The biggest moon in the solar system is Ganymede, the third large moon out from Jupiter. Larger than Mercury, Ganymede has a heterogeneous surface of dark and light areas (picture), grooved terrain, abrupt changes of landforms, and bright splashes where impacts have scarred its icy surface (gallery). What goes on inside, though, is more surprising: it has an intrinsic magnetic field. Researchers could only make it last for the assumed age of the solar system by appealing to “special conditions” that are not necessarily compatible with theories of its formation...

okay, let’s see that birth certificate..................

They should call it the cobweb moon.
The whole young earth creation argument is sticky because it is basically impossible to refute. If I told you the whole world was created 2 seconds ago, as is, how would you prove me wrong? So you just end up trying to point out the problems with every other proposed history of the universe - which is fine, it just ends up being a little unsatisfying.
By that standard, the argument for ANY age of the universe, young or old, is impossible to make.
Look! Will you STOP posting inconvenient articles that look bad for evolutionary axioms? I’m running out of snide, childish insults to throw your way!

There is no way to scientifically disprove the existence of an omnipotent God. Any evidence someone puts up can be dismissed with a response of "God did it". All science can do is look for natural explanations (or the absence of them).
Even though this article calls into question the overall age of Ganymede due to its magnetic field, there are other ways of measuring the age of planets, planetoids, and moons. The density of cratering on Ganymede points to a surface age of 3 to 3.5 billion years
I think you just read a lot of minds contemplating this thread!
What’s new? - The old age farce has to come to an end.
No, no it hasn't. The evolutionists, regardless of how much evidence was ever put forward against their position or how insurmountable it was scientifically, will never end the farce. Just like the classical materialists in the days of old who ended up either saying "we don't really know where it came from" or else apotheising the universe itself to get around the problem of where it all came from, so today our modern materialists won't be able to resolve their inherent contradictions on origins, regardless of how many big bangs they hypothesise.
Another question might be whether the magnetic field poles are close to Ganymede’s rotational poles.
And does Ganymede have sufficient radioactive material to keep the iron core molten?
What’s going on with Ganymede?!?!
It refuses to cool down!
A billion years is not old?
Dr. Humphreys is really stretching the truth here.
Dr. Humphreys is not the author. However, the author does mention that Humphreys young earth cosmology accurately predicted the recent measurements of the Messenger Spacecraft with respect to Mercury’s magnetic field.
PS if they can’t account for 3.5 billion years, I’d say that’s a big problem for the evos.
