If rain erodes mineral salts into the ocean and increases its salinity to its current level of 3.6 percent, how is it possible for the earth to be billions of years old?
The generally accepted age for the Earth and the rest of the solar system is about 4.55 billion years (plus or minus about 1%). This value is derived from several different lines of evidence.Unfortunately, the age cannot be computed directly from material that is solely from the Earth. ChaCha again!
