Correct, but from Ross' viewpoint, it is inconsistent. Ross does not believe
that the elements were created at the instant of the animals creation. I
think George's point and then my point, was that if you reject the use of the
constants for evolution, you might as well be a YEC because the coincidences
are really meaningless in anything other than an evolutionary system, e.g. PC
or YEC.
