If the flood happened, why are the oceans salty?

Your assertion was with reagrds to airborne pollutants.

yes it was, oceans act as depositories for these air borne pollutants (after salt aerosol
makes them heavy enough to drop into the ocean) which eventually find their way into
these ocean vents, where, a process of osmosis, vitrification etc occurs, this coupled
with the animal life which feeds on these toxins, makes these vents a form of filtration.
Incontrovertible evidence that the earth was designed for perpetual life by an intelligent designer!

You've proved nothing, absolutley zilch. That you think you have merely shows the bizarro world in which you must live.

'Incontrovertible evidence'???!!!! Hilarious.

check this out,

Second, their data also includes some interesting discrepancies that point to a strong
biological influence on the chemistry of the water coming out of the lower-temperature
vents. The concentrations of hydrogen gas were 50 percent to 80 percent lower than
chemically predicted, indicating that something must be using it up. The researchers
chalk this up to hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria and methane-producing bacteria (known to
live in these environments), showing that some of the smallest forms life may be
greatly altering the chemistry of hydrothermal vents. It seems that low-temperature
vents are likely to become hot spots for research.

amazing, an organic ocean filtration system, How can you say that it isn't the
product of intelligence and design i dont know. I despair, i really do. Imagine
coming upon a water filter and thinking that's odd, its looks to be the product of
design, but nah, it just must of happened. Is that rational? logical? reasonable?

the water is taking up the hydrogen! thats what this is all about?

no, what it is about my friend, is that there is an intelligently designed oceanic filtration
system, which is capable of filtering even airborne pollutants, designed by the creator
of the universe in his wisdom! leading to the undeniable conclusion that the earth was
indeed designed for perpetual life.

Vertually all that the life forms there filter out of the water comes FROM the vents and not TO the vents so all that is irrelevant

What has been forgoten in this whole disussion (but that humy did point out) is that it is totally irrelevant whether or not ocean vents take anything out of or put anything into the sea water that goes through them. After all, the initial issue was whether or not anything comes out of the atmosphere. Once it is in the ocean, as humy pointed out, most of ...[text shortened]... where most carbon ends up. Either in the form of oil/gas or rocks high in carbon like limestone.

Exactly!
And those facts was simply ignored by Rob's subsequent post where he insisted that:

oceans act as depositories for these air borne pollutants (after salt aerosol
makes them heavy enough to drop into the ocean) which eventually find their way into
these ocean vents, ( robbie's quote)

the only real effective “depositories for these air borne pollutants” that end up in the ocean is the ocean sediment on the ocean floor. Even if any WAS somehow “filtered” by the vents it would be only in trivial trace amounts compared to the ~99.9999% of that which end up in the ocean sediments and would have no measurable effect on life on Earth.

sure ignore the empirical evidence if it makes you feel better, close your eyes, it might
run away!

Sorry, I was looking at the completely the wrong link there by mistake.

So, from the right link, for LOW-temperature vents which I didn't consider, bacteria around there take out dissolved hydrogen gas in the ocean water by converting it into methane or oxidise it ( to water ) and convert carbonate precipitate in the ocean from calcite to a form higher in magnesium called aragonite.

But neither hydrogen gas nor calcite are atmospheric particulate pollutants that are washed out by rainwater so even everything in THAT link is irrelevant to your claim that atmospheric particulate pollutants are filtered by the vents.

would you?

you STILL have not shown any link that shows that atmospheric particulate pollutants are filtered by the vents.

Its simply a matter of time
