Sea water salts and blood (Introduction)

I was taught in medical school and in my early reading about evolution that our blood salts closely resembled sea water salts, which could be attributed to as support of evolutionary theory that life started in the seas. Well, it seems it ain't true, and the presentation is by an arch vociferous neo-atheist biochemistry professor from Canada, Larry Moran. On his website is the proof blood plasma salts and ocean saltiness are different:-http://sandwalk.blogspot.jp/2015/02/john-f-kennedy-carnival-cruises-blood.html-"There was a time when people believed that the ionic composition of blood plasma resembled that of seawater. This was supposed to be evidence that primitive organisms lived in the ocean and land animals evolved a system of retaining the ocean-like composition of salts.-" Careful studies of salt concentrations in the early 20th century revealed that the concentration of salts in the ocean were much higher than in blood plasma. Some biochemists tried to explain this discrepancy by postulating that the composition of blood plasma didn't resemble the seawater of today but it did resemble the composition of ancient seawater from several hundred million years ago when multicellular animals arose.--"We now know that the saltiness of the ocean hasn't changed very much from the time it first formed over three billion years ago. There is no direct connection between the saltiness of blood plasma and seawater. Not only are the overall concentrations of the major ions (Na+, K+, and Cl-) very different but the relative concentrations of various other ionic species are even more different."-Doesn't disprove evolution, but shows like Haeckel's false embryos the amount of twisted information is out there to prop up Darwin.
