What makes the rapid-decay theory more scientifically valid than the dynamo theory?
The rapid decay theory explains the decrease in the strength of the earth's magnetic field better then the dynamo theory. Although the dynamo theory explains the explains the reversals where the field pointed in the opposite directions better. The rapid decay theory allows for it, but only if there is an event of cataclysmic volcanic and geological activity. The rapid decay theory also explains the magnetic fields on the other planets correctly.

What two reasons make otherwise good scientist ignore the more scientifically valid rapid decay theory?
Look for the answer in your book. Its there.
What are the two theories that attempt to explain earths magnetic field?
the two theories that attempt to explain earths magnetic field are Dynamo theory--the theory that is believed by the majority of geologists. it says the rotation of the earth causes the liquid core to move in one overall direction, causing the movement of electrical charges, creating the current making the magnetic field. Rapid-decay theory---is believed by the minority of geologists. it makes assumptions about how the earth was formed to calculate how much electrical current would be generated and how much it would have slowed down. =
What makes some scientist ignore the more scientifically valid rapid-decay theory?
If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, the fact that it is not "scientifically valid" might have a lot to do with it.
Why is a catastrophe like the worldwide flood in Noah's time an essential part of earth's history if the rapid-decay theory is true?
If the rapid-decay theory is true, it posits that radioactive decay rates were once much higher, leading to a faster rate of radioactive decay in the past. However, this theory does not necessarily require a catastrophic event like a worldwide flood in Noah's time. The flood story is not directly related to the rapid-decay theory and is not considered an essential part of earth's history from a scientific perspective.
