You STILL don't get it!  I studied electronics a LONG time ago, and DO know
a lot about it, and theories, etc...  This INCLUDES many theories about 
magnetism!  Sorry guy, there is NO proof!

Micheal faraday created theories about magnetic forces relation to electric
force.  HE is the one who gave us the theories for the inductor, transformer,
generator, etc...  Later, edison beat out westinghouse, with his proposal of
public electric standards because HE proposed alternating current!  The main
reason he won?  Because high voltage power can be transmitted with less loss,
but can't do too much.  Faradays transformers, which you can see on many 
power poles, can change the high voltage low amperage power to high amperage
low voltage!  How did faraday create his theories?  OBSERVATION!!!!!!!!  

It is fact that magnetic force TENDS to be maintained better in an IRON based
core, and that it can be encouraged by electronic induction, or by striking 
the core when it is aligned with a magnetic field, such as the earths.  
however, it could just as easily have been a parasite that likes IRON!

Nearly every theory is from OBSERVATION!  They once thought electricity traveled
in a different direction than they now believe.  Some superconductors today were
once considered to be POOR conductors!  

If you want to "test out" God, why don't you pray to Jesus, and ASK HIM if he
is real!  Ask him to SHOW YOU he is real!  Some, myself included, soon then
became believers!  Otherwise, you have NOTHING to observe, other than those 
that call themselves Christians.  Some go along for the ride, some have fallen,
etc... so that isn't really a good sample.
