How Old Is the Ocean?

One scientist, Mr. J. Joly, after elaborate study of the ocean's salt deposits, estimates the age of the hoary sea at 94,544,000 years; but another, Mr. George F. Becker, places his figures between 38,000,000, and 48,000,000. All this is based on the uniformitarian hypothesis. There is still room for many professional and lay guesses, and the believer in the Bible need not worry.
