Fountains of the great deep....

Apparently, scientists have identified undersea rivers of highly saline/mineralized water in the depths of the ocean, forming channels, valleys, and even waterfalls due to its higher density than other water.  It reminds me of Genesis 7:11, where all the "fountains of the great deep were broken up" (NKJV) as the flood waters rose.  Given the high salinity of these underwater rivers, it also suggests that the standard geologic model of ocean salinization--runoff from land--may not be the only, or even the dominant, means by which the oceans were made salty.

This, in turn, could undermine one of the arguments for an old earth; the time estimated to salinate the oceans.  Very interesting, and very cool.
