Yes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomagnetic_reversal
In the early 20th century geologists first noticed that some volcanic rocks
were magnetized opposite to the direction of the local Earth's field. The first
estimate of the timing of magnetic reversals was made in the 1920s by
Motonori Matuyama, who observed that rocks with reversed fields were all
of early Pleistocene age or older
I read that the earths core has recently been found to be crystalline - giant iron crystals going from north to south, (not liquid metal after all) I can't see that switching to be honest... and if it did we would still have a magnetic field just the other way up?

Right, ignore asssholes trying to force creationism to be taught along side evolution as if creationism were a science which you already know is not and never will be. Or listening to those stupid bells calling all and asunder to church in my town, you can't escape the sound. Just like in the middle east when I lived in Jerusalem, every day there was a loud ...[text shortened]... that Baptist one I mentioned.
I will fight them tooth and nail. I don't ignore that crap.

It is no big deal. Just get ear plugs or get ear headphones and listen to your favorite music.

A republican right wing reactionary like yourself would have a far different attitude if it effected your own family.
