I recently came across the Oddo-Harkins rule and was wondering what YECs think of it.

In summary, the abundance of elements observed follows a very distinctive pattern in which even numbered elements are generally more abundant than odd numbered elements. This is explained in science by the way elements are formed in stars. However, if God created the universe recently rather than the elements being formed in stars then why did he create more even numbered elements than odd numbered elements?
