The pole is actually shifting as we speak albeit to such a minor degree that we would never notice during our lifetimes.

You're not paying attention!

It’s making a beeline for true north. What does it know?

On a related note, Mr. Waldock points out “our runway remains in a fixed position.” I’m glad he pointed that out. I was fearful that UK “shovel ready” jobs dug up a perfectly good runway and repaved it with a one degree correction. (Think I should pass that idea to Obama?)

Exactly. Pilots adjust their compasses to correct for mag dec as they travel long distances. They also have to adjust their altimeter to correct for changing atomospheric pressure.

Do you feel the poles moving? I also did mention in post number#38 that he North Magnetic Pole is slowly drifting across the Canadian Arctic

Prepare for a society that will be thrown back to the stone age.

Obama will have achieved that way before the pole flips.

"the waters above the firmament"

(depends on what you mean by firmament)

The relationship is this: Could a change in the magnetosphere influence in a drastic way the ability of the atmosphere to retain water?

Additionally, could it vary the amount of water that Earth gains from space.

I was rereading the posts, to try and be sure what we were debating, and found you had already defined ‘firmament’.

And it brought me to the core of the debate.

YOUR COMMENT: These conceptions are no longer possible for anyone, including you, to seriously entertain as a physical reality.

I don’t think the descriptions in Genesis are technical goldmines of knowledge on something that could have happened in one year, or one billion years. But I do think that the concept that massive amounts of water could condense upon the Earth from outside the atmosphere is very possible.

So, yes, I do entertain it as a possible physical reality.

"I thought runways were based on true north, not magnetic north?"

The proper term is Astronomic North, but you are correct.

LOL.

A huge solar flare superstorm can severly damage the power grid, knock off all satellite communication and basically that has a computer chip.Television,GPS will also be afftected.The men orbiting in the ISS can be exposed to lethal amounts of gamma radiation.September 1859 is a key day in the study of Solar Superstorms.Within hours, telegraph wires in both the United States and Europe spontaneously shorted out, causing numerous fires, while the Northern Lights, solar-induced phenomena more closely associated with regions near Earth’s North Pole, were documented as far south as Rome, Havana and Hawaii, with similar effects at the South Pole.The nice thing is we can predict solar flares but cannot predict Gamma Ray Burst which is equally lethal to life on the planet.
