hmm...think about this.

Michigan was once an inland sea. Drill just about anywhere here and you will sooner or later hit salt deposits or brine. At one time Michigan supplied rock salt for the entire Midwest.
There are many other places on earth where salt was deposited, sometimes many miles thick. There are even huge deposits deep under the Meditteranean.
You were saying?

"Because, since the ocean can't get rid of the salt"
Plate tectonics, you fail.
BTW: Exactly how does the flood fit into your fantasy?
What did you do while in school? Ignore every single class you ever took? No wait, you aced home ec and cheerleading?
Or, you are the product of homeschooling, in which case you are unaware of any of the sciences - specifically geology, climatology, ecology, physics, chemistry.
You will have to look up those words, obviously.
1. I'm certain it does get rid of salt, and someone else has probably already told you how.
2. How can you think you know how fast the oceans acquire salt? Who are you, God?
Because, since the ocean can't get rid of the salt, . . . .
Where do you think the salt in salt mines comes from, fucktard?
Do try to think before you proclaim your idiocy.
Then explain the Great Salt Lake.
Or did you bone you science teacher to graduate?
Oh, wait. You probably came from the idiot factory called 'homeschooling'.
Actually, by that logic the oceans can't be more than a hundred-odd years old, since that's how long it would have taken for the current concentration of aluminium to be reached at the measured rate of influx.
I guess all that stuff about 'Columbus' and 'America' must be bunk too!
"If the world was BILLIONS of years old, then wouldn't the ocean be MUCH saltier than it is now?"
Yes, because clearly you're a chemist and know lots about water solubility, evaporation, the dilution of salt in large bodies of water, and the rain cycle. You surely understand what you're implying with what you've said here :rolleyes:
...because the ocean would be WAY saltier if the earth was billions of years old.
You can only mix a limited amount of salt in water, after that, the salt starts to settle at the bottom. You can experiment yourself. Take a glass of water and see how much salt you can mix with it. You'll see that only after 2-3 spoonfuls (depending on the size of the glass and the spoon) the salt would start gathering at the bottom of your glass.

The reality of the Dead Sea: hypersaline, and below sea level fucks up such more than she'd realise.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
