This subject isn't one to come up daily, but could be important nevertheless. With me, it started because one of the theories given by creation scientists for a young earth is the rapid decay of earth's magnetic field. In 1883, Horace Lamb "postulated that the field was the remnant of some original event and that the decay of this field produced currents which slowed down the decay rate. He developed a rigid mathematical basis for his model using the well-known results of Michael Faraday, the principle of self-induction (inducing a current in a path of good conduction when a field is left to decay).

"
Afterwards, around the 1980s, Thomas Lamb was able to collect more data and he, too, predicted the potential decay of the magnetic field. All of this to back up the earth being around 6,000 years old.
The facts are the Earth's magnetic field is still weakening.
What the secular (atheist) scientists have stated is that the Earth's magnetic field is a dynamo and that we are going through a pole reversal, i.e. the magnetic N pole, which is negative, becomes positive, and the magnetic S pole becomes negative. This means the field will be weakening, but since the Earth has been around for 4.5 B years, the dynamo will generate the strength back up again. What this dynamo is and how it works isn't made clear.
I just recently discovered that the Earth's moon and Mars have lost their magnetic fields. Doesn't this mean that Earth's magnetic field isn't a dynamo? What are the differences between Earth's vs Mars vs Earth's moon? It means that I don't want to colonize the moon nor Mars.
The magnetic field protects the earth as a shield and prevents the loss of our atmosphere. It protects us from the harsh solar winds and radiation from the sun. It will likely lead to a loss of our atmosphere.
Creation scientists believe that the earth's magnetic field was given by God, has been decaying and will run out around year 3000. Others think it will last another 16,000 years or so. I don't think there's any argument about the earth's magnetic field weakening.
Evidence of Earth's magnetic field weakening. The EU launched a trio of satellites to study and track Earth's magnetic field in 2013 because they thought the magnetic field was weakening and wanted to know why.
