So now your saying iron because its the heaviest element? By that logic the core of the planet is comprised of Mercury, lead, and uranium.
The process is called planetary differentiation, dense matter sinks to the center and less dense materials rise to the surface.
Closed book, or closed box. Until the answers are provided to my questions I will not give credence to unsubstantiated theories. I will not parrot misinformation.

Now a book for you to consider. www.amazon.com...
What is so difficult to understand? I reject the earth being filled with molten anything! And any theory that rely s on it, is false in my book.

"Misinformation"? I beg your pardon? So you regard yourself as being so much better informed as everyone else so that you can dismiss centuries of observation, experimentation, testing and science? You are either astoundingly arrogant or breathtakingly badly informed.
Or you're just pulling our collective chains.

As far as the gravity, and electromagnetic effects felt on this planet, Im up in the air on. Somehow everyone forgets that this ball of a planet we reside on, resides in a ocean of vacum and no gravity. The norm is vacum and non gravity. This planet, and all other planets are the exception.
If you take a bar magnet and stretch it, and swell it in its middle to form a hollow sphere, and then bond it where it re meets itself. would it not still be a bar magnet? And possess the same characteristics it did before? Would the flow not still run from the south to the north ends?
Now before I answer any more questions that you folks can research for yourselves, explain to me how your "Science" explains the force that keeps all planets in their respective orbits around the Sun.
As far as gravity, or the pulling, or pushing of objects towards the surface of the planet is concerned, I suspect the Van Allen Radiation Belt may play a role.
The Earth's magnetic field is similar to that of a bar magnet tilted 11 degrees from the spin axis of the Earth. The problem with that picture is that the Curie temperature of iron is about 770 C . The Earth's core is hotter than that and therefore not magnetic. So how did the Earth get its magnetic field?
Magnetic fields surround electric currents, so we surmise that circulating electic currents in the Earth's molten metalic core are the origin of the magnetic field. A current loop gives a field similar to that of the earth. The magnetic field magnitude measured at the surface of the Earth is about half a Gauss and dips toward the Earth in the northern hemisphere. The magnitude varies over the surface of the Earth in the range 0.3 to 0.6 Gauss.
So now your saying the earth is a centrifuge that works in opposite?
No, iron is not the heaviest element, it's the most abundant element. Centrifugal spin causes the heavier objects to fall to the center, iron is the most common element, not the heaviest, so it is logical the core would be mostly iron.
Now, your saying all the heavier elements are to be found on the outer surface of the planet, and the lighter ones at the center. Well well now. Your plot thickens.
Centrifugal force (from Latin centrum, meaning "center", and fugere, meaning "to flee") is the apparent outward force that draws a rotating body away from the center of rotation.
He is quite the thinker, me thinks.
“Problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them.”
Interesting, coming from one of the most renowned intellectuals to grace the face of this (outer) earth. thinkexist.com... Continue your laughter, its thought provoking.
“Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.”
But Im not the one who was shipwrecked.

Thank you for giving me a great laugh. Now I know that you're trying to amuse us all. Nicely done!
I try my best, with what the "Gods" have given me Thank you.
Nicely done!
