PS, tossing out something about "chemicals in the ocean" and then refusing to say which chemicals you're talking about is telling to say the least.



Ringman, do you know where the gypsum in your sheetrock comes from?


How about the minerals in coral reefs or sea shells? Or the minerals that make up all the sand on the beaches in the Bahamas and the rocks underneath, or the limestone in the Shenandoah Valley? Or the limestone that underlies most of Florida?
Please tell me the naturalistic system that produced and laid down these geological entities.


If you need me to explain evaporation, precipitation of minerals out of solution, deposition of evaporite deposits, and the biological origin of carbonate rocks you have no business talking about "chemicals in the ocean."


A wise man is frequently humbled.
