Dissolved Metals
Rivers are carrying dissolved elements such as copper, gold, lead,
mercury, nickel, silicon, sodium, tin, and uranium into the oceans at
very rapid rates when compared with the small quantities of these
elements already in the oceans. In other words, far fewer metals are
dissolved in the oceans than one would expect if a million years had
been available for them to enter solution (a). There is no known means
by which large amounts of these elements can come out of solution.
Therefore, the oceans must be much younger than a million years.
a. "... most metals are markedly undersaturated with respect to their
least soluble compounds, and the supply of metals during geological
time has been more than sufficient to attain saturation." Peter G.

Press, 1975), p. 427.
Most Scientific Dating Techniques Indicate That the Earth, Solar
System, and Universe Are Young.
For the last 150 years, the age of the Earth, as assumed by
evolutionists, has been doubling at roughly a rate of once every 15
years. In fact, since 1900 this age has multiplied by a factor of
100!
Evolution requires an old Earth, an old solar system, and an old
universe. Nearly all informed evolutionists will admit that without
billions of years their theory is dead. Yet, hiding the "origins
question" behind a vast veil of time makes the unsolvable problems of
evolution difficult for scientists to see and laymen to imagine. Our
media and textbooks have implied for over a century that these almost
unimaginable ages are correct. Rarely do people examine the shaky
assumptions and growing body of contrary evidence. Therefore, most
people today almost instinctively believe that the Earth and universe
are billions of years old. Sometimes, these people are disturbed, at
least initially, when they see the evidence.
Actually, most dating techniques indicate that the Earth and solar
system are young--possibly less than 10,000 years old.
