slayer, it's a fairy tale! Gimmie a break!
Addendum: Okay, the total surface area of the Earth is 200 million square miles. If the flood covered all the mountains, then it would have to be 5 miles deep, or a total of a billion cubic miles of water. If this was removed and put together to form a small liquid moon, it would have a diameter of about 1,250 miles. Our moon is only 2,000 miles in diameter, so that should give you some idea of just how much water we're talking about. Where did it all go? That is far more water that hydrologists have been able to account for in all forms of water in the entire Earth---oceans, lakes, rivers, ice, water vapor, even in the form of mineral hydrates. The vast bulk of existing water is in our oceans, comprising roughly 300 milion cubic miles.

Yes the sea would still be satly because the world is made up of most of it. (the sea) So usually that would mean that if there is more of something and it takes over, then usually it will end up staying the same (salt wise) and creating even more in the process mostly because of the land.(rocks really and there natural compounds) As for how much there would be??? I have no idea lol ... but let's just say in simple terms...... a sh*t load.
