Eddie et.al.
So, for example in the link Christy provided. What speaks to me? This example:
> Objection: Amount of salt in the sea. Even ignoring the effect of the biblical Flood and assuming zero starting salinity and all rates of input and removal so as to maximize the time taken to accumulate all the salt, the maximum age of the oceans, 62 million years, is less than 1/50 of the age evolutionists claim for the oceans. This suggests that the age of the earth is radically less also.
> Response to Objection: The rate of increase — and decrease — in salinity of the oceans has varied over time.[47] When seawater is separated from the ocean itself, and subsequently evaporates, the salts (“evaporite”) left behind are no longer in the ocean, and the evaporated fresh water eventually returns through rain. The author of the linked article here tries to model salt accumulation in the ocean with a simplistic linear equation, which is grossly inadequate and based on an incorrect uniformitarian assumption.
The response in my opinion is deficient. The objection has already considered all the known removal mechanisms and rates of salt, including the one mentioned, and mentioning the water cycle just seems stupid in the context. He accuses the objection of being simplistic, while his own response is much more simplistic. What he also does not seem to realize is that this 62 million years does not fit into a YEC context, and so should give him pause to examine the claim more closely, than the superficial way he did. It’s not just about getting rid of half of the salt in the ocean, but its about reducing the salt in the ocean by 50 times. Much of the fresh water coming back into the ocean will contain salt - this is the point. This type of response leads me to accepting the YEC position, and it was not really what the YEC said, but what the evolutionist said that convinced me. It seemed a prevarication, rather than an analysis.
This is just one example, and one example does not make the whole case for one position or the other. But perhaps it illustrates how I approach things.
