The variability of the earth’s magnetic poles has been well noticed, and in fact it’s the basis for the discovery of plate tectonics because of the record of the magnetic field in the rock of the ocean floor as it spreads from the ocean ridges.
We may be approaching an epochal event in the form of a magnetic field reversal, but our knowledge of earth history encompasses many such events, and in this and other things we have gained a vantage point above primitive awe, not to say we have transcended it!
