God Creates the World ⓛ (07/10)
- Sun, Earth, Planets
- Origins of Earth's magnetic field remain a mystery (fr. MIT News, 2020.04.08)
Summary:
1. There must have been divine intervention in creation of the earth and lives on it.
2. Without the magnetic field surrounding the earth protecting the high energy charged particles emitted from the sun, nothing can survive on the earth. No other planets in the Solar system have this protection. Science calls this a mystery because it cannot explain this phenomenon.
3. If all of these happened by chance, that chance is so low beyond imagination. If we believe that God created everything for us to live on the earth, this is the best answer to everything. The Genesis in the Bible explains everything about the creation very clearly.

The Earth's magnetic field is very important for humans and other animals on Earth because it protects us from being bombarded (hit) by high energy charged particles which are emitted by the Sun.
The stream of charged particles (mainly positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons) coming from the sun is called the solar wind. When these particles come close to the Earth, they are deflected by the Earth's magnetic field and cannot shower down to the surface where they can harm living organisms. Astronauts in space are at risk of being irradiated by the solar wind because they are outside the zones where the charged particles are trapped.
The region above Earth's atmosphere in which charged particles are affected the Earth's magnetic field is called the magnetosphere. Relatively often, in addition to the usual solar wind, the Sun may eject a large bubble of material (protons and electrons) with its own magnetic field from its outer atmosphere.
Sometimes these bubbles travel towards the Earth where their magnetic fields can join with Earth's magnetic field. When this happens a huge amount of energy is released into the Earth's magnetosphere, causing a geomagnetic storm. These storms cause rapid changes in the Earth's magnetosphere which in turn may affect electric and magnetic systems on the Earth such as power grids, cellphone networks, and other electronic systems.
