Basically the only existing theories for the creation of a magnetic field B
in the Universe are the creation of a seed field of order 10^{-20} G in spiral
galaxy which is subsequently supposedly amplified up to the observed 10^{-6} -
10^{-5} G by a dynamo process or a seed intergalactic field of magnitude
10^{-12} - 10^{-10} G which is amplified by collapse and differential rotation.
No satisfactory dynamo theory, however, exists today. We show that a 10^{-6} -
10^{-5} G magnetic field in spiral galaxies is directly obtained from a
nonminimal gravitational-electromagnetic coupling, without the need of
significant dynamo amplification.Comment: 5 pages, Latex (Revtex), no figures, To appear in PR
