"In fact, it is because of this presumed rapid heat loss thatmainstream scientists were surprised when data from the Mariner 10 spacecraft revealed that Mercury still has a magnetic field.
This is because ‘planetary dynamo’ theories attempting to explain how a planet can maintain a magnetic field over eons of time require a molten liquid core within the planet.
But because of Mercury’s small size, Mercury’s core should have cooled off long ago, making it impossible for such dynamo behavior to continue.
The survival of Mercury’s magnetic field and ongoing contraction are much easier to explain if Mercury was created recently.
The survival of Mercury’s magnetic field and ongoing contraction are much easier to explain if Mercury was created recently.
Indeed, indications of relative youth are abundant throughout our solar system.
This should not be surprising since Scripture affirms that the Lord Jesus Christ created the entire universe recently, just 6,000 years ago." ICR
