For the fish of the sea, for the creatures of the deep, and so that we can always question his wisdom. There is no suggestion in scripture that God made the ocean salty. What we know from science demonstrates however, that there is much more salt entering the oceans of the world than is being lost. This puts an upper limit on the age of the oceans of the world of 62 million years according to uniformitarian presuppositions. If you are willing to entertain the fact of a worldwide global flood then that would allow a much more rapid influx of salt in a relatively short time. Some fish species have demonstrated the ability to adapt to changes in salt levels in water, so this is not necessarily a problem. If we assume that the ocean was created with some salt in it to begin with, then obviously it could also be significantly younger than 62 million years. As to why the ocean would have been created this way, then this would probably be an unanswerable question.

How does God's omniscience impact human free will?

God's omniscience, or all-knowing nature, means that God knows everything, including the choices humans will make. This can lead to the question of whether humans truly have free will if God already knows what choices they will make. Some believe that God's knowledge does not interfere with human free will, as humans still have the ability to make choices, even if God knows what those choices will be. Others believe that God's omniscience may limit human free will, as our choices may be predetermined by God's knowledge.

What is the nature of the God free will paradox and how does it impact our understanding of divine sovereignty and human autonomy?

The God free will paradox is the idea that if God is all-knowing and all-powerful, then how can humans have free will to make choices? This paradox challenges our understanding of divine sovereignty, which is the belief that God is in control of everything, and human autonomy, which is the idea that humans have the ability to make choices independently. It raises questions about whether our choices are truly free if God already knows what we will choose, and how much control God has over our decisions.
