Grant,
a magnetic field is caused by the movement of charged particles. It's hardly a surprise that a large dynamic cloud of anything with free charges generates electric and magnetic fields (they're directly connected, remember). Have you never seen a thunderstorm? In fact, it's precisely what you'd expect.

You post refers to *ferromagnetism* which is a property of some materials which can retain a level of magnetism in a static, equilibrium state. This occurs in what you would commonly call "a magnet". It doesn't refer to clouds of gas or dust. Nobody except you has suggested that magnetism in stars or clouds of dusts is due to them being ferromagnets. It's due to them being electrically charged and in motion.

Your description of magnetism not being possible in a cloud of gas and dust above the "Curie point" is nonsense, because ferromagnetism and Curie temperatures relate only to very specific solid magnetic materials. Hence, your whole article is nonsense.

Regards
Krill
