thereby displaying greater competence than some YECs. Huse, 1993, The Collapse of Evolution, cited a claim that magnetic reversals did not exist. I think this was from the same source as the decaying magnetic field argument, with Lyellian extrapolation of the current decay rate. The argument appeared to be based on reading an introductory geology text, as it displayed no knowledge of the actual paleomagnetic or other relevant evidence. It also merely substituted one problem with another, as the formation of any mirror-image parallel bands of basalt is just as good an argument for plate tectonics, no matter what distinguishes the bands.
