Dr Jonathan Sarfati points out that many processes bring salts into the sea, while they don’t leave the sea easily. So the saltiness is increasing steadily. Since we can work out how much salt there is in the sea, as well as the rates that salts go into and out of the sea, we should be able to calculate a maximum age for the sea. (Uniformitarian geologists are rather hoisted by their own petard on this one as their own methodology destroys their long age contentions)Granting the most generous assumptions to evolutionists, Austin and Humphreys calculated that the ocean must be less than 62 million years old. It’s important to stress that this is not the actual age, but a maximum age. That is, this evidence is consistent with ANY age up to 62 million years as we cannot know just how much salt the oceans had in them at the outset.
Evolutionists must be wetting themselves over this one as they rather prefer a date of 14 BILLION+ years for the earth to make their theories hold (sea?) water.
