Looks like you’re as up to speed on marine science as you are on physics and comedy classics.

Volume of Earth's oceans: ~310 million cubic miles.
Average salinity of the oceans: ~35‰
Average salinity of fresh water: ~0.5‰‰.

The Noachian Deluge, if it happened, would have flooded the known world. The known world (the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers’ watershed) back then wasn't very large... ~.1.6 million sq km... About 620,000 square miles.

Let's just say that some catastrophic precipitation event flooded the entire area to an average depth of 100'. That would be about 11,750 cubic miles of fresh-ish water.

When that water ran off into the oceans, it would lower the salinity from 35‰ all the way down to 34.999999999999‰. Seawater salinity has varied by much more than this throughout the Quaternary Period. During glacial stages, large volumes of water have been locked up in massive continental ice sheets. The cyclical freezing and melting of these ice sheets has caused seawater salinity to vary by more than 1‰ dozens of times over the last 2.5 million years... Most sharks weren't bothered by it.

More recently, Hendy et al., 2002 found evidence for a sharp drop in tropical sea surface salinity at the end of the Little Ice Age and noted that "decadal variations of up to 0.26‰" were quite common. 0.26‰ would be about 25 times the seawater salinity change that would be caused by the drainage of 11,750 cubic miles of fresh-ish water into the oceans.

Australia First: Our Oldies
By Cailen Cambeul | Published August 21, 2011

Australia First Party is holding a public protest on the open-door ‘refugee’ and ‘asylum seeker’ policies of the major parties and their allies in the Greens.

We are concerned about old Aussies without proper community assistance, homelessness amongst youth and families, open borders and security, treaties we never condoned, cheap labour driving Aussies from many jobs and more – while we observe so-called refugees moving into housing commission homes, jobs, welfare bounties and other public benefits. Since 1995, possibly as much as $100 Billion directly and indirectly, has been spent on these parasites. The massive burdens of ‘processing’, the navy, courts, lawyers, super-generous welfare, psychologists, building detention centres and burnt-down centres, teachers, expensive protests, the waste of parliamentary time, security assessments – it just goes on and on. Angry?

This is our country. We stand up for Australians – only. And most dangerous of all, we see the refugee influx as part of a recolonization of Australia driven from the top end of town. We intend to resist the politicians and the do-gooders of every stripe.

Protest Date/Time: September 17, 1pm

Venue: Rooty Hill School Of Arts, 32 Rooty Hill Road, South Rooty Hill (near train station).

Speakers: Asst. Professor Andrew Fraser, Perry Jewell, Dr. Jim Saleam and others (to be advised shortly).

Enquiries 02 8587 0014 ; ausfirst@alphalink.com.au

For the ultimate work on a refugee invasion, read the classic novel written in 1973 – long before the invasion of European societies began – The Camp Of The Saints

How many aborigines will be there ?

There is a slight problem with the flood story anyway.
If mount Ararat is the mountain that Noah landed on, it's about 16,000 feet high.
If it rained for forty days and forty nights, there would have to be 421 FEET of rain per day, to flood Ararat.

Now that's what I call weather.

But the dude in the OP has found a weasel around that.

Yeah, that god only knew the "known world", despite making the unknown bits as well. Maybe he just forgot?

[mistermack]

Was that meant to be serious? He didn't say how the water could stand up on it's own, to a height of 16,000 feet, just in the middle east.
I'm no bible expert, but I thought that it said that the whole world was flooded anyway.

We pointed out that the bibble says the flood drowned "every land under the sky", so maybe there are lands that AREN'T under the sky?

Oh, very serious. He's one of those guys that thinks he can make shit up as he goes along and nobody will challenge him because none of us are smart enough to do that. I picture him thusly:

Trigger Warning!!!1! :

Plus he's using the whole world's oceans to start his dilution "calculations", not the "known oceans".

[mistermack]

I picture him thusly:

Those were the days eh? When a man could be proud of his belly.

[mistermack]

My guess of 421 feet of rain per day was assuming no run-off.
If it wasn't raining elsewhere, then you could never get to any sort of depth, let alone cover a mountain.

God works in mysterious ways.
