science is beyond your understanding, never mind the things that are beyond the understanding of science.

Pretty good for Crick and Watson on their part as biologists, but the geologist are dragging their behinds on the ground.
actually, science advance beyond that point long ago. just because your lagging behind 2500 years does not mean we haven't made some advances since the bronze age.

You are assuming that all the water that caused the flood was fresh and that
the land masses today are what was buried back then. You have something
to base that on, or am I wrong about your assumptions?

Yes, science has made many advances; but the evolutionists refuse to use these advances to reveal the true age of the Earth. They are still just speculating while announcing some ridiculous ages and time periods in order to make their ridiculous theory seem real to all the numbnuts.

That is a good point for much of this water may have burst out from beneath the crust of the Earth at that time. That water may have absorbed mineral salts before or as it burst out.

And here I thought it was molten material beneath the earth's crust.

I believe some of the water may have been warm to hot.

P.S. I am talking about the crust that was over the water under the earth.

ocean vents that would speed up the reaction time it would make salt immediately by breaking apart the molecules in the rock caused by the heat one they get to the cold part of the water salt will be formed immediately

^I thought about this myself before i looked it up just now and my theory was accurate (god i'm smart 🙂


http://www.howitworksdaily.com/environment/question-of-the-day-why-is-the-sea-salty/
Undersea volcanoes on mid-ocean ridges, and hydrothermal vents, release metallic and non-metallic ions (which together make salts) into the deep ocean. Rainwater, which is slightly acidic, erodes rocks on land, dissolving mineral ions and carries them to the sea in rivers. Also, winds blow dust containing minerals off the land and into the sea.

That is a good point for much of this water may have BURST out from BENEATH the crust of the Earth at that time. (my emphasis)


LOL. What are you on?
So there was/is vast pools of water under the crust that are so vast they could suddenly create a world wide flood by “BURST out from BENEATH the crust”?
Have you got any evidence of this? And where did all that water go after it came out and caused the flood? I mean, did somebody pull the plug in the Earth's crust so that it just went back below the Earth's crust again or what?

The fact that you have chosen to completely ignore here is the fact that this process would still takes many millions of years to account for all the salt in the seas.

This fact is confirmed in the link that you gave in your next post which says:

http://www.howitworksdaily.com/environment/question-of-the-day-why-is-the-sea-salty/

“...The result, after HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF YEARS’ accumulation, is an average of about 3.5 per cent salinity for seawater worldwide. ...” (my emphasis)




Going a bit off topic, the same link also tells me something I didn't previously know which was:

“The fact that this degree of saltiness remains relatively stable is due to the fact that salts are also being taken out of solution by marine animals, in sea floor sedimentary rock formation and tectonic subduction. “ .

So I stand corrected in my earlier posts when I said that it takes billions of years for the current salt concentration to form in the ocean because it actually probably takes hundreds of millions but probably not actually billions of years. Still, that would be an academic point because these facts still goes against the young-Earth hypothesis.

I was just excited that i worked out that vents make salt the way i said previously. and for how much salt is in the ocean for me the answer is simple god made it!

Ah, knowing humans drank only fresh water, that drinking salt water would kill them, so he was ticked off at humans and arranged things so the majority water supply on Earth was deadly to drink. I wonder why that was?

You first tried to give a rational natural explanation rather than a supernatural explanation for all the salt in the ocean.
Now I pointed out to you why your natural explanation cannot account for all the salt in the oceans ( at least if you believe in a young-Earth ) , you resort to falling-back on a plan B which is say that the correct explanation is a supernatural explanation, specifically, in this case, 'God' made all that salt with “god made it!”.

But why did you make giving a supernatural explanation plan B and not plan A? Is it because you recognise that a supernatural explanation has less credibility than a rational natural explanation?
If not, then why did you bother to try and give a natural explanation first?

Genesis 7
" 11-12 It was the six-hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month that it happened: all the underground springs erupted and all the windows of Heaven were thrown open. Rain poured for forty days and forty nights. "

We are discussing the story of the flood correct, this was the account.
