Not really.

They would be laughing because the change in salinity in the waters of the world would kill almost everything that lives in water.

Change?
Are you saying flood = more salt out of nowhere or flood = salt magically disappearing?

Neither.

Massive amount of rain (fresh water) mixed in with oceans (salt water) changes the concentration of salt in the water.

When that brackish water overflows the bounds of the ocean and floods into fresh-water sources such as lakes, it will add salt to the fresh water.

Since the gills of fish are function based on the salinity of their native environment, in waters with different salinity, they die. Both fresh-water and salt-water fish. All dead.
