wrath being expressed by destroying the magnetic field. If this troublesome worldwide event isn't in the Bible does it mean it can't be used as a new indication of the Apocalypse?


"The collapse of the earth's magnetic field, which both guards the planet and guides many of its creatures, appears to have started in earnest about 150 years ago. The field's strength has waned 10 percent to 15 percent so far and this deterioration has accelerated of late..."

5. True -

we have to remember that much of the Bible as we know it, or at least the Old Testament, was put together between the the Babylonian Exile of the 6th - 5th Centuries B.C.E., and about the 2nd Century B.C.E. And many of the stories were handed down from much earlier sources. The story of Noah, for example, was based on an old Babylonian tale, the Epic of Gilgamesh, dating from the second Millineum B.C.E. So, how much trust can we put in literature from the dawn of civilization?
