- There is a Thomas Barnes who is a professor of physics and is active in the
- creationist movement. Lots of creationist literature mentions his claim
- that the earth's magnetic field is exponentially decaying, at a rate that
- would fix the upper age limit of the earth at about 10,000 years.
-
- Apparently his opinions are not widely respected in the physics community.
